It is important to place the unlatch rung before the latch rung to ensure
proper alarm message triggering if both the alarm acknowledgment and
new alarm input trigger occur in the same PLC program scan.
Acknowledge Button Address
When you enable the Acknowledge Button address from the Alarm
Window menu, an address definition window opens. You can define a PLC
Input address that PanelView will use to tell the PLC controller that the
Acknowl Alarm button on the Alarm History screen or Alarm Window is
pressed.
The Acknowledge Button Address bit is set to 1 for as long as the button is
pressed, or for the duration of the button hold time, whichever is longer.
When configuring the alarm system, you can enable several options
allowing the PLC controller to process alarms. To set the system for
Remote Window Processing, choose Options from the Alarm window
menu to open the Options menu.
