Alarm Viewer function
The alarm viewer is a ready to use, password-protected function. It is used to
process alarms (display, acknowledgement and deletion) managed at PLC level by
the system or using diagnostic function blocks known as DFBs (system-specific
diagnostic function blocks and application-specific diagnostic function blocks
created by the user).
These alarms are stored in the PLC diagnostics buffer (specific memory area used to
store all diagnostic events). This function is available with the Modicon Premium
platforms (with PL7 or Unity software) and the Modicon Quantum platform (with
Unity software).
The diagnostic viewer is a Web page comprising a list of messages, which displays
the following information for each alarm:
b
Dates and times of the appearance/disappearance of the fault
b
Alarm message
b
Alarm status

Type of associated diagnostic function block (DFB)
