Is there any way to get rid of blank alarm banners on FactoryTalk View Studio? When a fault or alarm occurs and goes away before the alarm banner is closed it remains on the HMI with no text, just blank. Is there a way to automatically close the banner if the fault that triggered the banner is no longer active, without sealing in the fault until it is acknowledged? |

You could do a visibility animation, and let a bit in the PLC make it disappear. |

There's a couple of controls in the Global Connections you can use for doing that. They're in the Display tab. One is called "Close All On Top Displays" and the other is "Close All On Top Displays". Unless you have multiple pop-up windows (On Top Displays) that you want to keep open, then the second is the easiest. Create a bit in your program that indicates when you have no active alarms, then use that bit in the Global Connections. There is more info in the help files. |

I also discovered in the alarm setup there is a configuration tag for "Remote Close Display" and this worked for me to close the alarm banner. Goto Alarm Setup > Advanced Tab. In the Optional Connections Grid add a connection to close the alarm banner popup. I have seen this option, but is there any way to close an alarm banner that popped up because of an alarm that is no longer active, but while there are other active alarms?
