To enable alarm and event history logging on the computer running the device server,
select the check box, Enable history.
If you enable logging, you must specify a database definition for the server. For more
information, see “Setting up alarm and event history logging” on page 12-31.
Optionally, you can set up server-assigned priority values for the alarm server. To modify
the severity range, change values in the Low boxes only. Priorities defined at an alarm
server override the system-wide settings held at the FactoryTalk Directory.
Specifying a device-based alarm source
In RSLinx Enterprise, in the Communication Setup editor, create shortcuts to device-
based alarm sources in an application. Then, enable the shortcuts to support FactoryTalk
Alarms and Events.
To enable alarm and
event support for this
device server, select
this check box.
Once you enable alarm
and event support,
you can set up server-
assigned priorities, and
enable alarm and event
history logging on the
server’s host computer.
To enable history
logging, select this
check box, and then
select an existing
database definition.
