Label with UserAlarmViewer messages

3 posts in this topic

Has anyone found a way to put the UserAlarmViewer messages into a Label? I use 3 different alarm levels and would like to have a single line alarm banner. In NJ, I use an Array of Bool for triggers.

In Siemens, I made a message banner that cycles through each message every 3 seconds from a text file and displays the string in a label. Logic is much different in Omron so rewriting is not possible, nor does Omron use VBA.

Omron NA5 uses VB.NET. From the HMI section, goto Help > Instruction Reference. The UserAlarmViewer is configurable. You can decrease the size of the header so you don't see it. You can also remove columns.

There is no tool in the NA that offers a scrolling or cycling alarm message.  The Alarm Viewer object won't do what you are looking for.

Take a look at the Direct Text settings on a label.  You can enter the name of the resource to display as a string of text, so maybe you can work with that in some logic.
