PRILOG Alarm logger

replaces the alarm printer

storing the alarms at the hard disk
Prilog have now for a decade replaced alarm printers all over the world in all kinds of installations, from
medical production factories, offshore installations, different types of ships to simple building access systems.
Anywhere a line printer is installed to log situations or events, Prilog can replace or be added to the system,
for safe storage and remote access and analyzes:
no more paper jam
no more printer noise
no more "out of paper" alarms
no more lost alarms/events
safe storing of alarms and events
automatic backup and reporting facilities
e-mail/SMS message service for chosen events
remote connection and inspection via network/satellite
alarm analyzing tool with facilities for E0 maintenance

As Prilog can connect to a network or telephone line and send e-mails or SMS for chosen events, it have become very popular for unmanned facilities and remote
installations.

Prilog functionality Signal analyses Search Function

Prilog runs under Win95/98/NT/2K on any PC, with
no special requirements, except for a
communication port and/or a network connection.
Prilog can replace any printer type with different
interfaces types. Prilog can fetch the alarms via
the COM port or via the network TCP/IP printer. If
the system is sending the messages via an parallel
interface, a HW converter is used to convert the
signal to serial type or IP network connection if the
source is remote.
Based upon requirements from huge offshore
plants, Prilog has got an analysing tool which is
used to detect the most frequent alarms in the
system. By different selection methods the user
can search through each channel and list out the
occurrences for different time periods, and analyse
witch alarms causes most problems, and the time
window for these alarms. Any time the operator
may view the "10 on top" list with the ranging of
the most annoying alarms at all times.

Prilog Writer E0-Maintenance support

The Prilog writer is the logger part of Prilog that
reads the sources and writes the information to
the hard disk. The Prilog Writer will always run
when the PC is running. The information is stored
in a circular file, where the oldest lines is over
written by the latest incoming lines, in order to not
fill up the hard disk. The size of this file is
determined when Prilog is installed, and the place
for the file is reserved.
50 different channels pr PC
There is no absolute limit for how many different
channels of alarm lines that can be received in one
PC, as this is a matter of PC capacity. A modern PC
