Windmill Alarm Logger

Alerts by Telephone, Sound, Light and Computer screen

Whenever Alarm Logger finds a channel that is in alarm, it pops into the foreground of the computer screen and beeps. It can also play an audio file through a sound card, switch on a buzzer or light (for example) and telephone an engineer. The engineer telephoned could use a modem link to dial-up and examine the list of unacknowledged alarms, and view a copy of a logged data file to determine the appropriate action.

Minimise False Alarms

Alarm Logger software also allows delays to be inserted between an alarm being registered and an output being switched - useful in reducing the instances of false alarms. If, say, the temperature of a freezer was to momentarily rise when the freezer lid was opened; the alarm would not activate unless the temperature remained over the limit for a certain time.

Run over Network

It is easy to run Alarm Logger over an Ethernet network, as it actually consists of three programs: a Setup, a Monitor and a Viewer. The Alarm Setup configures the system, letting you set such things as the time between alarm checks or an advisory message to be displayed when a specific alarm occurs. The Alarm Monitor watches the hardware for alarms. When the Monitor flags an alarm, the Alarm Viewer tells engineers about it.

Alarms Recorded

You can tell Alarm Logger that you're aware of the alarm and not to report it again until a set time has passed, so acknowledging the alarm. Alarm Logger will record alarms, and the action taken, in a file.

Alarm Logger can periodically close one log file and open a new one, creating a new file every day for example. You could also set a maximum number of files to keep, such as just those from the last 7 days. This lets you use Alarm Logger for extended periods without filling the hard disk.
