Expand the Alarms folder.

2.

Double-click Alarm Setup.

The Alarm Setup dialog box opens.

3.

Click the Triggers tab.

4.

Select any unused alarm trigger tags
from the Select trigger organizer.

Unused trigger tags are any
associated devices not configured in
your RSLogix 5000 project.

For the CNC Work Cell application
example, these alarm triggers are
used:

SaveIOAlarmTrigger

ModuleAlarmTrigger

CNCAlarmTrigger

CIPMotionAlarmTrigger

Click Remove.

6.

Repeat

step 4

and

step 5

for all unused trigger tags.

IMPORTANT Deleting unused alarm triggers is optional and applies only if you have imported the Alarm Setup File in the last section.

TIP

Deleting the alarm triggers for hardware devices not used in your application may improve performance of your
PanelView Plus terminal communication.

IMPORTANT These steps must be completed if a machine module is not used in your RSLogix 5000 project.
