I have a client who has asked for a pop-up for each of their analogs, which will display the alarm values. The values displayed in the pop-up would be linked to the PLC tag. They have a total of 321 instruments across all of their sites.
My initial thought was to make a pop-up window, which is linked to global object. Draw a button on the screen for each instrument, which is "invisible" (same colour as background), and have it load a parameter file for each specific instrument.
This means I have to create 321 parameter files. Is there a better way to accomplish this?
Alternatively, they have 12 sites total, I could just create a large pop-up (full page?) and list all setpoints for each site on a single page, which would limit the number of parameter files needed to create.
The PLC's are either ControlLogix, CompactLogix, or Micrologix. Most of the alarm setpoints are scattered around the programs, and not in a single AOI. So each setpoint being displayed on FTView will need to be linked to a unique tag.
