Alarm Management

Group alarms, see what comes first and know who acknowledged what.

Alarm cards: a critical pump fault with acknowledge and shelve buttons, alarm group chips and an alarm state timeline of active, acknowledged, shelved and history.
Alarm management screen: alarm counts by plant, alarm load by priority, the alarm history table, and the alarm and operator event log below.

Put alarms into groups

Build nested alarm groups, each with its own counter. Operators acknowledge alarms one by one, by group or all at once.

Two workers at a desk in a production facility look at two monitors: the YTCC screen editor on the left and the runtime screen on the right, both with the process diagram and charts of an example water treatment plant.

Spot chattering alarms and alarm floods

YTCC detects chattering alarms and alarm floods and marks them in the list. You set the threshold, hysteresis and on-delay for each alarm.

Frequently asked questions

Can I acknowledge alarms as a group?

"Acknowledge group" acknowledges every alarm in a group. Each acknowledgement is logged under the user's name, and you can add a comment when you acknowledge one or several alarms.

Can I take an alarm off the list for a while?

Yes, by shelving it. You write a reason and pick how long, or keep it shelved until you unshelve it yourself.

Can I export the alarm history?

Yes. Download the alarm history as Excel or CSV and the command log as Excel.
