There really not so much fuzz about making an alarm in ST

1. Connect the AlarmEventLib

2. Add a AlarmCond(M) function block, named e.g A1

3. As you type the A1 name + left parenthesis in ST the variable connection window pops up

4. Copy & declare at least the declaration of Signal, SrcName, CondName and Message

5. Set these up with correct values (see previous post - you need to know what an Alarm Owner is - read up about that in the user's guides)

6. Download

7. Trigger the signal to go from false --> true

8. Observe an alarm...

9. For diagnostics, add variables for CondState and Status (the latter will get some error code if you haven't fulfilled the requirements, e.g. too long SrcName/Condition, etc.)
