Hi All,
I've got a dataword in the software that contains all the errors. If its equal to 1 then Error 1, 2 = Error 2, etc etc
I want to show these in a WinCC Flex project but its only allowing me to reference the alarms via 'bits' rather than value.
So, if my alarm word is 3 I'll actually be setting the two least significant bits which will mess it up. I've attached a piccy to illustrate my problem.
I want the errors to appear if my ALARMS tag is 'equal' to those numbers. Not just if the various bits are set. Otherwise when I have Error 3 on in the program, WinCC Flex will be trying to show Alarm Error 1 and 2.
Hope that makes sense.
I've not actually got a PLC with me to try this but I'm assuming that's what's going to happen. Can someone clarify whether doing it my way is possible.
Many thanks
