About Actions and Events

FA-Server provides powerful server functions such as logging and daily report aggregation. These functions are collectively called "actions".

 

Actions provide various functions required for a monitoring screen system, such as logging the PLC values to CSV files, databases, etc. (logger action, summary action) Each action obtains the value of the PLC device via the tag defined in FA-Server.

 

And what determines when each action is executed is the "event". An event is a trigger for executing an action that is registered in FA-Server. You can flexibly set conditions, such as whether to execute the action at a regular interval, at a certain time, or only when the tag value meets a certain condition.

 

In other words, server functions on the FA-Server side are built by defining a combination of actions and events.
