Add a device server
In this section, you will create a Rockwell Automation device server (RSLinx
Enterprise) and then configure it to subscribe to alarms that will be detected by a
Logix5000 controller.
If you are using third-party controllers, you do not need a device-based alarm
server. Instead, go to Chapter 5, “Add an OPC Data Server for third-party
controllers”.
Step 1: Create an application in FactoryTalk View Studio
This example shows how to create a local application.

FactoryTalk View Studio.
