Fill alarm text 3 – Place an object to visualize the alarms (e.g. Alarm Window, in a picture). Correlation between trigger bit and address in the PLC The HMI alarm configuration refer to WORDs not BYTES (like usually organized the PLC tags). Remember: In the PLC the low byte stay on the left side of the word. For example: if configured the alarm word as MW0, will have the follow correlation Triger bit Address 0 M 1.0 1 M 1,1 ... 6 M 1.7 7 M 0.0 8 M 0.1 ... 15 M 0.7 In the FAQ http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/41512046you chan find S7 blocks to convert bit to byte and vice versa. Sample program The attached sample program has a example of simple alarms, alarms acknowledge by PLC logic and alarms that send a acknowledge bit to the PLC.

After going through manuals and forums for a day, I have still not found anything to describe requirements for the PLC Acknowledgment tag. If I try to use one word for the alarm trigger bit and another word for the PLC ack, it will say that the value for the PLC ack is invalid. //Martin

William_B Posts: 5225 Rating: (1195)	Hi-ya, Would someone be so kind as to make this example that will work on TIA Basic -- S71200 PLC and BASIC panel. A printout as PDF or screen captures might also be of help. Thanks.

I think that runs in the TIA Basic... I didn't tested it yet (I ask you to give feed backs if it is ok) Attachment AlarmsExample.zip (2479 Downloads)
