Analog alarm delay time

Hello :)

I'm configuring analog alarms in WinCC TIA Portal V13. I wonder if it's possible to configure delay times longer then 10 seconds? (see attachment)

Hello ToVerm,

I don't think so.

Even if you export the alarm, change the delay time and re-Import the changed alarm, it just marks the higer time value red (and seemingly changes it back to 10s).

Why do you need a greater delay?

Please don't forget to name the system and version you are developing for in your posts (see pinned thread from Murof).

Btw: please post pictures directly as pictures and not in a doc file. Some user might not open them because some file formats can be suspiciuos and as a result you'd get less help from the community.

Thanks H.J.

Well, the configured alarms are for guarding values of a pressure sensor in a room where a filter is installed. The room is in underpressure (-0.8 mBar) but the pressure can alter due to more material on the filter, so that the air in the room can escape less eaily (there's a pump outside that removes air from the room, creating underpressure).

Sometimes, the pressure rises bit for a shorter time (like 15 sec) due altering or changing a component on the production line. Then, an alarm shouldn't be generated...

For your other remarks:

• TIA Portal V13;
• WinCC Advanced;
• TP1500.

Hi ToVerm,

in this case you should use a discrete alarm triggered by the PLC. Then you can increase the delay.
