Matt,
Not sure if this is an option for you, but you can create a display that
have only the specific Block you want to acknowledge and then add a code to
the display (dmcmd) to ACK the Block every time the display is called. Then
you just need to add the display in your Annunciator keyboard. Then the
Annunc Key will work as an Pushbutton. Remember to add a code to auto-close
the display after ACK the block.
I did not try that, but in theory I guess it works.

Matt,
Re: Is there a simple way to use a physical input from an external
pushbutton to acknowledge a specific alarm?
To actually acknowledge the alarm, you have to reset (drive to FALSE)
the parameter UNACK of the target block. This requires a one-shot set to
the UNACK parameter.
The only ways to generate a reset of the UNACK parameter on a physical
contact change are:
1) Use an IND block to monitor the contact (WAITUNTIL) and the reset
UNACK (:C:B.P := FALSE)
2) Use a script to monitor the contact and reset the UNACK - very
inefficient.
3) Write a program to do it - double heaps of uck!
Hope this helps.

Subject: [foxboro] External Pushbutton for acknowledge
Is there a simple way to use a physical input from an external
pushbutton to acknowledge a specific alarm? I know a script could do it,
or even a simple sequence block, but for one pushbutton and one block I
was hoping to avoid those two routes.
Any help is appreciated.
