Event Panel Structure

The Event Panel is designed as an integrated workspace for quickly reviewing events and alarms that have occurred. The panel consists of supporting sections that provide filtering, date selection, event/alarm listing, and operation status tracking.

Section Function
Filter Pane Allows event and alarm records to be narrowed according to specified criteria.
Date Selection Pane Allows the day or consecutive days to be selected for review.
Event/Alarm List Displays records matching the selected date and filter criteria.
Progress Bar Shows the progress of the operation while archive records are being prepared or listed.
Operation Message Box Provides the user with status and operation messages regarding the performed operation.
Panel Organization:

The user defines the filtering criteria, selects the date, and views the resulting records through the central event/alarm list. The progress bar and operation messages help the user track the status of the operation being performed.

Filtering Event and Alarm Records

The filter pane added to the Event Panel allows listed events and alarms to be restricted according to different properties. This feature makes it easier to find the required records, especially in archives containing a large number of event records.

Filter Description
Event Direction Allows records to be filtered according to the direction of the event.
Operator Allows filtering according to the operator associated with the event or operation.
Event Level Allows records to be restricted according to the level of the event or alarm.
Event Group Allows records belonging to specific event groups to be selected.
Event Type Allows records to be filtered according to the event type.
Event Description Makes it easier to find the required records according to the event description.
Event Location Allows filtering according to the location where the event occurred.
Event Data Name Allows records to be restricted according to the data/Tag name associated with the event.
Event Data Type Allows records to be filtered according to the data type associated with the event.

The user can narrow the event/alarm list by selecting one or more of the required filter options. This makes it easier to review records for a specific event, alarm, operator, or data point in large archives.

Resetting Filters:

Applied filters can be reset using the corresponding option in the status menu opened by right-clicking the event/alarm list.

Live Alarm List and Auto Update

The live alarm list feature added to the Event Panel allows users to automatically monitor the most recently generated alarms. When the user clicks the Auto Update button, automatic update mode is enabled.

When automatic update mode is active, the latest alarm records are automatically reflected in the list. To exit this mode, the user can click the Auto Update button again.

Live Alarm Monitoring:

The Auto Update feature provides a convenient way to continuously monitor newly generated alarms, particularly when the operator needs to follow new alarms without manually refreshing the list.

  1. Open the Event Panel.
  2. Click the Auto Update button.
  3. Monitor the latest alarm records while automatic update is active.
  4. Click the same button again to stop automatic updates.

Date Selection and Viewing Archive Records

When Auto Update mode is not active, the user can view event and alarm records for individual days by clicking the calendar days in the date selection pane.

Consecutive days can also be selected together. The user can press and hold the right mouse button on the first day, drag the pointer to the last day, and release it to select all consecutive days in between.

Multiple-Day Selection:

Press and hold the right mouse button on the first day, drag the pointer to the last day, and release it. The event and alarm archives for the selected consecutive days can then be displayed together.

  1. Make sure that Auto Update mode is disabled.
  2. Select the day you want to view from the calendar.
  3. Wait for the event and alarm records for the selected day to be listed.
  4. To select multiple consecutive days, press and hold the right mouse button on the first day and drag to the last day.
  5. When the selection is complete, review the archive records for the selected date range.

Large Number of Records and the 5,000-Record Block Structure

A large number of event and alarm records may be available as a result of the selected date or filter criteria. When the number of records is very high, the data is displayed to the user in blocks of 5,000 records.

This approach helps provide more controlled use of the event list, particularly in long-term archives and systems that generate a high volume of alarms. Users can review large archives in sections, making it easier to locate the records they need.

5,000-Record Blocks:

When the number of records in the archive exceeds 5,000, presenting the records in blocks of 5,000 allows large data lists to be viewed in a manageable manner.

Event List Status Menu

When the user right-clicks on the event/alarm list, a status menu opens through which relevant operations can be performed. This menu allows operations such as saving records as CSV and resetting applied filters.

Operation Description
Save as CSV Allows the records displayed in the event/alarm list to be saved in CSV format.
Reset Filters Removes the applied filters and returns the event/alarm list to its general view.
Saving a Filtered List:

The user can first narrow the list using criteria such as Event Direction, Operator, Event Level, Event Group, Event Type, Event Description, Event Location, Event Data Name, or Event Data Type. The filtered list can then be saved as CSV using the status menu opened with a right-click.

Using the Event Panel

The Event Panel can be used both to review events and alarms that occurred in the past from the archive and to monitor newly generated alarms live. The usage mode depends on whether the user enables Auto Update.

Usage Mode Operation
Live Alarm Monitoring Auto Update is enabled and the latest alarms are monitored automatically.
Single-Day Archive Review With Auto Update disabled, the relevant day is selected from the calendar and its records are displayed.
Multiple-Day Archive Review Consecutive days are selected by dragging with the right mouse button, and records within the date range are displayed.
Filtered Review Filters are applied according to event and alarm properties to list the required records.
Export to CSV Records can be saved as CSV through the status menu opened by right-clicking the list.
  1. Open the Event Panel from the quick access button or through the VIEW → EVENT PANEL menu.
  2. If you want to monitor live alarms, enable the Auto Update feature.
  3. If you want to review archive records, disable Auto Update mode and select the relevant date from the calendar.
  4. Apply event/alarm filters if necessary.
  5. If there are many records, review the list using the 5,000-record blocks.
  6. If necessary, use the right-click menu to save records as CSV or reset the filters.

General Overview

The Event Panel is an important operator tool in EOS SCADA Runtime that allows events and alarms to be monitored both from the archive and in real time. The panel combines functions such as date selection, detailed filtering, live alarm updates, and data export within a single workspace.
