Enters a record in an ODBC Database on the Project Node (Access is the default) for each Alarm. Return to normal is also recorded.
Advantech WebAccess/SCADA installs an Access Database as part of software installation for you. You do not need to create a database or have Access software installed. The database resides on the Project Node, typically located at C:\WebAccess\Node\BwPData.mdb
The Data Table is named bwAlarmTable.
The default DSN name is bwpdata_Access. It is recommended to use the Access Database.
The information is the same as found on the Alarm Log Display viewed from the Toolbar or Ctrl+F8 function keys. Logging to a Database is a way of making a permanent record of alarms. Many Industrial Plants require this to monitoring plant safety and process operations.
