Hello all.. I have a program for my customer. There is an alarm page. They want a solution screen for alarms. For example ; if there is an alarm , they will click a button near the alarm. They will see solutions for that alarms in a pop-up page. Is it possible with GT Designer 3 ? Thanks

I'm using a GT1275 HMI with GTDesigner3 and am trying to add some Alarm Logging capabilities. I've made an alarm page and have it working correctly, but the problem is once the display is full it stops showing current alarms. Is there a way to have it only show the 20 most recent alarms? Make it where the newest alarm deletes the oldest alarm? Or at least make it where I can scroll down to see the latest alarm? I've attached some screenshots of the current alarm page and settings. I tried the "clear oldest history..." button but I can't set a specified target value. That may not be the right way either so IDK. Thanks.

Hi, Is there a way to write an Event Name to a string variable in Sysmac Studio? I'm using a NJ-301. My problem is that I can detect that there is an error and get the Error Code using functions GetECError, GetMCError, GetPLCError, etc, but I want to get the Event Name associated with the code (in a string variable), to display that string on an HMI (not from Omron). Is this possible?

Good morning Today I have the honor to present you our project, on which we have worked the last months. We have been annoyed for years that when creating software in special machine building, sometimes the same/similar messages are created over and over again and then they are described similarly or the same in the machine documentation. The thought, if the mechanical components are mostly the same/similar, the error description can also be "copied" (at least initially). An Excel table with the error numbers seemed to us here a good beginning, however it would be practical, if with each message text also still the description to the message in a document, including pictures, tables etc., were deposited. This was then the point where we first thought about an online tool. This also solves problems with collaboration and makes it possible to work together. Also additional languages can be added if a machine is to be rolled out to a new market. PLC-Alarm is a young Austrian startup founded by PLC programmers to ease the handling with machine messages and their descriptions. Therefore we tried to solve the following problems besides the creation of an error list: Working together on message lists Hierarchical creation of message lists Inheritance of message texts and message descriptions to lower-level projects Adding additional message lists to make message texts more variable. Adding a description to any message text in any language via Google Docs. (Connection to Microsoft Word-online is in progress) Document template for uniform presentation Combining all message descriptions into one machine document file. Highlighting used messages to avoid having unused message text in the message list. And to shorten the machine document file. Upload a file containing the used message numbers to mark them automatically. Any export options for PLC, SCADA and HMI systems possible. (Currently optimized for TIA Portal only). Suggestions for additional features welcome As mentioned in the last point, currently only exporting for a TIA Portal text list is possible since the first customers are also programming on Siemens. But we are looking forward to extend this according to customer requirements. Do not hesitate contact us via e-mail. We invite you to test our free web applications and leave your feedback. The application is already successfully in use at the first customer and we are looking forward to more users.

Has anyone found a way to put the UserAlarmViewer messages into a Label? I use 3 different alarm levels and would like to have a single line alarm banner. In NJ, I use an Array of Bool for triggers. In Siemens, I made a message banner that cycles through each message every 3 seconds from a text file and displays the string in a label. Logic is much different in Omron so rewriting is not possible, nor does Omron use VBA.

Hello, I am new to Scada Programming. I am using Citect scada V7.50. I have completed whole project, but I am unable to generate Excel report for Alarms generated during run time. Please help me for this issue. Thanks...

Hello Dear Colegues. I am using historian 7.0SP6 (enterprise license). I have installed OPCAE collector to collect alarm and events data from a project in cimplicity in order to have an historical data of it. Also I have checked the Historian OPCAE interface box in the cimplicity project´s properties. The problem is that when I try to see the tags from OPCAE collector on historian administrator I have the following error "No Tags Matched The Criteria You Have Entered. Please Try again or Cancel your Search". Also, I am not able to see the "last 10 alarms in the collector´s configuration tab. What could causing this problem?

Hi, how can I get rid of those alarms with status I(O) ? They are simply something like duplicates and they re making it hard to read the logs.

I am using a Label as a Message Display with Resource Group. I want to do the same thing with my User Alarms, I do not like the Alarm View Popup.....The image is how I assume it needs to be setup. It compiles and downloads without fault, but messages do not display. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? I could retype all the User Alarms in a Message Resource folder, but I have a lot of User Alarms.... Thanks,

Every time my rsview32 project starts up all the alarms which are set up to alarm on 0 tag value show up on the screen even though the bit in the PLC is not in alarm condition. I believe this is because the communication between RSView32 and PLCs is not established yet and the tags are seen as having value of 0 in the HMI. Is there a way to disable or suppress these tags at startup to give enough time for the RSView to update the values so the false alarms are not being displayed?

Hello, I am using Omron CP-1E PLC and expansion module 16ER and tc module. When plc operated alone it goes to run mode when expansion module is connected either 16ER or TC module plc ALM/ERR led turned on.

Hello, I would like to see your logical opinion about this situation and in which part of system where I need to find solution - software or in the physical field. Subject: Twelve old system based on Mitsubishi PLC AnS series, Profibus Here is pneumatic transport, with 5 lines, each line have a shredder and discharge valve. A few months ago, when line 1 works , display shows line 2 and vice versa, it was first problem, but the system was still working. From the last week system doesn't work. On the display appear line 3 in works, but system can not started. Alarm shows Double address (perhaps two valves have some address), Alarm still appear after reset and even all lines are turned off. What is your opinion where to find proble (PLC, I/O moduls, cables,...)

I have entered the messages many times into the Alarm Setup but every time i re-open the alarm setup, every message that has the Trigger Value=1 will be deleted. Anyone have a similar issue?

HELLO dear friensds ive been recently working with nq designer and i was trying to define some ALARMs on my program that if any of specified values changed the alarm appears on the HMI screen but the problem is that i dont know how to create alarms and what are the steps of making one i have seen some contents that said we have to use S0014 or S004 ...but that is all i see on net can any one please help me make some alarms its really urgent and my project has to be done soon !! **The PLC is : CJ2M **The HMI is :NQ5-MQ000-B **** THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE ****
