We've used a relatively inexpensive product called AlarmAnalyst to pull all alarm events out of our AW. Our production staff use it extensively as it not only tabulates the alarms but also provides graphical representation to help analyze alarm patterns. Standard graphics include Pareto, Sequence of Events, Best Fit plus others. There is a very friendly filter that allows the user to focus on alarm groups. The graphical markers also indicate the priority, inhibit status and return to normal status. This product is made by a group called Machine Automation located in Burlington Ontario To contact them call Luke McEachern (905) 331-5168 ext. 102 www.machineautomation.org John Campbell EMT Control Systems Dofasco Inc.

Does anybody know a way to "export" events or alarams from system to a data base (Oracle) ? We are interested in catching important events from operation and send them to an Operation Log, so the event is automaticlly saved to this data base and the operator has to fill the blanks for the cause... We also been working with PI, but we don't want to replicate variables or alarms logics into PI.... I've seen recently an aplication to dump events to excel (the link is not working..), may be the way ? Thanks for your help guys...
