The
Alarm Manager Service is a configurable application for monitoring data from
the Altitude system and generating alarms based on various criteria. These
alarms can then be used by the Alerts Service to send emails, SMS messages, set
tag values (for example, to switch on external sounders) play WAV sound files
and/or print details etc. to notify users of potential problems.
These alarm details are also made available on
the Altitude Web Client in an Alarm List for viewing and acknowledging. For
larger systems the Control Centre can be used together with the Alarm Monitor
Client application to monitor and acknowledge thousands of alarms.
