Trying to setup an alarm to be triggered once a counter is complete. So far I have this working correctly, once the counter is complete an alarm pops up saying 'Counter Complete' and then the operator must acknowledge this error before using the HMI again.
What I want to know is can I stop PLC logic too when this alarm comes up? What I mean by this is if there is an error and it has not be acknowledged, can I prevent the operator from starting the machine? (ie. pressing a pushbutton will not turn on a light/motor/etc... until alarm acknowledged) I can see in the alarm setup and alarm trigger screens that there are tags that might do this but am confused as to what they all do.
Any help would be most appreciated. If you need more information let me know.
