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).
