Alarms

Plant alarms and customized alarms

With GPM Portal, you can cyclically analyze the values of the devices in your facility and generate alarms when certain conditions, or "triggers", are met.

Each of these triggers can have a certain priority, and you can configure them so that their activation is only visible for certain roles or users.

When the activation conditions of an alarm are met, this triggers an event in the system that is usually shown in the active alarm panel of the Facility Dashboard. You can configure the alarm to dispatch notifications by email or SMS to predetermined recipients.

When the activation conditions of an alarm stop being met for whatever reason, the alarm is deactivated and the event stops being visible on the Facility Dashboard.

All events, active and inactive, are visible in the History of Alarms.

Alarms are classified into two types: Plant Alarms and Customized Alarms.

• Plant Alarms: These are the most common alarms. They allow common conditions to be defined for all devices of the same type. GPM Portal suggests that you use this group of alarms as a minimum basis for the correct administration of your portfolio.

• Customized Alarms: With customized alarms you can define multi-conditioning activations in great detail. This type of alarms is typically used in a limited manner, for example to define unconventional alarms, or alarms that involve different types of devices and need specific conditions for each one.
