Key takeaways
- A dialer alongside SCADA gives an independent alarm path when the plant is unmanned.
The challenge
Unmanned nights and weekends
SCADA watched the plant and stations, but no one was there to see it out of hours.
The solution
A Modbus link to SCADA
The Verbatim Gateway takes alarms from SCADA through a Modicon PLC and calls a list until a staff member answers.
The results
Alarms that get through
Staff hear the location and problem in a recorded message, and the dialer keeps calling even if the condition clears.
