Allow Export and Import of alarms in CSV format

We have launched this feature with WIN-911 2021 R5 for OPC Classic and UA Data Access servers.

Hello Clayton,

Yes, it will. When configuring a tag, you'll be able to select from Least Significant Bit (LSB) and Most Significant Bit (MSB). Bit picking is only available for Boolean alarms.

A few other features worth mentioning...

Acknowledgment Sync: This allows you to sync the ack state with a SCADA system by writing to and monitoring ack tags. (Boolean alarms only)

Value Substitution for Boolean alarms: If you are using boolean items to represent level alarms, you'll be able to substitute the value present in the alarm details with another tag. For example, you're monitoring a boolean for tanklevel.hi.alarm, when the alarm is triggered, you'll be able to sub in a tag with the value of the tank level.

Active/Inactive Descriptions: V7 allows for two different alarm labels, so we're bringing it back as Active/Inactive Descriptions. You'll still have a separate description just for the tag/item.

Alarm Delay: An alarm condition must persist longer than the configured delay before an alarm is generated.

Deadband: Calculated by percentage or value. PV must exceed Deadband before an alarm is cleared.

I've added a screenshot of the Boolean and Level alarm configuration.

@StevenRivas Will this new OPC module also allow for bit selection for when alarms have been Bit Packed into a single word?

Hello,

I wanted to let you all know we will be releasing a new OPC module for OPC UA DA, OPC UA A&C, and OPC DA Classic at the end of Q2 this year. These modules will include a CSV Import/Export to make it easier to configure WIN-911, as well as a new Import Wizard.

Regards,

Steven Rivas

Yes, everything should have a simple CSV Import/Export.
