Hi,  
I have a question: Im trying to connect a dynamic tag (an alarm display string) that comes from a PLC. I created an opc tag that is connected to an alarm number in the plc and in alarm configuration, for display path, Im using a biding tag option that has a alarm string. My problem is that the alarm does not update the dynamic message. Would there a better job of displaying it? Thank you in advance,

The alarm event that is generated will evaluate the bindings at the time of the event. The fields will not continuously update.
