Anyone ever used OPC Alarm & Events to bring alarm information to Thingworx ?

How can this be done ?

Purpose is centralizing alarms from different SCADA systems (all being OPC A&E server) into one central platform, Thingworx.

Can the OPC Alarm & Event information being logged into Thingworx ?

First word of caution. Thingworx is not a real-time system and it should not be used for that purpose.

As far as sending the data to Thingworx, we need those Alarm information as OPC tags. Once it is available as tag, we can send it Thingworx and create alerts/logics. In Kepware, you can use Advanced tags to build those custom tags based of tag values coming from machines.

 

I hope this helps.
