Alarm set poin

Ignition

I have some analog signals that have hard coded alarm set points. I other words I have a number in the alarm configuration\alarm mode settings\set point location. I would like to be able to read and display this value but I’m not sure how to do it or if it is even possible.

Thanks

Henry,

You can do this by creating a memory tag to hold the value of the setpoint. Then, bind the setpoint property of the alarm to the memory tag. You can now display the setpoint in the project by binding to the tag.

I already have done that using memory tags. The memory tags are operator adjustable and I want some hard coded set points as a backup. Maybe I should make the set point backup tags, memory tags that the operator can’t adjust only a tech in designer.

Thanks for the help

That would be your best bet.
