Maintain Alarm History Logs and Generate Reports
View a Complete Record of Network Events
Every alarm event that happens in your network is a vital clue to understanding its true operational status. By maintaining a history of alarm events, you can track trends and locate problem areas in your network. This information can help you revise maintenance schedules, determine equipment replacement plans, and anticipate and prevent future problems.
A high-quality alarm management system can record each alarm event in a history log. History logs can include alarms, control operations, alarm acknowledgements, internal alarms, power failures and user activity.
The information in the history log can also be used to generate reports summarizing information from specific categories of information. History reports can be generated for points, sites, and alarm categories in a variety of formats, including delimited text that can be imported to a database or spreadsheet for further analysis.
