I'm using FactoryTalk View Studio and RSLinx5000 with a control Logix processor
In FTV, I have an alarm banner (from Digital alarms setup in the plc). I want to have a button that will acknowledge the "topmost" alarm, and a second button to acknowledge all alarms (well the unack'd ones).
I make a PB on the screen, and go to the run command, in the wizzard there is an "Acknowledge" and "AcknowledgeAll" function.
I set the single to do most recent/severe and just have the ackall on the other.
however, when i go press the button, none of the alarms are acknowledged. I think I may be missing some other connectio here.
I can use the Alarm Banner's "acknowlede" check button to acknowledge a selected alarm, but would rather have a PB on the screen that just goes top down w/o having to select each alarm.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
