This control element realizes an alarm display. It can assume the three states no alarm, alarm pending and alarm was pending. In addition, a counter for the number of alarms is included as well as a function for resetting the alarm. Clicking on the control element shows a popup dialog for resetting.

The alarm counter is a function block that runs in the background as a program, see function block Alarm display; this control element is used to display the state and to reset the counter or the alarm. For this, the control element must be connected to the function block. To do this, first create the function block, set up the connected variables, then right-click on the control element and select the function block from the menu.The variables that are connected at the function block are thereby automatically also connected at the control element.
