Hey guys,
We're going to install a PlantPAx system. We're using Controllogix PLC and FTView SE and Historian on the workstation.
My question is, how do you guys usually log an operator action on the workstation to the event log or historian based on their user login?
For example, if operator A is logged in and he changed some alarm set points, how do I log that action so I can have it recorded in the historian? The client wants the end product to be an excel sheet displaying all the events that happened when a certain user is logged in.
On the top of my mind, I think I can create a tag for each user which will be activated by login macro when that user is logged on. When it's activated, the event log will detect the change of value and based on that information we can have a timestamp that will indicate which user is logged on in a certain time. But in this case, the information will not be straightforward.
Is there any way to have like:
Operator A changed setpoint of PTXXX from 0 to 50?
Sorry if my english is not that clear.
Thanks!
