4.6 FB “HMI EVENT” for the message output
Function
The “HMI EVENT” FB manages the incoming operational messages and fault
messages and checks the acknowledgement of fault messages.
If a fault message exists, it is output at the display as it was created by you by
using the configuration interface. Operational messages are not output directly, but
are just displayed in the message level.
Operational and fault messages are entered in the event buffer.
The FB “HMI API” has to be called cyclically or time-controlled in your program.
Generation
In SIMATIC Manager, open the “C7 613” library and copy the “HMI EVENT” FB to
the block container of your project.
