The problem with OPC is that it can be expensive to buy the software and
possibly hardware, and then to implement, and it has not had a great
reputation for being very reliable.

Re: [foxboro] AW: paperless printer at V8.8
Don't forget, that with the OPC A&E bolt on you also get data such as the
priority. that is missing from the messages sent to the printer ports.

Howdy!
think about OPC A&E.
Works over TCP/IP,
works pretty good, similar what (Windows)OS and I/A Version,
whether it are Alarms, OAJ, System Alarms..
similar what collector (IMAC, Matrikon, Plain Text,...)
and works redundant!
Doesn't always have to be Foxray...
Cheers!

Betreff: Re: [foxboro] paperless printer at V8.8
Russ,
I wonder if TAC can develop a help hint or something on how do it and get
it working, because so far, the Houston office has not been successful at
finding and providing a working solution to send alarms out a serial port
for our V8.8 upgrade project.

Re: [foxboro] paperless printer at V8.8
I was in the middle of typing when Philip responded....
Mainly ...only IP printers at V8.8 was not the case.....
USB printers are also supported....
And as you can see from Philip response...he has a working solution...

Foxray is definitely a good solution for this, but is just missing
real-time emailing of alarms.
We also use the serial port connection for LogMate and found that at v8.8:
1. You need to change the old printer connection in SysDef to a
USB printer.
2. Purchase a USB to Serial converter.
3. Install the driver for the converter (follow instructions on
whether the converter needs to be plugged in or not, can't recall now).
4. Connect your serial device.
5. Boot into I/A.
6. Messages get collected again.
One note is that the new USB printer always shows offline in SysMgr and
SMDH, but it does work. I happen to be using the Aluratek USB to Serial
Adapter. One thing I have found is that you may have reinstall the driver
after every Commit of the AW.

Subject: [foxboro] paperless printer at V8.8
We have had paperless printers for years using a serial printer going to
another windows box logging all the traffic with a program called Visual
Alert. It has always worked great for us. We send alarms, system messages,
OAJ's, Sequence code messages, etc all to this one place. The operators in
particular like it which is why I have been asked to keep it. The problem
is there are no serial printers at V8.8 and we have not found a solution.
I have asked around, and Foxboro as well as PAS said they could do it, but
have not been able to follow through with a proposed solution. I really
want to get rid of my COM10's (which will pretty much allow me to get rid
of my nodebus all together) and upgrade all of these units to a V8.8
compatible solution. I'm ready to spend the money, but no one seems to
want to do it. Anyone know of a solution that will duplicate the
"destination" functionality (Alarm destination, MSG group, OAJ, system
messages, etc) ? I'm ready to spend the money, ju
st need someone with a working solution willing to do the work.
