May I also humbly suggest the use of a MON block in conjunction with an IND
block.
In this solution the MON block monitors the alarm condition and activates
the IND block upon detection of it. The IND block calls up the display.
Advantages:
MON block continuously runs continuously instead of looping IND block
(better use of processing cycle and memory)
Activation of IND block can be done in an "one-time-only" manner by means of
the ACTCASES statement. (i.e. instead of continuously calling up the display
on the screen on every scan the alarm condition is true, which can be
terribly aggravating, you can call-up the display once then deactivate
monitoring until the condition returns false at which time monitoring is
again activated.)

Disadvantages:
Use of 2 blocks
Activation and deactivation of monitoring must be carefully designed.

To expand on the previous answer, look at HH 674

The command is:

:WPNAMEDMCMD :=3D "dmcmd /usr/disp/d1";

to make the display called "d1" show up on the WP called WPNAME.
