Features Highlights

The Alarms module provides several key features:

• AlarmHistorian: Allows saving alarms and their state changes in a separate database, distinct from AuditTrail, which only saves when editing settings.

• Alarm Window object: Used for displaying active alarms and their state changes on displays.

• Real-time alarm processing: Ensures quick identification and response to critical events.

• Hierarchy organization: Alarms can be organized and managed hierarchically for greater flexibility and control.

• Universal time and daylight saving: Timestamps are accurately recorded, considering universal time and daylight saving time.

• Dynamic language localization: Alarm messages can be dynamically localized for easy understanding across languages.

• High-precision timestamps: Supports high-precision timestamps up to 0.1 milliseconds for accurate and reliable data recording.

Real-time Alarm

Processing

The Alarm module was created developed using pure .NET managed code, with incorporating multi-threading and exception control , for maximum optimal performance and reliability. Combining By integrating the Alarm, Dataset, and Script modulesModules, you can efficiently log and bookmark various process execution events , such as downtime, startup, shutdown, batch control, and continuous process analysis.

Storage and Replication

Users can save Alarm Historian data can be stored in any either a local or remote SQL database. When using In cases of redundancy, the platform provides automatic synchronization of the database. The replication guarantees the accuracy of the same data on both servers, even when using different providerssystem automatically synchronizes the databases. This replication ensures that both servers maintain the exact same data, even if they use different providers, guaranteeing data accuracy.

The system also has seamless, SDK-level, connectivity seamlessly integrates with PI BatchTM and PI EFTM for at the SDK level, facilitating data presentation, chartscharting, and custom data management.

Universal Time and Daylight

Saving  

The Our platform leverages UTC (utilizes Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on for all logging and online date-time objects; so . This ensures that Alarms, Events, and Historical data are accurately time-stamped for when they happened, no matter where the user is timestamped regardless of your location or any daylight saving settings. 

Audit Trail and Alarm Areas

We provide a one-click configuration to enable audit trail on Easily activate audit trail with a single click to track Operator Actions, Database and Reports Events, User logon and logoff, System events, and custom tag tags events. Data All data is securely archived in SQL tables with project-defined encryption.

encryption defined by the project.

Alarm Visualization Component

We provide a Access the built-in graphical visualizer for alarms, whether on a PCalarm visualizer seamlessly across PCs, web browserbrowsers, or iPad.FilteringiPads. Enjoy a range of features including filtering, SQL queries, grouping, printing, saving, acknowledging, and exporting are some of the included built-in featuresalarms with ease.

Notification Subscription

Project scripts with have full access to the entire Microsoft .NET Framework and can easily subscribe to alarm events to implement . This enables the implementation of custom actions , such as notification and calculation methods.

Store and Forward

When using utilizing remote databases, our platform offers a "store and forward option is provided, so " option. This means that a local cache is created to store data while the connection is not available unavailable, and then forwards the data when once the database connection is re-establishedreestablished.

Localization

It is possible to translate online messages Messages and query results retrieved from the Alarm Historian database on the fly to can be instantly translated into local languages based on using automated dictionaries.
