Alarm server and alarm clients
Alarm servers are entities capable of producing an alarm. Alarm clients are
entities capable of receiving an alarm.
There are two types of alarm client: temporary alarm receivers and pre-
configured alarm receivers. The following concept for temporary alarm
recipients is only valid for Desigo PX.
Temporary alarm receivers are not defined at the engineering stage. They can
be connected to or removed from the network at any time during operation. If a
temporary alarm receiver is connected to the network, it will perform the
following activities for every alarm server:
● The alarm recipient enters its address in the BACnet property recipient list
[RecpList] of the BACnet device object of the automation station, using the
BACnet service AddListElement.
● Read information about all currently existing alarms, and all currently
outstanding acknowledgements, from the automation station (BACnet
service GetEventInformation). This ensures that the alarm receiver –
