iFix Generate alarm from boolean block

Hello,

in iFix I want to do a boolean calculation with two values, and generate an alarm if the result is true.

The calculation in my BL block is working, and I can see the result in the database manager.

The next thing is I want to create an alarm message. When I create a DA block with a SIM address, and connect it to the BL block with next block connection, the DA block does not change the value.

If I use a DO block instead, and connect the DO block to the BL block, it's working, but the DO block does not allow generating alarms.

Can anyone give me a hint of how I can generate an alarm message from the BL block result?

Thanks, Thomas

Create a DA or DI block with the same SIM address as your DO block.

Thank you, it works.
It looks a bit strange with the intermediate block, and usually I guess an error when a SIM address is used more than once, but if it's the way to go.

I wonder if you get an error if more than 1 OUTPUT block has the same SIM address?
