I think this way is better in order to group the alarms and even to configure them in WinCC Flex... Best regards, Hristo Mihalev

Even with only two alarms is necessary to use a tag like word to send alarms from the CPU to HMI. This is because it is more advantageous to use a word that can transmit 16 alarms using the same tag and not 16 tags. Regards.
