FEATURE HIGHLIGHT
Web Page for alarm acknowledge
Embed acknowledge link in alarm email notification
In TopView, you can now embed a link to a web page that will allow the user to view an item’s details page as well as acknowledge the alarm.
TopView contains an embedded web server which is used by the TopView Mobile Web App. Within the Mobile Web App, each monitored point contains a details page containing an acknowledge button if the item is currently unacknowledged.
A new TopView message placeholder provides a direct link to an alarm item’s details page. This placeholder is supported in alarm messages and notification messages.
APPLICATION STORY
Advanced Alarm Notification Improves Hydro Operations
ARTICLE: Automation.com
When Hydro Electric operations encompass a vast geographic area, early indications of a potential issue can mean the difference between preventing a problem and reacting to one. Having the tools to successfully address alarm conditions early by notifying the appropriate personnel can save a tremendous amount of time and money, and ensure undisrupted power generation.
Brookfield Renewable Energy’s Hydro Operations implemented an advanced warning system to provide notification of potential alarm conditions which has resulted in a better use of personnel, reduced downtime and fewer callouts for maintenance.
