Hello, I have a EA9 panel. I want to trigger an external annunciation device (buzzer) if there are any unconfirmed alarms in the alarm list, but have the buzzer stop once the alarms have been confirmed. This seems like it would be fairly straight forward, but I'm having trouble exporting alarm information from the C-more. Is there a way to get the number of unconfirmed alarms into a tag, or something I can extract to a PLC (that controls the buzzer)? Or, at the very least, a discrete tag that becomes true in the event there are unconfirmed alarms? Thanks, -FF

You can add a PLC tag in the PLC to Panel>Beep ON/OFF so that your PLC can control the beep.
There are no tags associated with alarm confirmation at this time though.
