Introduction

Our Alarms module provides tools offer a range variety of features that enable users to configure and manage alarms based on different parameters , such as like process values, system performance, and equipment status. It allows users to Users can set up alarm thresholds and conditions , such as high and low limits, time delays, and hysteresis , to trigger alarms when specific events or conditions occur.

This module also Our platform provides various notification options , such as like email, SMS, and pop-up messages , to alert users of any critical events or conditions. It supports escalation procedures, enabling allowing users to define and manage different levels of alarm escalation , ensuring that for prompt response to critical events are addressed promptly and appropriately.

Finallt, the alarm module includes a range of Additionally, diagnostic tools and features that enable users to monitor and analyze are included for monitoring and analyzing alarm performance and history. It provides realReal-time alarm status and performance data , allowing help users to identify patterns and trends in alarm behavior and optimize alarm , optimizing alarm management accordingly.

Key Functionalities


Features Highlights

The Alarms module provides several key features:

  • AlarmHistorian: Allows saving alarms and their state changes in a separate database, distinct from AuditTrail, which only saves when editing settings.
  • Alarm Window object: Used for displaying active alarms and their state changes on displays.
  • Real-time alarm processing: Ensures quick identification and response to critical events.
  • Hierarchy organization: Alarms can be organized and managed hierarchically for greater flexibility and control.
  • Universal time and daylight saving: Timestamps are accurately recorded, considering universal time and daylight saving time.
  • Dynamic language localization: Alarm messages can be dynamically localized for easy understanding across languages.
  • High-precision timestamps: Supports high-precision timestamps up to 0.1 milliseconds for accurate and reliable data recording.


Real-time Alarm Processing Processing  

The Alarm module was created on developed using pure .NET managed code, with incorporating multi-threading and exception control , for maximum optimal performance and reliability. Combining By integrating the Alarm, Dataset, and Script Modules, you can efficiently log and bookmark various process execution events , like such as downtime, startup, shutdown, batch control, and continuous process analysis.   

Storage and Replication 

Alarm Historian data can be saved stored in any either a local or remote SQL database. When using In cases of redundancy, automatic synchronization of the database is provided. The replication guarantees the accuracy of the the system automatically synchronizes the databases. This replication ensures that both servers maintain the exact same data on both servers, even when if they are using use different providers, guaranteeing data accuracy.  

 

OSIsoftTM PI EFTM Event Frames 

The system also has a seamless, SDK level, connectivity seamlessly integrates with PI BatchTM and PI EFTM for at the SDK level, facilitating data presentation, charts charting, and custom data management.   

Universal Time and Daylight Saving  Saving  

Our platform utilizes Coordinated Universal Time FrameworX leverages (UTC) Coordinated Universal Time on for all logging and online date-time objects; so . This ensures that Alarms, Events, and Historical data are accurately time stamped for when they happened, no matter where you are located timestamped regardless of your location or any daylight saving settings.  

 

Audit Trail and Alarm Areas 

Easily activate audit trail with a single click to track One-click configuration to enable audit trail on Operator Actions, Database and Reports Events, User logon and logoff, System events, and custom tags events. Data All data is securely archived in SQL tables with encryption defined by the project defined encryption.   

Alarm Visualization Component 

Access the built-in graphical alarm visualizer seamlessly across PCsNo matter if you are on a PC, web browsers, or iPad, a built-in graphical visualizer for alarms is provided. FilteringiPads. Enjoy a range of features including filtering, SQL queries, grouping, printing, saving, acknowledging, and exporting are some of the built-in features included.   alarms with ease.

Notification Subscription 

Project scripts , with have full access to the entire Microsoft .NET Framework , and can easily subscribe to alarm events to implement . This enables the implementation of custom actions , such as notification and calculation methods.  

 

Store and Forward 

When using utilizing remote databases, our platform offers a "store and forward option is provided, so " option. This means that a local cache is created , to store data while the connection is not available unavailable, and then forwards the data when once the database connection is reestablished.   

Localization 

Online messages Messages and query results retrieved from the Alarm Historian database can be instantly translated on the fly to into local languages based on using automated dictionaries.
