When should I use the new "Alarming 2" feature in Fupla and WebEditor?

FAQ #101690

 

The "Alarming 2" feature is available for conditional use for customers that absolutely need the new features listed below:

• Event handling
• Short and long alarm texts
• Alarm texts on 2 lines
• Alarm texts in short and detailled form
• Alarm help texts
• Alarms in groups and priorities
• "Alarming 2" isn't yet an automatic progress. There are some steps to be done by manually by the user.

You'll find a "User Quick-Guide", a Demo-Project and template files to startup your first project using these features. These files are stored in the folder "Alarming 2 documentation" at the place where you installed the WebEditor version 5.15.02.

i.e.: C:\Program Files\Saia-Burgess\PG5_20\Web Editor 5_15_02 

The minimum required versions are:

• PG5 2.0.210 and later (PG5 1.4 is not supported) 
• PCD firmware: 1.16.45
• FBox Library: 2.6.164
• S-WebEditor version: 5.15.02
• CE and XP MicroBrowser: min. 1.5.15.118
• VGA and SVGA MicroBrowser Panel: 1.18.28

Please also respect the PCD hardware dependency; a recent PCD3 firmware version that is required (see firmware download page). The "Alarming 2" feature is only supported on Saia PCD® COSinus PLCs (PCD1.M2, PCD2.M5, PCD3 but not on PCD2.M480).
