(ALMD, ALMA)
These Logix-based alarm instructions are available in relay ladder, structured text,
and function block diagram. When used with FactoryTalk View SE software,
version 5.0 and later, these instructions create a system with your visualization

FactoryTalk View Alarms and Events servers that propagate alarms to Factory
Talk View SE clients that subscribe to receive notifications.
