We have several Ignition SCADA servers located at various sites. Alarms are monitored and acknowledged by logging into individual site private networks and loading the Ignition SCADA project using a local URL. From there the alarms are acknowledged. The goal is to have one location to view and acknowledge alarms. Has this problem been solved? Is there a way to do this already?
Is there a reference design that exists for this?
Below is a high-level diagram:
Within an Ignition Gateway Network, you should be able to set up a Remote Tag Provider for each of the providers where alarms are generated. You can then set up service security to restrict / permit remote access as desired.
A project running on Physical Location Main or AWS Cloud will then have access view & acknowledge all alarms (matching your desired filter). A user will be able to acknowledge from any project, and that updated alarm state (acknowledgement) will be observed by a user on any other project.
