I'm hoping that this a simple problem that I just don't see.
Most of my background is with GE Cimplicity.
I'm running FTView SE 6.0 on a Windows XP SCADA computer with RSLogix5000 on the PLC.
I have a script that will generate data from the PLC and output it to a .csv. The script works fine when I tie it to a button.
I've also tested it so it will run when a when a screen opens.
The problem is I need to have the screen open when a bit turns true in the PLC so the script will execute.
I've put the bit in the alarm and event setup and put a message to display in the banner. The message displays when the bit triggers. But I can't seem to get the FactoryTalk View Command on that alarm to display the screen with the script.
I've also tried using a macro. The macro opens the screen when I tie it to a button, but again I cannot get the macro to run when the alarm triggers thru the alarm setup.
Should I be trying to do this thru the event monitor?
