Device-independent scada event notification
October 2005
SCADA/HMI
Wonderware is now offering Version 6.0 of its SCADAlarm event notification software. SCADAlarm 6.0 enables realtime intelligent alarm and event notification, data acquisition and remote control from telecommunication devices. It is an integral part of Wonderware's scada software solutions, which offer several unique features, making good use of the ArchestrA industrial automation and information software architecture. This new release can greatly benefit companies looking to implement a new scada solution or upgrade an existing system.
SCADAlarm 6.0 includes support for TAPI (telephony application programming interface) hardware. TAPI support enables the SCADAlarm software to be device-independent and enables users to choose standard off-the-shelf, inexpensive modems that are readily available on the market.
"This new release provides many opportunities for customers to lower their total costs of ownership, while significantly reducing the time spent on software administration and management," says Justin Tweedie, Futuristix MD. "In addition, SCADAlarm 6.0 leverages new technological advances and incorporates many valuable features requested by our customers."
SCADAlarm 6.0 includes new features such as automatic text-to-speech conversion, built-in communication with the Wonderware Industrial Application Server, enhanced support for configuring and acknowledging alarms from the Industrial Application Server and InTouch HMI and enhanced security with support for caller identification.
As an enterprise-wide telephony and messaging system, SCADAlarm software turns any PC into a communications command centre. It can monitor an entire network 24/7, ensuring constant communication with the automation system.
