Object: Remote Alarms

The object manages the remote alarm classes and groups.

For alarm management, this means that monitoring and alarm triggering is done on the remote PLCs. The local alarm management communicates with the remote PLCs via a data source management (over a proxy server) and therefore recognizes the remote alarms. Then a visualization that is connected to the local alarm management can display remote alarms. The user can operate and acknowledge the alarms.
