Alarm Types

Feature	Best for	Trigger/source
`报警显示`	Simple numeric limit warning on one displayed value.	Register value above/below configured limit.
`报警列表`	Standard active alarm list.	Bit/coil trigger, default rising-edge behavior.
`实时事件显示`	Current event stream and operator messages.	Bit/event trigger.
`历史事件显示`	Stored event records with time/confirmation data.	Bit/event trigger plus HMI internal storage.

Alarm Display

Use 报警显示 when one value needs a visual warning:

Place 报警显示.
Bind it to the value register.
Configure upper/lower limit checks.
Set display style and flashing behavior.
Use a separate alarm bit in PLC if the alarm also affects machine sequence.

Do not rely only on HMI display flashing for machine protection. PLC logic should own interlocks and safe stop behavior.

Alarm List

Use 报警列表 for a maintenance/operator alarm page.

Recommended PLC allocation:

Address range	Purpose
`M500~M599`	Active alarm bits.
`M600~M699`	Alarm acknowledge/reset commands.
`D500~D549`	Alarm detail values, if needed.

TouchWin alarm message setup:

Each alarm row maps to a trigger coil.
Message content can include static text, variable text, and numeric display.
The manual describes CSV import/export; address format examples include PLC.1.M[0] where PLC is the port, 1 is station, and M[0] is the object.

CSV use:

Prepare alarm rows in Excel.
Save as .CSV.
Import from the alarm-list message page.
Export after editing to keep a project-side backup.

Real-Time And Historical Events

Use real-time events for operator prompts and historical events for traceability.

Rules:

Define trigger edge carefully: rising edge and falling edge mean different event semantics.
Do not overuse historical storage for high-frequency signals.
For history storage, avoid automatic allocation when several charts/tables/events exist in the same project; manual allocation prevents data overlap.
Use HMI internal PSW/PFW storage intentionally and document the address range.

Recipes

Recipe concept: a recipe is a group of similar structured parameters stored and transferred together. TouchWin can download recipe data from HMI to PLC registers and upload PLC register values back into the HMI recipe database.

Typical use:

Item	Example
Recipe index	`PSW40` or a user-selected HMI register.
PLC target range	`D1000~D1019` process parameters.
Download command	HMI recipe download component writes selected recipe to PLC.
Upload command	HMI recipe upload component reads current PLC values into HMI recipe storage.

Workflow:

Define the PLC parameter block and units.
Reserve a continuous register range for the recipe.
Create recipe data in TouchWin.
Add 配方下载 for HMI-to-PLC transfer.
Add 配方上载 if operators need to save tuned PLC parameters back into recipes.
Add a PLC-side validation bit or checksum when bad recipe values could damage product/equipment.
Test with offline values first, then online simulation, then controlled machine test.

HMI Internal Objects

Common internal objects:

Object	Meaning
`PSB`	HMI internal bit object.
`PSW`	HMI internal word object.
`PFW`	HMI Flash/internal persistent word object.

Useful examples from the manual:

PSB14: communication shielding flag.
PSB15: communication failure flag.
PSB30: first scan after download.
PSB31: first scan after power-on.
PSW1: current screen number.
PSW40: recipe index.
PSW60~PSW73: communication success/failure/timeout/error counters for ports.
PFW20+: communication-port parameter storage.

Do not casually write internal PFW communication settings in a running project. Some settings need power cycle or can affect communication behavior.

Commissioning Checklist

Confirm HMI port/protocol/station settings.
Confirm alarm bit ranges and reset behavior in PLC.
Confirm alarm CSV import addresses use the correct port and station.
Confirm recipe register range does not overlap with live control/status registers.
Confirm HMI write permissions/passwords for recipe pages.
Confirm invalid recipe values are blocked by PLC range checks.
Confirm data storage features do not exceed HMI PFW/PSW capacity.
