Alarm archive until minimum one year of events

Miguel

Hello

We are develop a Citect SCADA 2018 solution, with two redundant Alarm servers.

One of the requirements is that SCADA has stored at least one year of events / alarms.

I would like to know, how I can configure the Alarm Server for this (SOE).

There is a limitations on number of files? another question is how can we consult the archive alarms in SCADA?

How we can export the data to a TXT or CSV file. there is a Cicode Functions to do that?

For now, we do not want to use an external dBase / SQL database to comply with this requirement (using log Device).

In help pages, this topic is not clear and we need a little help.

Thank you

  • Hi,

    I would advise not to use the Archive settings you refer to.

    Typically nowadays you have enough harddisk space to base it on the parameters:
    - [Alarm]KeepOnLineFor
    - [Alarm]ArchiveAfter
    KeepOnlineFor is the leading one (and should be greater than ArchiveAfter).

    By setting KeepOnlineFor = 52 weeks, you store your alarm and events for 1 year in the [DATA] folder.

    To export you can use the AlmSummary* functions and best to put in filters on one alarm and/or a fixed time period (OnTime).
  • Hello Erik

    Thank you for your answer.

    "To export you can use the AlmSummary* functions and best to put in filters on one alarm and/or a fixed time period (OnTime)."

    We are using alarm pages get from Situational Awareness template. We only have the active alarms page and SOE page. if i understood that you right, we can use custom filters on active alarm page. Right? Where we can find the functions or an example to do that?

    Thank you?
  • Hi Miguel,

    Unfortunately the Situational Awareness templates do not have this functionality , see also https://softwareforums.aveva.com/citect_community/citect_scada/f/1457/t/33639.

  • Hi Erik

    Thank you again. I remember that i already use these filters in some projects before (version 7.3). 

    We can use a simple cicode function (LibAlarmFilterForm(0)) that open a Active alarm Filter Popup. So, we can customize some filters in SA templale.

    Just my last question,  important for the full SCADA operationality, is how can we export the alarm filtered to the *txt or *.Csv File. It's possible?

    Thank you
