Alarm Cast Gateway for CIMPLICITY:  How it Works

Alarm Cast Gateway for CIMPLICITY is another product in the Alarm Cast suite of products. Alarm Cast Alarm Manager Gateway can reside on your Alarm Cast Alarm Manager Server or access an Alarm Cast Alarm Manager Server over a LAN or WAN connection.

The Alarm Cast Gateway for CIMPLICITY provides a bridge between CIMPLICITY project alarms and the Alarm Cast Alarm Manager Server.  Various routing rules can be defined by selecting available Resources, Alarms, Classes and alarm message text that have been configured in a CIMPLICITY project. When one of these rules is met, message text can be dispatched to Alarm Cast Server, including embedding alarm and point values within the message text.

There are four valid alarm states that may be configured for each Routing Rule:

State The alarm:
Generate Has gone into an active state.
Acknowledged Is acknowledged either:
  • Manually by an operator in the Alarm Viewer.
  • Automatically (The point alarm is set up to Auto Ack).
Reset
  • Is back either:
  • Manually by an operator in the Alarm Viewer.
  • Automatically reset.
Delete Has been terminated after meeting the Deletion Requirements.
