RSView32 Alarm Suppression on Startup

2 posts in this topic

Every time my rsview32 project starts up all the alarms which are set up to alarm on 0 tag value show up on the screen even though the bit in the PLC is not in alarm condition.

I believe this is because the communication between RSView32 and PLCs is not established yet and the tags are seen as having value of 0 in the HMI.

Is there a way to disable or suppress these tags at startup to give enough time for the RSView to update the values so the false alarms are not being displayed?

Been a while since I worked on RSView 32, but in the manual for setting up tags it has the option of initial value.  If you set the initial value to non-zero that should prevent faulting and then when it reads you'll get actual state and it will fault if is needs to.

I was reading page 4-5 here {https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/vw32-um001_-en-e.pdf}
