A flexible, feature-rich solution for reliable and immediate alarm notification from a remote site, allowing support staff to know when, where and why a problem has occurred so they can provide prompt corrective action well before comfort or safety is affected. The SMC-300 captures, buffers, and prioritizes alarms from devices on a local LonWorks® network and then automatically dials-out and routes the alarms to local or remote computers or pagers based on configurable priority, alarm type and schedule. By dialing-out to a remote computer running Circon’s Visual Integrator 3 HMI software, the SMC-300 provides a reliable and economical approach for central monitoring of remote sites. Visual Integrator 3’s comprehensive alarm management functions include displaying alarms the moment they are received, logging alarms in history database and forwarding alarms via email to any email-enabled device.
