PLC System Alarms Using S7 Plus driver

Post by RKoczan »

I have a TIA export file and have configured a S7Plus driver to connect to it.

When configuring a DPE setting the "Receive Mode" to "Alarm" will list the system alarms when the Symbolic Selection is pressed.
The option is there to "Receive All System Alarms" by selecting @SystemErrors@.

If @SystemErrors@ is selected how is it used?
What datatype must the DPE be to have this as the symbolic address?
What must be done to display the alarms ?

Any help is appreciated, thank you

Since multi-instance alarms do not depend on the original value, the datatype does not really matter.
The system alarms should be displayed just like any other alert, so there is nothing special to do.
