alarms in PV+?

i have a system set up with 30 odd alarms...(Using control logix) Then alarms are triggered with a dint condition..
alarm.1 alarm.2 alarm.3 ect..

Everything works good but when the alarm clears the text disapears from the alarm box but the box stays on the screen..becouse there is no alarm to ack. the box stays..how can i close the box when the alarm clears??..BTW there will always be alarm that have been ack. but not cleared..

I am not at my desk, but what I have done in the past is to have the clear condition close the alarm window. I think you set it in the screen properties.

You'll need to add a 'Close' button to the alarm popup display, from Objects->Display Navigation->Close.

Here is where you can to a remote close.

Thanks all for the relies..i did all of above before i posted..The alarm would clear (text would go away) but the red screen would remain..for the remote ack, and remote close i used
{[projectname]}alarm=0..thinking about it now i should perhaps of tried NOT{[projectname]} alarm...
However i solved..(Not fixed) the problem by latching the alarm and then adding a reset button..The ack and remote close is now done by remote_ack. This seems to work however if the person clears the alarm and pushes the ack button quickly the text goes but the screen remain..Hold the ack button for a second or two and the screen closes..
Its not perfect but i am still working on it...

I have the same erratic behavior.

Alarms should be latched and reset. Nothing worse for a guy who has to troubleshoot than a alarm that goes away.
