Issue
Jobsite is visited every few months. It seems like database elements have changed value since the previous visit. These are elements that do not need changing unlike setpoints or schedules.
Is there a built-in feature with a DMS panel or the programming tool (OPRIF) that provides database analysis?
Environment
DMS
OPRIF
Cause
Wanting to cross-check current element values in the database with the previous visit
Resolution
Due to the generation of the product, database analysis tools were not a built-in feature.
Supervisory computers allowed for tools to analyse databases and save information to file for future review (i.e. UltiVist, SIGNAL, etc...)
With only OPRIF available, screenshots of point configuration screens are the only way to store values for review later.
DMS databases are not formatted for offline viewing.
Comparing one database copy to another is to use a second DMS panel.
