Hey guys,

I would like to be able to press a button on an HMI and have it both acknowledge an ALMD/ALMA alarm in the PLC and also acknowledge it in the Alarm List in the HMI. With a FT Alarm and Events server for FTView SE this would be a piece of cake, but unfortunately I'm running this on a machine.

My thoughts were to somehow use some type of PB to connect to a tag in the PLC to acknowledge the alarm there and also connect it to a macro to push the standard Ack Alarm button that you can link to the alarm list.

Would anyone know how to do that? Or have a better idea of a way to do what I am trying to do?

Thanks
 
While I don't use the ALMD/ALMA functions myself, there is a way to have a PLC tag acknowledge the alarms.

Go to Alarm Setup --> Advanced. Under there, put your PLC tag in the "Remote Ack All" box. Then set your HMI pushbutton to also use this PLC tag.
