Hardware alarm indication

There are some limited hardware alarms that I would like to display for the operator.  Is there a way to read the particular alarms and trigger another category?  I don't want all of the hardware alarms inthe general list, but I would like to alarm if a particular standby (or primary) I/O server has lost communications.  I may just be looking at this from the wrong angle.

    I've not seen the ability to turn a hardware alarm into a process alarm. Not saying it isn't possible, but it probably requires some scripting to achieve.

    The way I've seen this achieved in the past is either through SNMPII driver comms to the end device, then configuring an alarm on top of that tag.

    Another way is to configure an Advanced Alarm, with a call to a Cicode function that calls ServerInfoEx to get the remote I/O Server status.

    Hope you find the solution you are looking for.

    Kind regards
