Hi all,

I am reading alarms from several ML1400 PLCs on a massive site. I would like to have each PLC represented in a group with a border below each other on the dashboard so that the alarms are reflected by a UI-LED node. The groups align horizontally and I would prefer vertically. Each PLC is an area of the site.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Hi @DrdP. An option could be, in the layout option you could set the width according to your HMI or Panel, this will make the groups align horizontally. But sure there must be a better option.

Hi @MecatronicaMADE,

Thanks for the reply but I want them do be stacked below one another vertically as I am hosting them on an external website. So area 1 7wide with a border and alarm status. then below that area two in its own border and so on.

Thank you
