EOS Data Acquisition

EOS Event Recorder is a high-performance event recording software designed to collect and archive alarms, events, status changes and user interactions occurring in SCADA and industrial automation systems in real time.

In a SCADA system, knowing only the current state is not enough. It should also be possible to investigate when an event occurred, which device caused it, which value changed and how the event developed over time.

EOS Event Recorder records this information together with timestamps, helping create a detailed operational history of the facility. Recorded events can later be filtered, queried and analyzed.

Both software applications can be used to collect and archive industrial alarm and event information in real time. The main difference is how event records are presented to users and the capabilities provided for alarm management.

One of the important applications of the EOS Event Recorder family is the reliable recording of the large number of alarms generated in SCADA systems.

EOSFastER focuses particularly on high-performance data collection and event archiving. Alarms and events are received and processed rapidly, creating an archive that can be examined historically.

EOSVisualER takes this approach one step further. Through its integrated Alarm List user control, it does not simply archive alarm information; it also presents alarms to operators in real time and allows them to be processed during operation.

This means that an Event Recorder can serve not only as the facility's digital memory, but also as a tool used by operators for alarm management.

The Event Recorder architecture can be designed to allow multiple recording servers to be used in critical industrial applications.

Using multiple Event Recorder instances to monitor systems on the same network and record events simultaneously can increase the reliability of the recording infrastructure.

• Use of multiple Event Recorder instances
• Distributed event recording architecture
• Redundant event archiving
• Centralized integration with SCADA systems
• Architecture suitable for high-availability systems

Recorded events are not simply stored as historical records. Filtering, querying and analyzing event history makes it possible to investigate the causes of problems that occurred during operation.

The Event Recorder approach helps examine the historical behavior of a facility in greater detail by associating events with information such as time, source, user, equipment and event type.

• Querying historical events
• Filtering alarms and events
• Time-based event analysis
• Analyzing events with equipment and source information
• Transferring archived data to reporting systems

EOSFastER and EOSVisualER are included in the EOS SCADA 2026 package. Download the EOS SCADA 2026 package to use both Event Recorder applications according to your requirements.

Projects used by the Event Recorder applications are created and configured using EOS SCADA Editor. Therefore, EOS SCADA Editor is required to create and edit EOSFastER and EOSVisualER projects.

EOS Event Recorder software can be used to record event and alarm information received from SCADA systems or supported data sources in industrial facilities.

1. Download the EOS SCADA portable RAR package.
   Click the download link above to download the EOS SCADA package to your computer.


2. Extract the EOS SCADA files.
   Extract the contents of the downloaded RAR file into a folder named EOS_SCADA_2026 and place this folder in the C:\ directory on your computer.


3. Install Firebird 5 Database.
   EOS SCADA uses Firebird as its database infrastructure. Download and install the appropriate version of Firebird 5 for your Windows operating system from the official Firebird 5 download page .


4. Configure administrator privileges and security exceptions.
   Enable the Run as administrator option for EOSscadaED.exe, EOSFastER.exe and EOSVisualER.exe. Also allow the communication ports used by EOS SCADA through the Windows Firewall. If a third-party antivirus or security software is installed on your computer, define the appropriate security exceptions for EOSscadaED.exe, EOSFastER.exe, EOSVisualER.exe and C:\EOS_SCADA_2026 when necessary.


5. Create desktop shortcuts.
   Create desktop shortcuts for EOSscadaED.exe, EOSFastER.exe and EOSVisualER.exe located in the C:\EOS_SCADA_2026 folder.


6. Start EOS SCADA Editor and prepare your project.
   Double-click the EOSscadaED.exe shortcut on your desktop to start EOS SCADA Editor. Create the SCADA project to be used by the Event Recorder applications and configure the required devices, communication protocols, data points, alarms and events.


7. Run EOSFastER or EOSVisualER.
   Depending on the purpose of your SCADA project, run either EOSFastER.exe or EOSVisualER.exe. EOSFastER can be used for high-speed event recording and archiving, while EOSVisualER additionally provides visual alarm monitoring and alarm processing through the Alarm List.


8. Monitor and analyze event and alarm records.
   Monitor collected alarms and events in real time, record them and query historical records for analysis. When using EOSVisualER, operators can also process alarms through the Alarm List.
