Show set point values or any datapoint value in alert_text

Post by ketxu »

Is it possible obtain the value of any of the datapoint in the alert_text of any alarm? The idea is obtain the value dinamically. If there is any change in the value of the datapoint, the alert_text could be able to change it. In the classic WinCC it was a specific format to show it. Have we got any possibility to show it in the WinCCOA?

Hello,

normally the alert text is a fixed string. Changing the text is only possible if the _alert_hdl config is deactivated.
When using the WinCC OA Alert Screen you have one column where the text an another one where the value is displayed. Therefore the user can see the requested information in one view and there is no need to modify the text.

I think the S7 driver can do the same as WinCC classic with S7 alarms. You should check the online help -> Drivers -> S7 -> Configuration of the S7 driver -> S7 Alarms.
