5.16        Central Database Logs

Real-time data from tags can be recorded to central, ODBC-compliant databases on the Project Node and then viewed with HTML Reports using VIEW and ViewDAQ:

·         Analog Tag Log  (for floating point numbers)

·         Discrete Tag Log (On/Off, run/start data)

·         Text Tag Log

·         Alarm Logs

·         Action Logs

·         A System Log is always generated and monitors who connects, downloads, Starts and Stops Nodes, and other "system access" information.

The Data from all SCADA nodes are recorded to the central Project Node databases.

 Users can generate reports from these logs using a simple Query built from pull-down lists.  The output of the HTML Reports can be copied and Pasted into EXCEL, WORD, and other general purpose office applications
