I tried to search the forumn for topics related to "first Out" alarmingm but didnt have much luck.
I noticed V16 of Logix5000 can somewhat support "first Out" alarming? Has anyone used this, or had any luck with it?
I have a number of digital inputs, through a few 1756-IV16 cards, that need to be monitored. The customer only tells me they want local "first out" annunciation. From what ive read, the rolling timestamp will only update per I/O card, as a whole (ie. I cant use the time stamp for two different inputs on the same card, to determine which input actually tripped first.)
I see Knowledgbase has a sample program for 5 inputs on a Logix500 platform.
Can anyone shed light on how this can be done on a Logix5000 platform. Or if anyone has any luck with the new alarm features of Logix5000 V16 - and if its a true "first out"?
Thanks
