3.
In the “Alarm class” column you assign an alarm class to the PLC alarm, e.g. AlarmClass.
4.
In the “Acknowledgement” column you specify whether the message requires
acknowledgement or not. In this example, the “Acknowledgement” option is deactivated.
Therefore, the messages do not require acknowledgement.

Display PLC alarm at the SIMATIC Panel
An alarm view is required to display the configured PLC alarms at the SIMATIC
Panel. In this example, the alarm view is located in the “State of the outputs of the
SITOP PSE200U” screen.
To display the messages of the “AlarmClass” alarm class in the alarm view activate
the configured alarm class “AlarmClass” in “Properties > Properties > General”.
