SCADAlarm™ 6.0 Event-Notification Software
SCADAlarm™ alarm and event-notification software provides a telecommunications link to industrial automation software systems. Based on the Microsoft® Windows® operating system, SCADAlarm enables real-time intelligent alarm and event notification, data acquisition capabilities and remote control. SCADAlarm provides an open, easy to configure interface for constant monitoring and communication with processes regardless of location.
SCADAlarm software seamlessly integrates with the comprehensive FactorySuite A²™ product family and has built in browsers to enable fast configuration of information from Wonderware's Industrial Application Server and InTouch® HMI systems. Alarms can be vocalized over speakers, intercom systems, radios, multimedia speakers, PA systems and telephones. Users can listen to and acknowledge alarms, change set points, hear exact values of variables, and operate equipment via telephone from remote locations, saving valuable time and money.
SCADAlarm 6.0 also supports TAPI (Telephony Application Programming Interface). This is a Microsoft programming standard that enables telephony software to work with any TAPI compliant modem. This enables SCADAlarm to be device independent and allows users to choose standard off-the-shelf, inexpensive modems that are readily available in their area.
SCADAlarm enables easy configuration and scheduling to automatically send messages to pagers and personal communications system (PCS) phones. Voice messages can be quickly recorded through SCADAlarm built-in text to speech converter. Users just type in the messages they would like to have spoken and SCADAlarm automatically converts the text to spoken words and saves it in a .wav format.
Security is a main concern when communicating with remote automation systems, especially when it comes to remote control. SCADAlarm 6.0 enables tight security through user log in and the ability to restrict / allow users based upon caller ID phone numbers.
As an enterprise-wide telephony and messaging system, SCADAlarm software turns any PC into a communications command center. It can monitor an entire network 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year ensuring constant communication with the automation system.
With SCADAlarm event-notification software, getting real-time plant information is as convenient and easy as checking voicemail.
