FAQ: How can I set an alarm on a single bit of a e.g. DINT zenon variable?

There are some possibilities. One would be to use our integrated solution zenon Logic Service to divide a WORD or INT variable. Create a BOOL for every Bit in that WORD or INT and set the alarms.

Another option would be defining a dedicated BOOL variable which needs the address information of that WORD in the Offset and within the parameter “Bit number” you are be able to target a specific Bit of it. This will work with all address based drivers, but not with name space based drivers such as OPC UA.
