Add a Tag Alarm and Event server

Tag Alarm and Event servers allow PLC, SLC 500, and third-party controllers communicating through OPC data servers to access alarm and event information without using HMI tags.
For complete information about using FactoryTalk alarms and events, see FactoryTalk Alarms and Events Help, or see
FactoryTalk Alarms and Events System Configuration Guide
 for an example that uses alarm expressions to animate the color of a box when the state of an alarm changes.
TIP:
When running a
FactoryTalk View
 Site Edition application within a Windows workgroup, all Windows users should have Windows Administrative rights assigned to them.
To add a Tag Alarm and Event server:
  1. In
    FactoryTalk View SE
    , in the Explorer window, right-click the application root or right-click an area name, and then click
    Add New Server
     >
    Tag Alarm and Event Server
    .
  2. In the
    Tag Alarm and Event Server Properties
     tabs, specify the required information for the server.
    TIP:
    Names for the following
    FactoryTalk View Studio
     components do not support extended ASCII characters or Unicode characters: applications, areas, HMI servers, data servers, HMI tags,
    FactoryTalk Linx
     shortcuts, and

     application files (. SED).
