Create an application
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. In this example, the Rockwell Automation device server
(RSLinx Enterprise) is used as a data server for tag values, not as an alarm server.
Step 1: Create an application in FactoryTalk View Studio
This example shows how to create a local application.
1. To start FactoryTalk View Studio, on the Windows Start menu, click Start, point
to All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk View and then click
FactoryTalk View Studio.
2. In the Application Type Selection window, select Site Edition (Local) and then
click Continue.
If you created a local application previously, you can skip this step.
Instead, open FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Application Type Selection window,
select Site Edition (Local) and then click Continue. In the New/Open Site Edition
(Local) Application dialog box, click the Existing tab, and select the application
you created.
FactoryTalk View Machine Edition does not support FactoryTalk Alarms and Events.
