I'm programming an analog alarm and I think there are 2 ways to do this. I can use the CMP block and turn a relay on if the value goes LT or GT a setpoint or I can acually configure an alarm using the 128 alarms available within Tisoft. I know that the analog alarm programming allows for deadband, multiple alarms, deviation alarms, etc but if all I want to do is notify the HMI that an alarm has occured, why can't I just do that with the coil from the CMP block? Just wondering if it is possible. Thanks!
