Good afternoon to all
I am using FTV 8.1, RS logix Micro developer, and (4) 1400 A micro processors.
Scenario: If any one of a dozen + alarms goes off, the Machine needs to "pause" until the alarm is cleared/acknowledged.
Would it be advisable to use Event Input interrupt. What would be the draw backs. Advantage. Is there a more acceptable way to achieve this function.
Only seven events are available when the EII function file is opened. Can a second or third be opened after that.
Is this the same as an interrupt subroutine and can it be managed in the same way.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Your efforts will be appreciated.
