Alarm Logging

Alarm logging provides you with a straightforward process for creating and maintaining records to analyze the alarm state of equipment and processes in your system. As a result, alarm logging helps you determine if action is required to repair or maintain your system.

The Database Logger enables you to:

• Log data about selected alarms or all alarms to an alarm log table.
• Save the log files, until specified criteria occur.
• Have the logged data discarded, based on specified criteria.
• Save the logged data to another file for future analysis.

You can display, print and analyze that information in a report that you create or in an Excel CIMPLICITY Alarm Report that is included in CIMPLICITY..

• Alarm ID,
• Time the Alarm was Generated,
• Alarm Class, Resource,
• Alarm Message,
• Alarm comments that are entered in the Alarm Viewer.
• Logged By
• Other optional attributes that you select.

Steps to configure alarm logging include:

Step 1	Review system alarms included in the alarm log table.
Step 2	Add additional alarms to the alarm log table.
Step 3	Configure alarm logging properties.
Step 4	Configure logging conditions for a single alarm.
