Support of Field Diagnostic Alarms according FF-912 with NI-FBUS Configurator 3.2.3

[VolkerG]

I tried to monitor Field Diagnostic Alarms according FF-912 from  a FF H1 device with NI-FBUS Configurator 3.2.3 and the Alarm Monitor Utility.

Standard Block Alarms e.g. in case of a parameter change are monitored in the Alarm Monitor.

Field Diagnostic Alarms according FF-912 are not monitored.

Are Field Diagnostic Alarms according FF-912 supported by the NI-FBUS Configurator 3.2.3. or is something special to do to enable the monitoring.

If not, which tools or host systems are available to monitor such alarms ?

Alarm Monitor in NI-FBUS software does not Field Diagnostic Alarms. You can try using NI-FBUS C API nifWaitAlert2 to monitor such alarm. The detail description of the API can be found in NI-FBUS Hardware and Software User Manual Chapter 6.
