July 6, 2008 - No one wants to suffer the criticism, expense, or damage caused by an alarm that should have been turned on but wasn’t, or that was effectively disabled when the settings were adjusted during a start up and never reset. Auditing alarm settings identifies discrepancies between a known good alarm profile and a current profile, to ensure that you, your site, your business, and your people are being protected as intended by the alarm system. The LogMate AlarmKB (Knowledge Base) provides a straightforward way to audit alarm settings. The AlarmKB compares two alarm profiles, highlighting differences in a summary of contrasting settings.
The AlarmKB Import Utility (AKBIU) simplifies the audit process by importing control system settings from native configuration files into the AlarmKB. It takes just a few keystrokes to import and compare a configuration file. Imports can be performed on demand or set to run on a predefined schedule. The AKBIU is consistently updated, and is currently compatible with:
