Alarm conditions on Each Function Block can't be Activated?
Dear Expert,
I've been struggling to configure the alarm on 800xa System. System using 800xa Ver 6.0.2, controller using PM862, operating system using windows 10, system architecture just use 2 pc, 1 for EWS act as Engineering workstation, Aspect Server and Connectivity Server, second PC use for Operator works station. We already configure the Alarm Manager, Even Collector and also message server and all object in service condition, I attach as reference. Strange thing is, one 1 function block can be generate alarm, the other are can't ( we use PP library) . We also already check alarm condition on control builder, we found that on function block alarm conditions is disable, even though we already toggle it using faceplate and interaction windows, i attach reference for detailed. Why alarm condition is not activated ?Please give advise for this kind of problem?
