Machine Expert M251 Alarm Configuration

[SESA61402]

Hi to all,

I need to add an Alarm Management to my application.

I'm using Machine Expert 2.0.1 and the PLC is a M251.

According to the documentation it should be simple, just right click in the Tools tree on the Application node, Add Object>Alarm Configuration. Except that I don't have that object in the menu. Anybody can help ?

Thanks

Hello,

Alarm Configuration is not supported on TM241/251. I will only work on TM262. The part of the Visualisation in the online help is 1:1 the codesys 3 help. Not every function which is descripte is supported on every hardware.

Hi @SESA61402 ,

Our colleague @Bastian_Schmitz  is right the M241 and M251 do not support the "Alarm configuration". However, I have made a basic example of how to visualize actual and historical alarms in visualizations of those PLCs (something is better than nothing).

I hope it can be useful for you.
