Protecting your plant equipment is a key role of
CitectSCADA. The alarm
facility constantly monitors equipment data and alerts operators
when undesirable events occur, such as a device that is not
responding to input commands.
Two types of alarms are supported:
Hardware
alarms. Diagnostic routines are continually run to check
peripheral equipment, such as I/O Devices. Undesirable conditions
and events are reported automatically to the operator. This
facility is fully integrated within the product; no configuration
is necessary.
Configured
alarms. Unlike hardware alarms, you need to configure the
alarms that report undesirable conditions in your plant (for
example, when a tank level is too high or when a motor
overheats).
