Configure alarm history logging

Use the
FactoryTalk
Alarm and Event Historian component to define and manage database definitions between alarm servers and alarm history log destinations.
An alarm history log records:
  • Alarm state changes--for example, alarms going in and out of alarm
  • Operator actions--for example, acknowledging alarms
  • Tracking events--for example, events generated by:
    • Enabling, disabling, acknowledging, resetting, suppressing or unsuppressing alarms.
    • Successfully writing to control tags.
Archived data is viewed in the
FactoryTalk
Alarm and Event Log Viewer, or you can execute custom queries against a SQL database view.
