Alarm configuration Wincc v5.0 and v7.2

[Liew]

Hi all,

I had 2 sets of Wincc HMI, 1 is v5 and another is v7.2.

In this case, is it possible to configure "alarm broadcast" to both HMI PC between v5 and v7.2 ?

Alarm broadcast I meant was the when alarm trigger from v7.2 it will appear at v5 HMI as well. and able to acknowledge too.

If possible, any advice without additional software and hardware?

What is triggering the alarm in the v7.2 HMI? Is it a marker or data value from the PLC/CPU? If yes, then you should be able to use the same variable/value to trigger an alarm in the v5 HMI. This means that the v5 HMI will need to have the same alarm event created in it.

If the alarm is being triggered internally in the v7.2 HMI (using a script, etc.), then perhaps you can create a variable in the PLC that the HMI can manipulate when the alarm is active. This PLC variable can be read by the second HMI (v5) and trigger an alarm event in it.
