Hi All
I have an Array in my PLC which I want to use for alarms. In this case, I have "HMI_Alarm_0", whithin this I have "HMI_Alarm_0_[0]", "HMI_Alarm_0_[1]"... "HMI_Alarm_0_[31]". The tag is an array of INT
Is it possible to have this alarm on each of those value bits as they go high/low? How do I go about this or do i need to have atag for each alarm item?

I belive this post will help you.
Hi,
I Emmanuel Katto from Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) have an integer array with 300 elements, where each element is of type int16. Each bit in these elements represents an individual alarm, so in total, I have 4,800 alarms. Each alarm also has an associated display path and label.
What’s the best approach to configure this setup in Ignition and add all the alarms, including their respective display paths and labels?
I’m looking for the most efficient method to handle such a large numb…
Or this one:
I have Alarm integer array with 300 array element , each array elements present int16 , each bit present one alarm mean i have 4800 Alarms with display path and label .
What's the best approach to configure this case and add these alarms to ignition a long with display path and labels .
My recommendation is to use an UDT and create one of those for each value on the array.
UDTs (User Defined Types), also referred to as Complex Tags, offer the ability to leverage object-oriented data design principles in Ignition. UDTs are extremely important in Ignition. With UDTs, you can dramatically reduce the amount of work...
