Easybuilder Pro - Show pop-up

Hello !

I will try to explain you my problem.

I'm doing a Easybuilder pro MMI. I created an alarm list object and a display to show all the new PLC's defaults.
They ask to me to open a pop-up form when a new default is detected. The pop-up have to show the name of the default, the date and hour of apparition.
I haven't find anything on this subject on easybuilder. I tried to do a VB macro but I don't know the function do show a form (Form.Show() doesn't work)
How can I make that ?
I just want to catch the last default on the alarm list and show it on a pop-up.


Thank you a lot.

I would look at Chapter 6 Window Operations. You can combine this information along with the popup.

Hope this helps you out.

Thanks for your answer.

I read the paragraph but unfortunately it doesn't help me...I created the pop-up window. The thing I don't succeed is to open it when a new alarm is detected.
Any VB developpers who can help me ?

I think the closest thing that you can use is the bit address LB-9043 (unacknowledged events exist).


If you combine that with the Indirect Window object you could show a popup when there are unacknowledged alarms.
It would stay open until alarms are all acknowledged.


Have a look at chapter 22 System Registers; and in particular 22.3.9 Event Log

If I am following correctly,

The popup to which you are referring is displayed upon the acknowledgement of an alarm defined in alarm log and displayed in the alarm object display. The alarm object display must be placed on a window for the alarm to be displayed before it can be acknowledged.

In order to make the alarm display object popup,

1. place the alarm object display (or any objects that you would like) on a new window
2. place a direct windows object in the common window, the read address is a bit set when the alarm is triggered by the plc or by the notification field in the event log object and the attribute is the window no. of the alarm window you wish to popup corresponding to the alarm

Hope this helps

Hi, and thanks for your answer.

I did all what you say, I can't make any tests for the moment but I will when I will get the PLC

I have also set an alarm scroll list in the pop-up window to show the name of the last alarm. I don't know if it works.


Thanks to all !
