Hello,

I am trying to find some documentation on how to display with parameter r947 (fault code) and a text list the alarms of the S120 on an HMI. I have an S120 that is directly connected with profibus to an HMI.

I have downloaded the XML file for the version 4.5 of the S120 converter and imported the textlist with all the alarm texts. The problem is that I don't know how to display the alarms on an 'alarm view' object. If I use the text list with a symbolic IO field objects, it works and displays the message that must be displayed. But I want to display this message as an alarm and not as just a simple text on an IO field.

Please help me!!

Hello,

the procedure for the WinCC Flex Alarmview for S120 is described here:

hello,

I am following this documentation exactly, but in the paragraph 2.5 there is reference to firmware versions <4.5, or am I understanding something wrong? I read that for versions >=4.5 an XML file has to be downloaded instead of these files that are on the link. The XML file is converted to csv and then imported as a text list. I imported the text list but I don't know how to link the list with the alarms.... . Can you please give me some more details?

edit: I attach a photo with the current problem. Although the IO symbolic field shows the text, the alarm window does not.
