how to show alarms in alarm and event view window

[Asif138]

Hello Friends,

I have a project where I used shared variables to read data from the PLC and I also configure some alarms for that which shows on the alarm and event view window.

Now I want to also show and log alarms for data that is not a shared variable.

LabVIEW read one byte of data from PLC which has a fault code and according to the fault code, I want the fault to display in the same alarms and event window where shared variable alarms show.

the fault code and alarm description are saved in an Excel file.

The picture is attached for reference.

Please guide me on how can i set an alarm and log the fault depending on the code read from PLC.

Regards

Asif

Read the Excel data as 2D array and [FaultCode][Alarm], Search for 1D [Fault code] array for fault code and use the Index of 1D [Fault code] array and Get the alarm for respective fault code.

IMHO: Its always better to try from your end and post the same to get suggestions from other LabVIEW Experts
