One nice thing about the alarm manager is that you can create an alarm definition based on a parameter of a datatype. For example: A block of interlocks, with 32 conditions (DINT). You can create a generic definition for each generic bit, that way an individual alarm is created for each condition, not a single alarm for the whole block. You can even put a message attached to that bit's label. Now, this would be much better if it came ready-made for PlantPAx 5's P_INTERLOCKS blocks and didn't have to program that way for every bit.
@@ShaneWelcher You can still open the faceplate to see the firstout and configure a command on the alarms to open the faceplate. Or maybe there is a way to create an alarm definition based on the firstout, but then it would be difficult to get the message from the @label.

Yes however it's much harder to capture a first out fault

@@Guilherme-xe7fk I'm talking about the first out fault for the machine to let ops know what caused it to go down.
Not just a device block
