DSC Alarm Setup - what went wrong?

[PierreN]

I have a DSC application reading +- 1100 NI OPC tags into SVE from four different PLC's.  While I do engineering I move the application between two PC's depending on which one is avalable at the time to do engineering.   The Citadel database has the same name and location on the PC harddrives, etc.  On the first setup iteration all the analog and binary alarms was operational.  Somewhere along the line I lost the alarming operation in that none is presented to Alarm and Event display on the front panel or in the DB.  Apart form the basic setup, is there any suggestion to maybe reset values, recreate DB (hopefully not), etc?

Regards,

Do none of the variables trigger alarms anymore? Does this occur on both PCs? I assume you have checked that the variable value is in the alarm's range? What happens when you create a new variable for your OPC tag and enabe alarming? What version of LabVIEW DSC are you using?

Thanks,

Hi Anna,

I'm using LV2009 and the latest DSC version.  I have created new tags to test, simulated values to go into alarm, etc but to no avail.  I have removed all from logging/alarming, deployed, put some back into logging/alarming, re-deployed, put all back to alarming, re-deployed and still no response.

It happens on both PC's. Any suggestions?
