I am not able to find a tag or way to determine from the number of alarms on the C-MORE. I would like to popup an alarm Screen button if there are active alarms. Any idea on how to do this?

Have not tried this, but there is a tag copy function in the event manager for the alarms.
After setting up an alarm in the Event Manager, in the Event Edit screen, bottom tab of Tag Copy, Source Tag to Destination Tag.
Maybe have a source tag that equals 1 as a constant, copy it to a second destination tag.
When that destination tag in the PLC = 1 then add 1 to a TotalAlarm tag and then make the destination tag zero.
Using a button to clear the alarms, zero out the TotalAlarm tag at the same time.
If the TotalAlarm tag is> 0, then there is at least one alarm.
