Printers
Up to 20 printers can be connected to a base system, either directly or through LAN.
The printers can be of various types, e.g. transparent printers, matrix printers and
laser printers. In addition to these printers, the ones defined in the operating system
can be accessed by MicroSCADA.
Each printer has a unique printer number, which can be associated with a certain
task. For example, the task can be an alarm and event printout, hard copy, historical
reports and so on. A printer can be programmed to take over the tasks of another
printer automatically.
Printouts can be produced automatically or manually. The printout layout can be
customised. The main printout types are logs, reports, hard copies and documents.
Logs are automatic printouts based on process events. The logs can be directed to
one or several printers.
Alarm devices
The MicroSCADA alarm unit is a normal computer card with a cable connection
card. The cable connection card has two outputs. The first output is connected to a
standard MicroSCADA alarm panel, which contains alarm class specific lights and
push buttons for light and sound acknowledgement. The second output can be
connected to 8 alarm devices.
