Step 4: Finish creating data servers, and next steps
1. If your FactoryTalk application includes third-party OPC-DA controllers, add an
OPC Data Server, create a tag-based alarm server, and then define alarms. See
Chapter 5, “Add an OPC Data Server for third-party controllers” and Chapter 6,
“Add a tag-based alarm server for Logix5000, PLC-5, SLC 500, or third-party
controllers”.
2. If your FactoryTalk application is communicating with PLC-5 or SLC 500
controllers, or Logx5000 controllers that are not using built-in alarm instructions,
you must add a device server (RSLinx Enterprise) to your application and then
create a tag-based alarm server and define alarms. See Chapter 6, “Add a tag-
based alarm server for Logix5000, PLC-5, SLC 500, or third-party controllers”.
3. After you create data servers and alarms, add FactoryTalk Alarm and Event
objects to graphic displays. See Chapter 7, “Set up graphic displays”.
