Main Program Structure
It is recommended to create one section for each Alarm object in the Structural
View:

Alarm
Section

Figure 1 Alarm Object- Structural View

Afterwards attached the section to the Functional Section parent section (group or
route):

PLC Program Alarm

Variable Definitions
One tag of the type “ACESYS_ALARM_FACEPLATE” has to be created for each
Alarm object:

Figure 4 Alarm Faceplate Tag

This tag contains information to/from ECS. Address definition is required for data
exchange with ECS. For further information about address see chapter Introduction
section Memory Allocation.

 PLC Program
Below is shown programming example for one Alarm:

Figure 5 PLC Program Examples

The following steps have to be done after inserting of the ACESYS_ALARM

function block and basic input pins are linked:
1. Link the variable for faceplate parameters
2. Link the token variable from parent object (group or route)
3. Link the Machine Status Word (MSW) variable. The index has to be
unique for each Alarm function block

 Alarm B-point Addresses
The following snapshots illustrate the Modicon address configuration in ECS. The
addresses refer to the memory layout suggested in chapter Introduction section
Memory Allocation:
Unit = 1:

Register = 3399 + Unit * 2

Register = 7686 + Unit * 15

Figure 6 Alarm Address Configuration Unit no. 1

Unit = 6:

Register = 3399 + Unit * 2

Register = 7686 + Unit * 15
