Delayed alarm

[HIAJHI]

Hi,

what would be the best way to create delayed alarms (alarm bit sets if input is triggered an set for 30sec)?
I tried to use a script setTimeout/clearTimeout but could not get it run...

Thanks,

Will dead-band for Time Delay solve your problem? Choose Deadband type: Time Delay for 30 seconds.

Hi,

deadband/time delay does not solve it when I want to forward the alarm to a PLC. Or is there a way to get the alarm status and write it into a virtual tag?

Hi,

Each alarm entry will have its status tag in build 3.71.4220, for instance, an entry of "abc" will produce a system tag called "app.alarm.GroupName.abc.status". It's not shown in watch list but you can use it in your script.

Be warned that this is not officially supported yet. As it's in trial stage, and the naming format may be changed to "app.alarm[GroupName.AlarmName].status" in the next release.

That would be exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks
