15.7 RemoteAlarmServer
The alarm server in the iX Developer project can operate as a stand-alone alarm
server, processing alarms and showing these in the A larm Viewer and alarm
indicator. Alternatively, the alarm server can distribute alarms to clients. Each
alarm server can function a s alarm server and/or alarm client. The remote alarm
server functionality is set up via properties.
15.7.1 RemoteAlarmServerLimitations
Most functions work exactly the same regardless if a local or remote alarm server
is used, but there are a few limitations:
• In projects where multiple languages are used, switching language in the
alarm server results in using the current language for all new alarm texts.
Alarms distributed before the language was switched in the server will remain
in the previous language in the client.
• PressingtheInfobuttonintheAlarmViewerinruntimedoesnotresultinany
actions for a remote alarm, unless the same project is used for the server and
the client. The script event AlarmInfoRequested can be used instead.
• Unless the same project is used for the server and the client, filtering (pressing
the Filter button in the alarm viewer) can only be made in runtime for remote
alarms, since the remote server may include e.g. alarm groups that are
different from the project in which the alarm viewer was configured.
