Other Signatures

AVEVA products can be configured to produce other electronic signatures with the use of scripting and object attributes configuration. The compliance of these records is up to the developer and should be verified during the testing and qualification phases of a project.

You can acknowledge alarms using the AVEVA Alarm Client Control by providing your signature. If the alarms are configured to require a signature for acknowledgement, the system checks whether any alarms are awaiting acknowledgement and whether the alarms fall within the configured priority range. If so, you need to provide valid domain, user name, and password authentication to acknowledge the alarms.

You can also provide your signature to acknowledge the alarms by using Smart Cards. You need to have a Smart Card reader configured to your system. If an alarm requires a signature to be acknowledged, you must select the appropriate Smart Card inserted in the reader at run time. You need to provide the valid PIN to acknowledge the alarm. You can also choose to log on with your name, password, and domain instead of Smart Card.
