Supported functions

The following table lists the supported standard AlarmTypes of the Alarms & Conditions function of the TwinCAT OPC UA Server.

AlarmType

Description

LimitAlarmType

Allows you to define different threshold values for a symbol. If a threshold value is exceeded, the alarm is triggered with a configurable alarm text and severity level.

OffNormalAlarmType

Enables the definition of "normal" and "non-normal" threshold values for a symbol. If the value of the symbol deviates from the defined value, the alarm is triggered.

In addition to the Alarms & Conditions function, the TwinCAT OPC UA Server also offers the option of connecting to the TwinCAT EventLogger and forwarding the alarms or events received there accordingly as an OPC UA Alarm or Event.
