Tool for generating Alert Handler Reports

Post by fandersen »

Hello,

our customer asks for a report where they can see the alert handler configuration in detail.

It should list:
DPE, DPE-Alias, DPE-Description, Alert Text (incl. translations), Alert Class, Active State

We are using the advS7iec library.

Is there a tool which can generate such a report automatically?


Cheers,
Florian

Hello,

if you make an ASCII-export for the _alert_hdl and _alert_class config you can see this information/the settings for the configs in an ASCII-file.
If you want to show it in a WinCC OA panel (e.g in a table) you have to implement it on your own.

When you want to see the pending alerts you can use the Alarm/Event Screen (AEScreen).

You can create a panel which contains whatever you want, then "printing" the panel as PDF, e.g. passing a printer name as "file:///path/file.pdf".

Check our online help, printPanel() or "Reporting with Panels (Silent print)"
