Output of a tag value in the alarm text (Basic Panels, Panels, Comfort Panels, RT Advanced)

Introduction

In WinCC, you can insert output fields into the alarm text which display the content of tags.

Requirements

● The "HMI alarms" editor is open.

● The alarm is selected.

Output of a tag value in the alarm text

To insert an output field for a tag value in the alarm text, proceed as follows:

1. Place the cursor onto the required position in the event text.

2. Select "Insert tag output field" in the shortcut menu.

3. Open the object list under "Tag" and select a tag.

You can also create the tag in the object list.

4. Under "Format", specify the length of the output field and the format for tag value output in

the alarm text.

Configure an output field of sufficient size. Otherwise, the tag content is not output to the

full extent in the alarm.

5. Click tick-button to save your entries.

WinCC inserts a placeholder for the output field into the alarm text: "<tag: n, [tag name]>" whereby n = text string length.
