OPC Standards Based Alarm Integration Software

Alarms & Notifications Plug-In

Augment your OPC A&E and OPC UA A&C  alarm sources by generating alarms off of any data you can get into the DataHub into a common alarm namespace.  Templates drive configuration & management scalability.  

• Generate Alarms as the primary source using live data from OPC DA, OPC UA, spreadsheet, Modbus, DDE, and other data sources
• Define templates for different states and conditions for scalable configuration of 1000's of points easily and automatically
• Bind the templates to data point changes and emit data point changes and alarms, but also create data points such as Average, Mean, Max, Standard deviation
• Configure messages and trigger custom scripts.
• Deliver notifications to other Notification or Callout applications you may already use, using OPC A&E or OPC UA A&C
• Send notifications
  • by email and SMS.
  • via social media (using a Twilio subscription)
• Send alerts based off external alarm sources, using OPC A&E or OPC UA A&C to connect to the sources

Alarm Aggregation

A strength of DataHub is it's ability to integrate with other alarm sources, aggregate the information, which brings several benefits:

• Reduce load on data sources when multiple clients need the same data 
• Protect control networks and data sources by controlling data collection rates in the DataHub vs from the clients (Case study)
• Some client applications require licenses for each data source you connect to - make DataHub that one data source and reduce your licensing costs for other applications. 
• Combine data from different sources into namespaces/folders that group data by system, site, etc vs source

Alarm Redundancy 

Because alarm data is critical we often encounter applications where there are redundant alarm sources, network paths, OPC servers and clients. 

Using the DataHub redundancy feature, there are a wide range of scenarios that can be implemented to insure the message gets to where it needs to.
