Description

The "BrowseConfiguredAlarms" command returns "AlarmClass", "Name" and "Area" as well as optional further attribute values of the configured alarms of an HMI system or several systems communicating via Runtime Collaboration.

  • You define the query in the initial request.

    It provides a response that delivers the first set of hits.

  • You can call the remaining hits via Next requests.
