Issue
In Niagara G3, is there a way to access the Alarm Portal through a web browser?
Environment
- Niagara G3
- Alarm Portal
Cause
Through the web, only the alarm console associated with the connected station can be viewed, and only one station at a time.
Resolution
The Alarm Portal is a program that runs off the Workbench framework, but can also be purchased as a stand alone product (i.e. no need to purchase Workbench and Alarm Portal, just purchase the portal). With the Alarm Portal software, connecting to multiple consoles at once is possible (similar to using Tools > Alarm Portal within Workbench).
The other option is to create a Station Recipient for the desired alarm class in the ENC station's Alarm Service that points to the Enterprise Network Server, and use the server's Alarm Console. As long as the user has permissions to access the alarm console in the server, then the user can navigate to it in the nav tree. It can also be added as a node in the .nav file for easy access to the location. The user would still need the appropriate permissions to access the console.
