Using the Remote Ack Tag with Value Triggered Alarms
This section shows how the controller acknowledges one or all value
triggered alarms using the Remote Ack tag.
The following setup shows 3 alarms (A,B,C) assigned to the alm_tag
trigger. The Trigger Type is Value. The Value/Bit field shows a
different trigger value (1,2,3) for each alarm. The value 0 is reserved.
In the Tag Editor, alarm tag definitions are:
Tag Name Data Type Tag Address Node Name
alm_tag Unsigned Integer N15:0 SLC_1
ack_tag Unsigned Integer N16:0 SLC_1
rem_ack Unsigned Integer N15:1 SLC_1
When the value 2 is entered at N15:0, Alarm B is triggered. When
the controller returns this trigger value to N15:1 (rem_ack tag
address), Alarm B is acknowledged. When the value 3 is entered at
N15:0, Alarm A is triggered. When the controller returns this value
to N15:1, Alarm A is acknowledged.
The Ack Tag must be a value/word address and returns the value of
the alarm. The PanelView will input a value when you or the
controller acknowledges an alarm.
