Exele TopView® software can monitor thousands of process measurements from instruments and devices throughout a plant. When a problem occurs, the software immediately delivers a customizable alarm message to an escalating queue of appropriate personnel without the need for control room intervention. It works seamlessly with most SCADA, PLC, and historian set-ups. User-designated alarms can be delivered as emails, cell phone messages, pager notices, text-to-speech voice annunciation, audible alarms over speakers, and text messages. Users can create custom messages for each tag point, so personnel can receive a detailed description of the problem as well as its exact location. Also, remote access and acknowledge communication is supported through dial-in phone, PC, and Windows Mobile devices, so personnel can easily interrogate the status of a specific measurement at any time from any location. Installation, set-up, and start-up of the software are fast and easy. In addition to providing alarms on current tag values, it can send alarms based on calculations and operations.
