Real-time Visual and Audible Notification of Alarms or Events
FuelsManager constantly monitors your system to check for conditions that may require your immediate attention. If an alarm is triggered, FuelsManager provides the tools to help effectively manage the situation in real-time. A wide selection of configurable alarm set points are provided that can be easily enabled to start monitoring your facility. A historical record and audit trail is maintained of all events, allowing your operators to view and print detailed reports. If an alarm event occurs, FuelsManager provides real-time visual and audible feedback to alert your operators. FuelsManager is also able to notify other systems, such as PLC or DCS, to take appropriate control and automation actions.
- Real-time visual and audible notification of alarms or events, including a description, date and time, acknowledgement status and priority, is provided via an integrated alarm toolbar and pop-up alarm notification.
- View and print detailed reports from the alarm log file browser.
- Automatically maintain records of all alarms for future reference.
- Display alarms on SCADA and tank displays using graphics and animations.
- Easy configuration using standard alarm templates, including 32 alarm groups and four alarm priorities, each with its own color and audible attributes
Preconfigured Alarm Settings
Unlike a general SCADA system, FuelsManager provides pre-configured alarm settings for each tank; all you need to do is enable them. It supports multiple alarm groups and alarm priorities, each with its own color and audible attributes. Predefined tank-specific alarms include:
- Tank Level (Low-Low, Low, Maximum Operating, High and High-High)
- Temperature (Low-Low, Low, High and High-High)
- Density (Low and High)
- Tank Transfer (PreStop Gauge and Stop Gauge)
- Idle Tank (an unauthorized movement alarm will be triggered if the level changes outside of a configurable deadband)
- Other standard alarms include; Flow, Pressure, No Flow, Reverse Flow, Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) and Leak Rate.
When an Event Occurs and an Alarm is Raised
When an alarm situation occurs, you are notified regardless of which display is active. If FuelsManager Oil & Gas or the alarm toolbar is minimized, an alarm pop-up provides immediate alarm indication. The alarm toolbar provides audible and visual indication of the highest priority alarm, including priority, date and time, alarm details and type of alarm. Icons in the toolbar provide easy access to more detailed tools, including a graphic or help file associated with this specific alarm or the active alarm summary and alarm history displays. FuelsManager also creates a historic file of all alarms and events. You can use the Log File Browser to access this history, add comments for individual alarms or print logs for any selected day.
