Alarm Trigger
So this means that the message is retriggered allmost every second..., kinda weird...,
I inserted an MMC for logging on an other machine. There I made an ALARM LOG of 500000 records instead of 500 and a DATA LOG with the same range. What I have in mind is that logging is triggered when there is a rising edge of an alarm message. The DATA LOG is done by checking on a changed value of the Tag that I'm logging.
Thanks for the reply Jeebs, your a true help. I saw you on other posts as well, where do you work in Belgium ?

Find the corresponding bit in plc, then use it to increment a counter, then check it out in a VAT (assuming you're using S7 still). Possible it's being toggled way faster then once per second. (remember having same problem)

Actually
the alarm logs log every change in alarm state. Coming, going, acknowledge, .... by default. Haven't found a way yet to change this.Data logs can be changed. Cyclic, on change or on demand.

something weird
The Alarm can be retriggered a lot of times, I'll check it out soon..
There is still bothering us something...
On the Alarm Screen we get useful information, but the data logged on the CSV doesn't match what we see on the panel ?
The Last 500 messages on the CSV are not the same as what we see on the panel ??
This is the configuration:

CF card
When we take out the CF card, no more messages can be seen o the panel, when re-inserted we can see them, so the data must be on the CF card for sure ?
It's kinda weird that the data doesn't match what we see on panel and CF. I'll check this out later today. Logically the data on CSV must Match what we see on the panel, Right ?

Data Logging
I overlooked the CSV file, it became clear to me.
The last alarm can be seen at the botom of the excell sheet. On the panel, the last alarm is viewed at the upper level. Stupid of me, but I'm pretty sure that's the reason of wrong interpretation.
Important to know was the C and D states and that the alarm was re-triggered,
Thanks Jeebs

Hi,
The location of storage is selected in the Alarm logging settings. I believe only CF-card or ethernet are possible atm.
Good to see that the logging is correct.
Now if you'd like the panel to show em in the same order as in the *.csv-file then you can:
In your alarm window > Properties > Columns > Sort > Oldest alarm first.
If the C and D states are important for the operator, then you might want to consider adding colors to the alarms.
We use:
Red > Alarm coming
Orange/yellow > Alarm acknowledged but still there
Green > Alarm gone
