Tag-based alarms

Use

Logix Designer

tag-based alarms to monitor a tag value to determine the alarm condition. Tag-based alarms monitor tag values to determine the alarm condition, but they are not part of the logic program and do not increase the scan time for a project.

Tag-based alarms are supported only on
