How To Add Parameter To Event Chronicle

Hello, 

Please see picutres below. 

How do I add BFI1/First_Out parameter to Event Chronicle so I can see CND condition block caused the interlock to activate?

  You will have to edit the Change of State alarm type in setup data to include 'Change of State - %P1'
  The problem is, you may not have a P1 for all alarms that currently use that type of alarm. You'll end up with the literal text in the chronicle if %P1 is undefined for the alarm.
  The better idea may be to create a new alarm type for exactly what you need, (based on change of state type), then configure the alarm type message as mentioned.

  Thank you so much Youssef,

  I will try this and respond with results. Hopefully, the Event Chronicle will show me when  BFI1/OUT is True (1) and the corresponding the BFI1/FIRST_OUT value. [:D]

  Does the Even Chronicle use any type of licensing?

  See the product data sheet:

  http://www2.emersonprocess.com/siteadmincenter/PM%20DeltaV%20Documents/ProductDataSheets/PDS_EventChronicle.pdf

  Description Model Number

  Event Chronicle VE2143

   The Event Chronicle requires Process History View (part of the History View Suite) to view the collected alarms and events.

   The Event Chronicle is included in the ProfessionalPLUS Station and Professional Station Software Suite(s).

  If installing on an APP station, the alarms and events for the app station must include the areas you wish to monitor, which means the app station must have sufficient base App Station licensing for this.
