Creating Alarm Messages
Follow the instructions in this chapter to add alarm messages to your
application.
At this point you’ve added all the objects required to be able to use
the stapler option when the application is running. However, you still
need to add alarm messages that will inform you when something
goes wrong with the stapler.
Add alarm messages in the Alarm Messages editor.
To open the Alarm Messages editor:
1. Open the Messages folder in the Application Window.
2. Choose the Alarm Messages editor. Or, choose from the
toolbar.
The Alarm Messages spreadsheet appears on your screen. There
are already seven messages.
To add the first new message:
1. Position the pointer on the Trigger Value field in row 8, and click.
Or, use the down arrow to move to row 8.
2. Although you can enter any positive or negative trigger value,
type 8 .
An N (for “No”) appears in the Audio, Print, Relay, and Msg To
PLC fields. This means that these options are not enabled. The
Display field shows a Y (for “Yes”). This option is therefore
enabled. Accept the option defaults.
