FactoryTalk Alarm Messages

5 posts in this topic

Hello Everyone,

I have the .mer files for an HMI application that was developed in FactoryTalk V8.0. I have V10.0 installed, I restored the .mer file and did some development ( added screens , objects and alarm messages). Then I created a V8.0 application file. Everything is ok except for the Alarm Messages. I changed an existing message but when i trigger that alarm I get the old one ( the message before I modified it) 

Any ideas?? 

Like always, thank you

This may seem stupid...but...

Try rebooting your PC and re-compiling the .mer file. I've had multiple glitches with stuff like this that were fixed with a simple reboot and recompile.

Thank you Joe. I tried resetting the VM ( I am running FT on a VM) and rebooted my host machine but still same problem.

It turns out that I forgot to add the messages in the Local Messages folder  :shrug:.   I guess I need more sleep.
