3.2.19         Alarm Log to ODBC (Not supported by WinCE)

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.
