Note: The CIMPLICITY OPC
Alarm and Event Server and Client are most commonly used to send
data to and receive data from non-CIMPLICITY OPC Alarm and Event
Clients and Servers.

Server requests data from the Alarm Managers in all connected source projects. |
|

|

|

Clients display the data in the Alarm Viewer and notify the server if alarms are acknowledged.. |
|
6 |

|
