Question:
How can I set up an alarm to be triggered when the communication between the Elipse E3 and a PLC is offline?
Solution:
There are two different ways to do so:
- When the PLC can inform the communication status (via memory, bit, Word, etc), you can read this information via an I/O Tag; or
- You can use the IOKit‘s tags and monitor their values according to the Elipse IOKit’s Manual.
After that, you must create a digital alarm pointing to the previously created tag and perform the necessary settings.
