Powerful Solutions

Alarms: Under complete control.
The powerful Movicon™ 11 alarm management guarantees maximum precision in managing events and provides users with a rich source of information consenting continuous and immediate knowledge on how the plant is running, enabling them to improve on reducing production standstills and improve efficiency.  The Alarms are managed for default according to the ISA S-18 normative, but they are completely customizable, by being managed as objects with numerous properties adaptable to every need.  The activation/interval thresholds, fixed or changeable, determine alarm activation by managing four standard operating statuses (ON, OFF, ACK and RST), and consequently displayed in object orientated Active Alarm windows with numerous filter options (by time, area, priority, period, etc.) with the option to combine dynamic help and guidelines in external files (CHM, HTML, PDF).


Alarm Dispatcher
Unmanned or remote plant systems must guarantee and relay information immediately to on-call duty staff to prevent prolonged production downtimes and delayed production deadlines. All project alarms are configurable for this situation type to notify users. The Movicon™ Alarm Dispatcher, notifies events, sends alarm alerts to staff using the Voice technology (Text-To-Speech telephone notifications with voice synthesis), with SMS, E-Mail or by Fax. The supported Ms Messenger is a ‘must have’ for plant systems connected in net 24/24 (local or web network). Notifications are sent to assigned Users or User Groups. Messages can be sent according to customizable time schedules, calendar dates, work shifts, and on-call duty staff shifts.


Production Statistical Downtime Analysis
Tools capable of statically analysing machine downtimes during production runtimes are crucial to factory production and maintenance managers. The data analysis quickly singles out any critical points within the production process to allow plant system efficiency and productivity improvements. Your productivity cannot be improved without this information.

Secure Data Always.
All acquired process data from a supervision system is usually recorded and filed for further analysing.  This data guarantees production managers all the information they need on the process in order to carry out the necessary analysis to improve their productivity, pinpoint and isolate anomalous behaviour.  The Scada’s mission is to consent data aggregation in the simplest way possible and allow recording and file management modalities to be defined and setup in the most appropriate way suited.
This important job is thoroughly done by Movicon™ based on the concepts of simplicity, reliability and openness. Movicon™ has three recording engines, based on a ODBC Manager model to guarantee maximum performance in data precision and openness in choosing the most suited data format at the same time.  Movicon™ supports all relational DBs via ODBC but will automatically uses the Microsoft SQL Server™ for default, if not specified otherwise.  One recording engine has been designated the task of recording process data using the Data Logger resource, another engine has been designated to the Event Log and the last one designated to the powerful and sophisticated variable Tracing management (ie. the Audit Trail).
As an alternative to using the ODBC recording engines, Movicon™ also provide you with the IMDB manager (In Memory DB), which permits you to record data (Data Loggers, Events or any other data) on simple text format files (.DAT o .XML), which then can be encrypted to allow recorded data to be only viewed exclusively through the Movicon™ controlled access modalities.  The historical log management in IMDB can also be activated in part, which is particularly intended for Embedded systems, which require crypted data.
