    Hi,

    I have encounter an issue when trying to custom some events. For instance, if I’m recording an event of an emergency stop, ON should be the “alarm” condition, wich is usually associated with red color, instead of green, as it is shown on the events table. Is there some way to change that for a particular event?

    Also, is there a way of recording only one condition of the event?

    Thanks in advanced.

    Hi,

    Event color depends on status color of the input channel. I mean you should change colors of Off-On values.
    Create your own record in the Units table, for example,
    Normal; Alarm; –
    And use formulas for setting the status of the input channel:
    Cnl; Cnl > 0 ? 114 : 13

    Currently no. Some modifications should be done to implement it.

    I’m sorry to bother you again, but it doesn’t seem to be working with Discrete type (On-Off) and I can’t change the type, as it is a DI in MODBUS. The only way I can think is to make a calculated signal. Is that the only soultion?

    P.S.: I was refering to this table view:

    Please provide a screenshot of your configuration related to this issue.

    Mikhail,

    Once again, thank you. I was making something wrong with the formulas. The working formula is:

    Cnl; (Cnl == 1.0) ? SetStat(1026, 15) : SetStat(1026, 11)

    Still, colors in the events table (the one located below the view, with date and time) are shown like the screenshot above: red for OFF, green for ON, wich is the opposite of what I need for the Emergency Stop case.

    Hi Mikhail,

    I’m not sure what’s the screenshot you’re asking for. What configuration are you refering to?

    OK. I’m sorry I wasn’t clear. I solved that issue. Even thou, here’s the screenshot:

    I’m still struggling with colors on the Events table. I don’t know if there is anything I can do at all or if it’s an implementation matter, and is that way.

    Thank you for the images.
    You need to open the Units table in Administrator. And create a new row with a new unit. Do at as written above. Then set the new unit for your input channel.

    Mikhail,

    I’m sorry. I missread your answer. I don’t know why I thought I had to change events, instead of units.

    That’s working like a charm.

    Thanks again!

    May I ask you about the forum, do you receive notifications when I answer in the topic? Do they work well?
