I have read through many threads on here and have tried using one of the examples of assigning the NQ a V10.0 in Logo software, and using the tag VW10 in TIA to trigger the alarm window with my trigger bit being 8 (to be honest I have tried many combinations and with no success). I am hoping that there is something simple that I am overlooking. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Used software: WinCC TIA V16 LSC V8.3.0 The ZIP file of the project is too large for attaching. So I load it up to my cloud. [snip] Attachment Siemens Support Help.zip (121 Downloads)

In the document in the link it says that the trigger tag needs to come from a "Use the data types “Bool”, “USInt” or “UDInt” for the trigger tags." But in the advanced software it will not allow use of those data types and is requesting the use of a Word type trigger. I have tried to use VW10 as the HMI alarm tag and then when creating the discrete alarm using the trigger bit that coincides with NQ in the Logo program. This has been unsuccesful in trigger the global screen to open/having the alarm window to show the error. Using the same addressing method between the HMI and Logo, I can make the NI work to set bits in the Logo program.
