Yes, it's clear how it works on the PLC at runtime, I was referring to the editor, how to manage all the pop-up windows since they'll be placed over other HMI elements (at least in my case) and in the Unilogic editor that would cause some trouble in case the underneath HMI elements need to be accessed for editing. I have made a quick test and placing pop-ups on a dedicated layer seems to be a nice practice, if that layer is hidded then the "regular" HMI screen is all accessible for editing. Said so, this solution is a workaround for my initial quesion, I still hope that Unilogic staff will introduce native supporto for pop-ups one day... -

Correct. I place all the controls stacked on top of each other. By pressing the motor image (or the button or whatever you use to pop-up the control), reset all visibility tags and set the desired one. -
I see, thanks. So if I need to add a pop-up window on every motor on a synoptic screen I'll have to place all the custom controls on screen and associate tags for animation/logic. In this case, to avoid an over crowded HMI screen in the Unilogic editor what's the best strategy? Place all the pop-ups on a dedicated layer as suggested by @Joe Tauser to show/hide on necessity while editing the regular HMI elements?

Did you check the analog input type setting? make sure it is set to 0-10v and not 0-20mA -
In the alarm summary, the particular trigger that initiated the alarm is shown in the "Change" column. Myself, I don't find this particularly useful and would be inclined to create 4 separate alarms...two configured as warnings(Lo & Hi) with a lower severity/priority, and two with a higher severity/priority (HiHi & LoLo). This way you can have the alarm banner colour display change depending on the warning/alarm. To enable this, set the Banner Color Mode to "by highest severity". The colors can be defined in the "Severity Colors" collection. The alarm display name can also be unique to each alarm when configured this way.
