Real-Time Plant Floor Data Information Tool

SCADAlarm 5.0 is a Windows-based telecommunications link to industrial automation software systems that provides real-time intelligent alarm notification, data acquisition and remote control from a multitude of telecommunication devices. This new version includes more than 25 new features and enhancements not found in earlier versions.

The software is one of the initial new offerings of the company's new Advanced Client Technology (ACT): a series of new multi-client access technologies and software tools designed to help companies seamlessly integrate critical, real-time plant floor data captured by FactorySuite and to the rest of their business enterprise operations.

More than an enterprise-wide telephony and messaging system, the software serves as an interactive extension of human-machine interface (HMI) software systems, turning any PC into a communications command center that can monitor the entire network 24/7, and delivering the right information to the right person at the right time. The software lets operators hear the details of an alarm and then resolve it via the telephone. It also intelligently vocalizes alarms over speakers, intercom systems, radios and telephones, and sends alphanumeric text messages and/or emails.

A partial list of SCADAlarm enhancements includes the following:
• Extensive email support and notification options, including supervisory
email reports when alarm is activated, acknowledged and cleared
• WAV to VOX sound file conversion utility
• Several new voice modem drivers
• Completely new HMI and enhanced Windows conventions

• Integrated logger can mail SCADAlarm logfile on scheduled intervals
• Content-sensitive help at any time by pressing F1
