M172: Alarm Webpage

[rfond]

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to create a view in the web site with a summary table of alarms (all alarms would be declared in the alarm window of the Machine Expert HVAC configuration page), similar to what can be done in Vijeo? Thank you!

Hi, not in a direct way. The alarm window in ESME HVAC is more or less only helpfull if you use a TM171O controller. On TM172 it is more or less integrated regarding to be compatible. To show values on the webpage you need the data available on modbus. The alarm values are not reachable via modbus.

Attached a sample project which writes alarms in the EEPROM and show the as string on the websever with a date time stamp. The Website is a custom site with fixed modbus Register adresses. Please consider that if you will adjust the project on your needs. The comments in the project are all in german. You could translate them into Englisch with DEEPL if needed.

Thank's for your help, can you send me you template ?

Because i have this error :
ERROR: (WebPageBuilder.Init) Can not load site template FreeAdvance\WebSiteTemplates\Base_trox\base.sitetempl

[rfond]

Can you send me alarm template please ?

Sorry for the late response, I was on vacation. You could use any other base.sitetempl. The one which was used in the sample project was adjusted for a project . But this template is not used for the "special" Alarm page. So if you use the standart sitetempl it will also work well.

But in your first answer you say "The website is a custom site", so I thought you had a special "Template"

Hi,

First a big sorry, it seems I share a bad version of the sample project and not the right one. 

Here attached the right one. 

The Alarm Page is a custom page.

The file for this page is located in the web_source folder

If you import this file to an project it is important that you copy manually the alarm.cgx file in the final web folder.

If you rename the page, you must also rename the cgx file.

The cgx file is needed for the webpage to communicate with the plc. Without correct cgx file, no communication.

The numbers in the cgx file represent the modbus register addresses. If you use different addresses you need to adapt the file manualy.

You could test the behaivor of the alarm table with simulating alarms in this program 

You can here adapt the message text

And you could here adapt the text for the state of the alarm

it mean inactive, active, and resetable. 

The most comments in the project are now german and englisch.
