Hi guys,

A quick simple one; is there any way to retrigger an alarm through the alarm pipeline if it’s sat active for a certain amount of time and not been cleared? We monitor a bunch of remote sites and rely on dial-out email alarm notifications to alert us when there is a fault, sometimes guys are missing the single alarm instance and it gets overlooked for large periods. Hoping there’s a simple way to say if an alarm is active for an hour and unacknowledged, retrigger email alarm notification.

I can alternatively do the same thing in the PLC, but it means amending the logic in about 30 different PLCs.

Thanks

I think what you want is done similar to an escalation pipeline, with a second notification block with a delay before it.

You can also set a delay then loop back to the original notification block.

Perfect, I’ll look into both of those options.  
Thankyou!
