Alarming outside of the status table

Ignition
1

Is there a way to update the "state" of the alarm status table wihtout using the acknowledge on the table? I want to update the state of my alarm by sending an ACK from the PLC, while also keeping the functionality of acknowledging the alarm from the HMI whenever required

Yes, through scripting:

I get using system.acknowledge, but how does that come into play if i want them to be acknowledged from the PLC and just update the state in the status table

You'd need a tag on Ignition reading your "ACK" tag, use a change script on this to use the system.alarm function

I get that, but how do I specify the alarm ID for this, is there a way to monitor the alarm bit and the ack bit of the same tag, and everytime the ack bit changes,i can get the event id corresponding to that alarm?

Query the path for associated alarms, it returns the alarm event uuid.
