I am wondering if it possible to configure an alarm message string dynamically.
What I mean by this is in the alarm configuration, I want to have the message display a string from a text list dynamically at runtime.
Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Cheers,
Louis.

I don't know, if there is a way directly in the alarmmanager. I would solve it with a short piece of program, like this:
VAR  asMessageText:    ARRAY[0..8]OFSTRING:=['No Message', 'Message 1', 'Message 2',                        'Message 3', 'Message 4', 'Message 5',                        'Message 6', 'Message 7', 'Message 8'];  sAlarmMessage:    STRING;END_VARIFbyPowerPackEStopDiag<>0THEN  sAlarmMessage:=asMessageText[byPowerPackEStopDiag];END_IF
In the Alarmconfiguration you can use <latch1> as a placeholder for the text:</latch1>
Maybe this helps?
Good luck

Thanks for the reply,
Yes I ended up doing this (something very similar), In theory it should work fine as the documentation says you can define a STRING as a latch variable. I tried it in the simulation but it would not display the STRING value. I also tried a unicode WSTRING with no success. I will try this method once I have some hardware in front of me to try it on.
Thanks for your help.

Dear poster,
I tried the of the dynamic string alarm texts via <latch1> and it works wonderful in v3.5.11.50 based hardware.</latch1>
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Hermsen,
Much appreciated!
