Securing access to FactoryTalk alarm information
For FactoryTalk products like FactoryTalk View SE, the FactoryTalk Directory stores
information about which users are allowed access to the parts of a control system.
You can secure access to alarms, and to alarm information in an application, by
determining which users are allowed to perform alarm-related actions, or gain access to
areas that contain alarm servers.
About FactoryTalk Security permissions
If FactoryTalk Security services are used to secure parts of an application, to perform
certain tasks, users must have the necessary security permissions.
For example, to create or modify the properties of an application, you must at least be
allowed the Common actions Read, List Children, Write, and Create Children, at the
FactoryTalk Directory that manages the application.
If you receive a FactoryTalk Security message while trying to perform such a task, contact
your system administrator about permissions you might require.
For information about permission required to perform tasks specific to FactoryTalk
Alarms and Events, see the FactoryTalk Alarms and Events Help.
For an overview of FactoryTalk Security services, see Chapter 5, Setting up security. For
details, see the FactoryTalk Security Help.
Working with Rockwell Automation Device Servers
To enable FactoryTalk View SE Clients to receive and display FactoryTalk alarms
detected in Logix5000 controllers, do the following:
1. Add one or more Rockwell Automation Device Servers (RSLinx Enterprise) to a
FactoryTalk View SE network distributed application.
In a local station application, you can only add one RSLinx Enterprise server, which
must reside on the same computer as the application.
2. Set up the device server to support FactoryTalk Alarms and Events.
3. Create shortcuts in RSLinx Enterprise, to the Logix5000 controllers that are detecting
alarms, and enable the device shortcuts to support FactoryTalk Alarms and Events.
This manual does not contain information about how to use RSLogix 5000, to program alarm
instructions into Logix5000 controllers, nor does it describe how to set up redundancy for these
controllers. For details, see the product documentation.
