Example: Internally Generated DM1 Diagnostic Messages

This example demonstrates how to display internally generated fault messages  using the standard DM1 pop-up messaging system and System Events and Variables. 

To start with the DM1 pop-up messaging system is exported from the standard PV780 template config then imported into this example configuration. Instructions are in the notes of the configuration.

NOTE: When exporting then importing Configuration Components any actions associated with a SYSTEM EVENT or a System Variables "Fire on Change" will not be passed on and must be recreated manually. It is always a good idea to browse through any system events and variables that may be associated with the task at hand to capture any actions that may need to be recreated manually as is in the case of the DM1 pop-up messaging.

For the internal DM1 messaging example a variable is monitored by a Activity Program to see if minimum or maximum limits are exceeded. If they are then the appropriate Internal DM1 variables are set and Events fired. See the notes in the configuration for a step by step description of what is needed to to generate internal DM1 messages.

This configuration was created in 2.9.23044 for a PV780.
