Process alarm software
Exele TopView® process alarm software has several new features to help water and wastewater treatment plants. The software constantly monitors process measurements from instruments and devices throughout a plant and automatically sends alarm messages to designated personnel via cell phones, email, pagers, PCs, and other smart devices immediately when a problem is detected. New features include the availability of summary reports of alarms and conditions that occurred during user-designated time periods; alarm limit deadbands to provide alarm hysteresis; and the ability to assign alarm priorities to each monitored measurement point.
