Hello, I am seeking advice on remotely managing the FactoryTalk alarm & events SQL database. I am looking to handle tag-generated faults and alarms within the Rockwell suite then manage their acknowledgement and comments externally through an SQL GUI interface. While this may seem straightforward, I do not currently have database access. If anyone has experience with this process, I would appreciate any insights. Thank you.
What Causes a Bump on the Skin?
Is there a way to issue commands to the FactoryTalk SE alarm and events log object using VBA commands? Operators may need to select a historical alarm from a log list and acknowledge it with a comment. Have others encountered this issue before?

Hi there, from what I gather, your aim is to remotely manage FactoryTalk alarms and events through an SQL GUI interface. Since you don't have database access currently, the first step would be to get the necessary permissions or bring it up with your IT admin. Once you have access, there are various tools like SQL Server Management Studio(SSMS) to interact with the database. From FactoryTalk point of view, you can manage the native alarm and events using FactoryTalk Diagnostics. Just be sure that the SQL database that FactoryTalk populates is correctly set up and that your tags and alarms are organized within FactoryTalk itself. This should provide you with a solid foundation to build upon. Always remember to consider the security implications of remote access and ensure you have measures in place to prevent unauthorized access.
Hi! Your approach sounds pretty comprehensive. Since you're looking to manage the tags externally via an SQL GUI, I'd suggest the first priority is gaining appropriate database access rights. Second, you would need to get familiar with the structure of your alarm database - the FactoryTalk Suite does have a robust support documentation about this. For the GUI, certain tools like PHP MyAdmin or MS SQL Server Management Studio can help you interact with your SQL database remotely. Remember to handle transactions carefully, to avoid any possible data corruption issues which might occur due to network faults. Always confirms the changes on the Rockwell Side as well to ensure the data is in sync. Hope this helps.
Hello, it seems like you're trying to take on quite an interesting task. From my experience, database access is essential for managing alarms and events in FactoryTalk. You might want to start by contacting your IT department to get the necessary permissions. Once you have access, you can utilize a program like Microsoft's SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to handle your alarm acknowledgment and comment management. If the Rockwell suite allows for it, you can automate much of the process by creating Stored Procedures within SQL so you're not having to manually acknowledge alarms and faults. Do backup your database regularly, as manipulating it directly can have significant repercussions if anything goes wrong. Hope this helps!
I've worked with FactoryTalk for a while now and based on your description I'd recommend establishing a VPN to gain safe remote access to your SQL database. As for managing tag-generated faults and alarms, the FactoryTalk Diagnostics Viewer can help track these down. You'd need to properly bind alarms for Network Distributed tags without server redundancy, and then you should be able to manage their acknowledgement and comments externally with an SQL GUI. It's crucial to work with someone with administrative rights to configure this access unless you can gain it yourself. Just make sure to follow your company's IT guidelines for this process.
