Hi,

Associate Out.Value to a AlarmCond function block (AlarmEventLib). Connect Out.Value to Signal parameter of AlarmCond and give the proper source names and condition names. Please Note that, the Source name and condition names shoyld be given unique in the network. This will solve the purpose. For more details, check AlarmCond usage from online help.

Yes, you need to have event collector service up.
- Default you will see two services in service structure >> Event Collector. They are for Soft and system alarm. For process alarm (in your case), Add one more service group and service provider in it.
- After adding Service provider, do remember to add the service node.
- in special configuration of Service Group, select Alarm Server as OPC AE Server for AC800M.
- Hope, you have OPC service is running as well. Check OPC_DA connector.
Please go through Operator Workplace Configuration user mnanual, it will be helpful.

Search AKS for "Alarm Conditions" - use this feature of CBM to verify correct settings in controller application. State 0 indicate error in settings in project. 2 mean idle alarm. 3+ different state of alarm.

And please stay off substituting real controller alarm with "fake" alarm expression in 800xA's HMI. Real alarms are much more reliable than "soft" ones.
