Having an issue with my alarm configurations. I have 2 UDTs with alarms configured on a couple of the members. I have 16 instances of a valve UDT with a fail to open and a fail to close alarm, and 8 instances of a different valve UDT with a fail to open alarm (40 alarms total between the 24 UDT instances). All 3 of the alarm configurations are the same:
I feel like this would be a fairly standard implementation of an alarm. A simple boolean tag from the PLC with a configured alarm. Am I using the wrong mode? The alarm is already configured to the tag, do I really have to bind the Is Active condition back to the tag?
Edit:
Messing around with the other options, I tried “Equal” with 1 being the Setpoint and got the functionality I was looking for.
