FactoryTalk Alarms and Events Logix-based Instructions (ALMD, ALMA) Chapter 1
Description: The ALMD instruction detects alarms based on Boolean (true/false) conditions.
The ALMD instruction provides additional functionality when used with
RSLinx Enterprise and FactoryTalk View SE software. You can display alarms in
the Alarm Summary, Alarm Banner, Alarm Status Explorer, and Alarm Log
Viewer displays in FactoryTalk View SE software.
RSLinx Enterprise software subscribes to alarms in the controller. Use the output
parameters to monitor the instruction to see the alarm subscription status and to
display alarm status changes. If a connection to RSLinx Enterprise software is
lost, the controller can briefly buffer alarm data until the connection is restored.
