Thanks, would this still apply even though I am unable to see the tags in tag explorer when I try to import through alarm logging? Regards, henno2000 |

Hi, Did you place a check in the checkbox when trying to import (browse) ? See the attached picture for what I mean... with regards, Ikkezelf |

Yes, the box is checkmarked, but still no tags are displayed. |

I've just come up with a quick "how-to" for creation of the analog alarms and their monitoring values... Check the attached file. I believe you'll have to create the analog alarms and their monitoring first. Then import the messages, since the limit monitoring will access existing messages only. In the messages' "Message Tag" field you still cannot use the floating points. AttachmentAnalog Alarm.pdf (150 Downloads) |

Analog alarms is what I use also. They work great. Still I use them only with unsigned tags, but the idea is good Danielle. with regards, Ikkezelf |

Yes, In the WinCC Information System which gets installed during the wincc install. |

You can always use the wincc tag simulator to trick the tag... You can find it under start-> simatic -> wincc -> tools |

Would this work for tags that are imported through OPC (as in this case?) I have tried applying values to these tags, but they do not seem to overwrite them |

Hi, you are right, but if you set the analog alarm to "less then value x" this would result in a trigger for the valu zero. with regards, Ikkezelf |

Many thanks for the info. Is there not a way to avoid this problem? Regards, henno2000 |

Is it possible to set a rule of some definition so that a particular group of alarms are not displayed? Regards, henno2000 |

You could lock the messages... that's a good thing to try! |
