This is mainly because of your alarm definition is failed due to invalid paramters on AlarmCond (for example, invalid name on Source or condition name). Check whether the string is either empty ('') or not having unique name in the network. For more details check AlarmCond module on online help.

Try first with 'Name' parameter giving a unique name, no space in it. As space is considered invalid for string name. I hope, it should work for you. If not, then try giving unique names for condition names if you are using multiple SDInReal blocks in your project with default condition names.

then probably, you have not connected parameter to a variable. Please connect the Name parameter to a variable and assign it with an unique value.

Further to skhpatnaik's most valuable input I would like to just mention the Alarm Conditions feature of CBM.

When online with application, right click any object known to have an alarm and select Alarm Conditions and view their "State".

Status / Description (which depend a bit on the choice of Acknowledgement Rule, AckRule=1 is shown below):

0 = AlarmCond module not activated in PLC code, or activated with a bad parameter, e.g. too long or not unique SrcName,Condition pair

1 = disabled

2 = inactive, acknowledged, enabled (Idle state)

3 = inactive, unacknowledged, enabled

4 = active, acknowledged, enabled

5 = active, unacknowledged, enabled

6 = autodisabled, unacknowledged, enabled
