Hi everyone.

I was wondering how to annunciate machine faults from a Simatic 216 to a TP270 HMI. I am writing the ladder with Micro-win, and the screen is written with Protool.

I'd like to have one text box on the main screen of the HMI to list machine fault and alarm conditions. I am familiar with doing this in S7 300/400 platform using message numbers. From the investigation that I have done, I don't see this option with the 200 series / micro-win.

Any info or reference material is greatly appreciated!
