Hi all,
I am new to citect programming, having just done a citect config (V7.30) course I have some idea but not a heap of knowledge and also the system I am working on only has V5.4.2.
But that said I am trying to get the pc running citect to make a reoccurring sound when the alarms are unacknowledged.
I was able to make this work at the course on V7.30 by creating some cicode that returned a 1 if any of the alarms was high, then I had an event that was triggered by the cicode function. The event was set to reoccur every 2 secs and the output was set to beep(0).
Now on this machine I have a tag call siren (which drives the real siren via the plc) triggering the event ie siren=1, but that is about the only change. I have added a button to a page to check the beep(0) code which works. Also I have used a rectangle set to fill when siren is high which works. Note I have also been through the setup wizard and enabled the new event also.
BUT..... nothing. any ideas.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks
