Alarm Messages on NT20

[Guest Alan Dance]

can any body help I need to add a new alarm message to a NT20 HMI. There is already Alarm messages setup in the software but I am not sure how to add a new 1 on the NT20 and in the PLC (CPM1).

First of all, Alan, how about registering so we can send you some email? Second, you need to provide us with a little more info: 1. We need to know the full part number for the NT20. Is it NT20M? Is it NT20M-LB? Is it NT20S? 2. What software are you using? Is it DOS-based NTSS? Is it Windows Based NTST? 3. Is the alarm message a whole page? Or is it just a single line on a page? Send us some details.

OK: 1. Open NTST 2. Open your file. 3. Choose a new screen - note the number of the screen. 4. Choose the Text Tool - (Icon with large A) 5. Click to the screen. 6. Type in Text for Alarm message. 7. Click OK 8. Under Tools|PT Configuration|Control/Notify Area, note the area of memory in the PLC which is the PT Control Area. 9. Click OK. 10. Load the file to the screen. 11. Add a line to your ladder program that looks like this: |   Alarm Bit |-----|  |---------------------------------[  MOV  ]----| |                                                    [ #0001] |                                                    [ H0000] Where #0001 represents the number of your new screen and H0000 represents the PT Control Area.
