Re: [foxboro] LINE PRINTER REPLACEMENT

Not to my knowledge, but I've been wrong before.

The APRINT mechanism used by the CP to send messages needs something
that "speaks" APRINT. Windows printer drivers do not. I/A Series printer
drivers do.

So, if you can configure/make an I/A Series driver that prints over a
network, it might work.

Alex,

In version 8.x (read Windows only), can't we send alarms to any printer
configured on the system?  I haven't tried it yet, but I'm thinking you
can setup a TCPIP printer on a windows workstation (AW/WP) to be the
default printer and send alarms or graphics to it? I know I was able to
configure a laserjet 5550 to accept graphic printouts even on a UNIX
AW/WP over TCPIP years ago.  Does the alarm printer really need to be
configured to LPxx on ver 8.x?

I may be wrong, but I'll try next week!

Collecting them in AIM*Historian and using the Alarm Package to get the
data with OLE DB would be an appropriate approach if you don't need
real-time.

As for the rest, we do not support sending an alarm over Ethernet to a
destination. Such a program could be written.

I know that all these alarm logging tools can connect via RS232 just as
a
printer would ... but is it possible to drive the alarms out an ethernet
port instead of a COM processor?  Rather than connecting a PC to the
COM10
via RS232 and then connecting the PC to my plant LAN via ethernet ...
can I
run one of these alarm loggers on a LAN computer and have the AW provide
the alarms directly through the ethernt port?  And, would I want to?
(I'm
thinking traffic)
