Operator messages are not creating events
Our 800Xa system version 5.1 rev D has over 20 Contollers consisting of countless Control Modules. Within these control modules nearly all of them contain the "Prompt" module from the PCEquipmentLib to allow the program to alert the operator of a message that they need to acknowledge to allow the program to continue. The issue is, I have 1 control module that does not create an event or an alarm to alert the operator. The message will appear on the graphic and they can acknowledge it but they must be on that graphic at that time. These prompts are set up exactly as the many others we have in the system. I have checked Alarm Hiding and that is not the issue. Can anyone shed any light on what I may be missing? I need these prompts to be events and alarms just as the others are in the system

Is the name of the Control Module that is not generating events unique? If not I believe it will not generate events.

Google AKS for "Alarm Conditions"

This CBM feature can tell if your alarm block is faulty (wrong parameter).
Also the block itself contain an error code (if exposed to outside) that will tell if name is too long, not unique, etc.
Also, at download, any alarm block with bad parameters will result in a system condition event in the System Event List.
With "Prompt" modules this is usually because you have 2 OperatorPrompt modules with the same name.
