Alarm Printer Configuration
Hi Mr.Stromqvist
Myself working at ABB INOPC. Now a days, i am working with SG ABB, in their engineering and commissioing activities.
We have a requirement wherein we need to configure one alarm printer (USB type - Dot Matrix - OKI micro line make ) each on Primary aspect server and Engineering Client. In earlier projects i have successfully used the alarm printers along with the Primary aspect server. Based on the current requirement, Is it possible to connect the alarm printer in the Eng. Client PC and at the same time get it configured under the Alarm logger service.

I checked the alarm logger service. Under the service provider -- > nodes, only the names of the redundant aspect servers are visible.

The Alarm Logger service can only be deployed on a server node.
The configuration requires a printer queue; printer queues can be local or remote.
I believe only local printers have been considered during development and testing.

Hi,
Assuming your system version 6.x , you may have deployed alarm logger function only in your PriASCS1-OS1 and SecASCS-OS2.
Your Engineering Client is not an xA Node. Is it a standalone engineering Client or an xA client with ONB and FCB installed ?
I assumed SG ABB is Safeguard ABB.
