dqw, this can be done by use of an on timer and a pushbutton. First, go to object >> create. Expand the control folder and select "delay on". For the on/off signal, use the unacked data member of the alarm area you wish to auto acknowledge. There is also an unacked data member that covers all alarm areas. For the timer delay you can enter what ever time best suits you, I used 0:05 (5 sec). Now, go to object >> create. Expand the control folder again, select "push button". Select remote control, and enter the .ack data member for the same alarm area you used for the timer. Once you are done, you must go to the object explorer, find your push button, right click it and choose edit connections. Select the "value" data mamber and connect it to the implicit data mamber
of the timer.
Now, once an unacknowledged alarm comes in, it will activate the timer. After your set delay the push button will be triggered and acknowledge the alarm.
You could also integrate a second locally controlled push button as a second condition for the timer, this would allow for you to enable or disable the auto-acknowledge.
Lastly, on a personal note, an alarm means something is wrong and needs attention. Perhaps if it can be auto-acknowledged, it maybe should not be an alarm, but an event.
Hope this helps.
