Event Log Page
The Event log is used to view, sort, filter, print and download all alarms in memory. Each DMS-3K
Logic Card Rack can store up to 40,000 events. When equipped with the CR option, the Master DMS-
3K will display events from itself as well as every slave DMS-3K connected to it, in chronological
order, An event can be an input going into alarm, returning to normal, diagnostic message and time
synchronization status.
The event log is used to perform alarm management by filtering the list to a specific date and
timeframe, sorting them by chronological order to determine the exact sequence of events for root
cause analysis. In addition, events can be filtered to a specific input number or group of numbers to
trend the number of occurrences within a given time frame. The event log can be downloaded for
further analysis and data manipulation.
The Event Log displays all active and archived alarms, system status and diagnostics. In addition, the
Event Log provides various sorting and filtering options and the ability to download or print events.
