The TOP Server OPC Alarms & Events plug-in enables users to configure custom alarm and event conditions as close to the source of data as possible, the drivers you are already using in TOP Server. Third-party OPC AE Client applications can receive and monitor process alarms, operator actions, informational messages, and tracking/audit messages, along with Event Log information, directly from TOP Server’s standard OPC AE interface.
Users can monitor areas of processes that may require operator attention when a defined threshold his met, such as safety limits, event detection, and abnormal operations.
Creating alarms is as simple as browsing existing TOP Server tags and selecting the tag that will be used as the monitored item for the alarm source. After the tag source is chosen, Alarms & Events conditions and sub-conditions can be defined. When these conditions and sub-conditions are met, an alarm will be sent to any connected OPC AE Client. The OPC AE client application then handles providing the user with unique alarm input, output, and acknowledgement messages.
When you license this plug-in, it can then be used with any of your TOP Server drivers.
