How to Extract Individual Bits of %MW for alarm
I’m using EcoStruxure Operator Terminal Expert and have a 16-bit register %MW1. I’d like to use each bit (bit 0 through bit 15) to trigger a different alarm—so bit 0 = Alarm A, bit 1 = Alarm B, … bit 15 = Alarm P.
What’s the simplest way to set this up in EOTE so that each individual bit can be read as a Boolean tag or directly used to fire its own alarm?
Any clear, step-by-step examples would be hugely appreciated!
