Issue:
Using extracted bits from an integer in the Alarm group
Product Line:

Resolution:
No, not directly. As shown below, bits from a %MWi are not supported as the device address of a variable.
You can indirectly use the bits of an integer in scripting to write the values to an array of 16 bools. First, create your INT variable that you would like to extract the bits from. Also create an array of 16 bools. The array can be an internal variable or external. Internal is used in this example
Next, create a script and enter the following
In the Script above you can use the extracted bits from the Integer variable directly. For example Var3.X(0) is bit 0 of variable Var3. The bit is then written to the first bit of the Bool array Var1[0] using the "write" function. Example shown above "var1[0].write(Var3.X(0)); ". You would do this for all 16 bits.
In the alarm group you can use the bool array variables
