PDIAG alarms with dynamic text

PDIAG alarms with dynamic text

Hello,
I hope that you can help me in the following matter.

We were requested by our customer to modify the existing Zenon project (v6.51). The modification includes the alarm display with dynamically changing text. Currently alarms are generated in PDIAG (s7-300 Siemens PLC) and all texts are static.

In Zenon we receive alarms using Driver S7 TCP-IP, the driver object type is Alarm-S message, each alarm is declared as ALARM_S_Meldung_A

I found that I can modify the PDIAG alarm definition in the PLC and add “Associated value”. Below you can find the definition from the PDIAG manual.

Is Zenon capable of displaying associated values?
