Alarms & event logging:
make the machine keep a diary.
When something trips at 3 a.m., a scrolling message helps no one. The TwinCAT EventLogger turns conditions into events that carry a severity, alarms with a lifecycle the operator can confirm, and a persisted audit trail. All of it shows up on the HMI and stays on record for the post-mortem. This track builds the whole chain, from raising an event to recording it.
Events & logging
📣 events vs alarms · 🔔 raise / confirm / clear lifecycle · 🏷️ severity & message classes.
Surface & record
🖥️ alarm controls on the HMI · 🗂️ the persisted audit trail: who, what and when.
This expands the Alarms & Event Logging idea from the platform track into a full module.
