How link ALERT 4.0 with Intouch

The ALERT 4.0 software can be connected to AVEVA Intouch with different way :

Using the AVEVA Intouch connector​

The mediator is mainly used to import alarms from a csv file obtained by a dbdump and create a DDE link to the tags in ALERT.

ALERT must be installed on the same computer than AVEVA Intouch to work with the connector.

  • Importation of alarms and variables by reading a csv file. (obtained with the dbdump application)
  • DDE Link with AVEVA Intouch (syntax is : VIEW|TAGNAME!alarm name).
  • Transmission of alarm's acknowledgements (both ways: from ALERT to AVEVA Intouch and from AVEVA Intouch to ALERT).

Using OI Gateway with AVEVA Intouch and ALERT​

The use of OI Gateway (or FS Gateway) is recommended when you don't want to have a DDE link between ALERT and AVEVA Intouch or when ALERT is not installed on the AVEVA Intouch computer.
