AARs are polled at a specified interval based on a poll rate and then made available via the OPC-UA interface.
Alarms, events, and history are made available to MQTT Transmission to be published as immutable Record objects to an MQTT server. Typically these would be received by the MQTT Engine and MQTT Recorder modules running on a central Ignition Gateway and inserted into a database for later use or to be made available to other third party systems.
Common File Exchange (CFX) can also be used for these record data.
The quickstart will guide you through setting up the EFM ABB Totalflow driver module and configuring the device connection to:

Record data can be viewed in a couple of ways:
If using Common File Exchange (CFX), the record data will be stored/maintained in CFX.MD5 files on the local Ignition instance. See the ABB Totalflow Device Connection configuration for more details.
These files can be transferred from the Edge device using any method you choose such as FTP but can also be published using the MQTT Transmission File Publishing option.
To do this, you will need to configure an MQTT Transmission File Record and set the CFX File Transfer parameter to point to that File Record and the CFX files can then be automatically published. See the Creating and Publishing Common Exchange File CFX tutorial for details.
To publish and view record data which includes ABB Totalflow alarms, events, and history data you must To view record data which includes ABB Totalflow alarms, events, and history data you must have MQTT Transmission installed on the instance with the EFM ABB Totalflow driver.
In addition, the following must be set up:
At the Central Gateway:
...
If you do not have a Transmitter configured, create an MQTT Transmitter and set the Sparkplug Settings to the unique Group and Edge Node ID values generated by the Device Connection configuration.
...
For Events and/or History data set the respective poll rates to zero and set the 'Record Info Scan Rate' option to a positive number

Alarms can come from two sources: PERIODIC_HISTORY_RECORDS - Alarms are obtained from the Log Period records (Array 250) and in this case the 'Alarm Scan Rate' should be set to -1. ALARM_LOG_RECORDS - Alarms are obtained from only meters with the enhanced option turned on |
