Is there any way to show the machine alarms?

 

Thanks.

Which kind of alarms are you intending? If you can detail a little more what is your goal we can try searching for the appropriate solution

I want to display an alarm message when a PLC bit is 1 or true

I want to display an alarm message when a PLC bit is 1 or true. Like in a human machine interface (HMI).

Do you understand it?

Yes, this way your question is more clear. Nevertheless, it implies at least two different aspects:

  1. Communicating with the PLC to read alarm bit (and extracting the single bit out of the byte(s) received from the PLC)
  2. Displaying the message on screen when the specific bit is true

Since they are very different, which of them are you interested to? And did you already try something to solve your problem?

 

Item #2 can be easily solved with either a MessagePopup or a text control on the screen. Item #1 heavily depends on the PCL you are using.
