I am converting a PV program into Wonderware 10. I've got most of it done, but I've got a couple of issues. In PV the alarms are done on the PLC by reading an integer value of a bit and then the alarm messages are on the PV program. In Wonderware, it wants to look at the value of all the individual tags and then you have to set WW up with the alarm conditions. I don't have the info available to me right now to know what triggers all the alarm conditions. What I would like to know if there is a way I can just read this integer value from the PLC and have Wonderware use it as an alarm. If I just create a string message and display it as an alarm, then Wonderware won't recognize it as an alarm and for acknowledgment and history purposes.
The other issue I am having is similar in that the plc is passing an integer value that has over 190 messages associated with it in PV. PV has a very nice multistate indicator setup for that, and Wonderware doesn't. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this work in Wonderware?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
