How to link Alert with System Platform

Alert can be connected to System Platform in 2 ways:

Using the Aveva System Platform connector

The mediator for System Platform uses the MxAccess Object to make the link to the data of System Platform.

By default, the connector makes a link to the property .InAlarm for the management of alarms.

It is also possible to create a link to a single variable and define an alarm from this variable in Alert.

Alert can be installed on the System Platform computer (on the GRNode) or on another computer.

Requirements:

• Viewer license required
• Compatible with System Platform 2014 or newer
• Alert version 3.6 rev 1 or higher
• 32-bit version required for Alert 4.0

Features:

• Importation of alarms and variables by browsing the galaxy
• Transmission of alarm acknowledgements (both ways)

Restriction: Can only be connected to one galaxy.

Using the OI Gateway

Instead of using the System Platform connector, you can also use the OI Gateway to get alarms from System Platform in Alert.

Restriction: Alarm acknowledgements from Alert to System Platform do not work.
