Re: [foxboro] More printer questions...

There are many options, but I'll offer my personal favorite (perhaps because
I'm the responsible engineer - nah! That can't be it.)

Try FoxAMI - Part Number Q0301KR. The PSS is PSS 21S -4Y1 B3.

It 
*       Records all standard I/A Series messages with all of their data
fields (like alarm priority) into Informix. 
*       Comes with a GUI and command line utilities to query the database,
*       Handles archiving with a little setup and the Helpful Hint note
*       Supports the use of ODBC to query the Informix database.

There are other offerings including AIM*Historian and the soon to be
released AIM*AMI tools. 

Hope this helps.

        Greetings All... 
        We have our system alarms and process alarms printing on a dot
matrix line
        printer, fed by the serial cable from our AW51E.    What I would
prefer
        doing, is log these alarms to file instead of a printer. We could
then
        browse the log files  as needed and save a few trees in the process.
Is
        there a way to pull this off without investing hard cash into more
hardware.
        We're running I/A 6.1.2 on Solaris.   I currently use "serial to
parallel
        converters" but these have proved costly and unreliable.  Any
suggestions?
