Hi guys,
I have a local station SCADA program that requires a daily automatic 1 page printout of the most recent alarms from the Alarm and Event Server. (1 page of alarms can span over several days as they infrequently get alarms)
I feel that this is too simple of an application to warrant the use of Historian, and the customer would never want to pay for it anyways.
Is there a somewhat simpler method of doing this? (with columns for Date&Time, State, Message and Alarm ID)
I also need to print out a couple other forms along with the alarm log, with specific tag values put into specific row/columns, not just a list of all in one row. So I will probably use the following method for that:
https://theautomationblog.com/getting-allen-bradley-plc-and-pac-data-into-excel-using-rslinx/
This will allow me to pull the specific tags from the PLC in their specific location, however, I'm not sure this method would work to log a page worth of alarms, specifically the most recent.
Thanks in advanced!
