Hi,
I need some help setting new alarms in a KRC4. Anyone with the procedure or something like a manual?
I need the Smartpad to display the alarm when a vacuum pump is not working.

you need to write message. on KRC4 you can use message library and do something like
if $in[20]==false then
MsgNotify("Pump is not working!")
endif
Check Parts and Docs disc. There is expert documentation about message programming (the long and hard way). Message library makes this much easier but it does not give you all bells and whistles.
Note that #notify type message can be cleared by user. If you want to keep the message displayed regardless what operator does, use #state message (then only your program can remove message). The downside is that message buffer only handles some 100 messages. To get unlimited messages (not handled by buffer), use #notify.
The MsgLib module in the /SYSTEM directory contains a large number of "helper" functions for posting messages. You can experiment with them a bit, as Panic indicated.
