Waseem, You can set up a CALCA block which using the SUB command compares the value every 10 minutes and if the value hasn't changed, trigger a binary output. Tie this output to a CIN block which you will setup to alarm. You should also consider including a deadband into your calculation so that the value needs to change by a certain delta for it to be considered a true value change.
