Audible signal on alarm

Rod Posts: 4 Rating: (0)	I'm using WinCC on a MP370. I'd like to be able to start the device'ssound generator when an alarm is generated, and cancel it when the alarm is acknoledged. I've looked in the help files and the support section here, but with no luck. Can anyone help me? If it's not possible, knowing that would help too! Thanks, Rod.

(The Horn Editor is part of the Basic Control Option on the WinCC CD) - Use the GMsgFunction standard C script to play the sound. (see http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/5667814) A few other faqs that may help: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/775455 http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/17778088 http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/979559 Hopefully this is enough to get you started. Any questions, just ask.

Salma Posts: 1398 Rating: (151)	Also just to clarify, it is WinCC and not WinCC Flexible you are using? I only ask as you mention MP370.

Rod Posts: 4 Rating: (0)	Er, yes it IS WinCC flexible; 2005+HF4, build 01.01.00.04_102.01 to be precise I'm quite new to this package so didn't realise that WinCC and WinCC flexible are different. Now I've explored the forums better, I see there are separate ones for the two types of WinCC. I don't seem to have a Horn editor; is that something that isn't in WinCC flexible? Any more suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks, Rod.

Salma Posts: 1398 Rating: (151)	Sorry no, the Horn editor is just for WinCC and not WinCC Flexible. You would be better off posting your question on the WinCC Flexible forum instead. Don't let the names fool you, they are completely different products !

skimmer Posts: 317 Rating: (18)	Hi Rod, Yes I believe this is possible using flexible for MP370 but only using open Platform kit. If you don't want this expense(v expensive) then I think Siemens can do this for you at a cost. Just writing an active X control. Hope this helps

Zebulon Posts: 4 Rating: (0)	I am not sure if this will lead ta a solution. But a alarm can trigg the function StartProgram. So if it possible to add a "external" sound program it should be possible to activate a sound signal that way. //
