OPC Alarm and Event Server Behavior at Power Fail
If the power fails on the OPC Alarm and Event Server,
all events received but not
yet sent to respective OPC client, are lost.
When the OPC Server has recovered from power fail, all alarms that are not in idle
state is updated in the alarm handler. This means that recreation
of alarm lists after
power fail is done. As mentioned in previous paragraph, it is
not possible to recreate
condition related or simple events sent from controllers
to the OPC Server before
the power fail occurred.
