Cloud Alarm Recipient (nCloudDriver-CloudAlarmRecipient)

This component extends the standard AlarmRecipient. It functions the same as the standard AlarmRecipient component does except that the CloudAlarmRecipient component can be used to send alarms to a single configured cloud platform.

This generic component is configured to receive alarms from Niagara as they are generated and send them to the cloud using the configured factory and the configured CloudConnector. The protocol used is determined by the configured CloudSentienceDevice protocolType.

In order to use the CloudAlarmRecipient, you must place the component under the Station > AlarmService in the wire sheet view, as in the example shown.

Figure 40. CloudAlarmRecipient added to AlarmService Wire Sheet

NOTE: A configured NiagaraCloudNetwork object must exist in the station in order for theCloudAlarmRecipient to function properly.

Notice that the Alarm slot of the Alarm Class component is linked to the Route Alarm slot of the CloudAlarmRecipient component. This ensures that alarms are routed to the CloudAlarmRecipient appropriately.

This component is available in the nCloudDriver palette.

Figure 41. Cloud Alarm Recipient properties

The Time Range, Days of Week, and Transitions properties are standard to all Alarm Recipients and detailed in the Niagara Drivers Guide. The CloudAlarmRecipient-specific configuration properties are described in the following table.

To access these properties, expand Config > Services > Alarm Service, double-click CloudAlarmRecipient.

Alarm Class considerations — Priority

In the Niagara Alarm Class, you can select a number from 0-255 to set the priority for toOffnormal, toFault, toNormal and toAlert. However, Honeywell Forge cloud platform has a different priority scheme. The following table maps a specific range of Niagara priority numbers to each Honeywell Forge priority.

Niagara priority number range	Honeywell Forge priority
0 - 31	Emergency – 1
32 - 64	Alert – 2
65 - 97	Critical – 3
98 - 130	Error – 4
131 – 163	Warning – 5
164 – 196	Notice – 6
197 - 229	Information – 7
230 – 254	Diagnostic – 8
255	Undefined – 0
