Abstract
Implementations relate to storing, in alarms database for a process automation system, an association of an alarm configuration file to a function block identifier of a function block that corresponds to the alarm configuration file. Some implementations relate to a node transmitting, via a process automation network, an alarm configuration request that includes the function block identifier and receiving, in response to the request and via the network, the alarm configuration file. The node can include the function block identifier in the alarm configuration request based on the corresponding function block being executed by the node and/or being utilized in alarm monitoring by the node. Some implementations additionally or alternatively relate to receiving the alarm configuration request, and identifying the alarm configuration file based on it being stored, in the alarms database, in association with the function block identifier of the alarm configuration request.
