Do you need to improve how quickly and accurately you can address abnormal situations before they impact operations? Join us for a Webinar this May to learn how to do just that with WIN-911’s software. By pairing WIN-911 with SCADA/HMI software it’s possible to filter on specific alarms and enable instant notification (via Smartphone App, Voice Calls, SMS/Text and Email) to specific users so they can react quickly to those alarms most critical to your process. In this webinar we will learn more about WIN-911, how it is integrated with InduSoft Web Studio, and how you can use both to create smart HMI/SCADA applications that allow you to react quickly to alarms.
7. WIN-911 is a system of modular components working together to
provide alarm notification and information access.
Data Sources – manage alarm and data points and
interaction with SCADA
Dispatcher – logic engine driving strategic notification.
(Tactics and Strategies)
Notifiers – manage contact points and interaction with
notification providers; handle interaction with end user at
runtime (e.g. Email via SMTP and IMAP/POP3)

Polices for
WHEN to
take action
Alarms trigger Strategies utilize Tactics
Callout List
or ACTION
WHAT
Happened
Strategies & Tactics
Technician can respond faster and reduce downtime
Engineer has visibility of the system and can plan for future upgrades
Address failure points
Perform quality control on the process
Management has visibility of the system
Flexibility to change scheduling
Notified if alarms aren’t responded to
Security
Alerted in case of emergency
Also can directly tie into Emergency services
(ties back to New Zealand application)
Strategies and tactics can be difficult to understand for a new user
Alarm occurs
A strategies is executed and decides what actions to take
A callout list “Tactic” is launched from the strategy
Strategy
Policies for when to take action
Example
Alarm System Check is active
what happens when this occurs?
Execute a certain callout list
Easily configure delays and retries from Basic Tactic screen
Quickly add, remove, and reorder contacts
All alarm notification methods will follow notify out of the same notification queue
Tactics are workflow callout lists
To create any tactic Basic or advanced, you must know who you want to notify when an event occurs
In the example on this slide, an event happens and some strategy calls the tactic shown
Check if the Tag/block is called “WTP Storage Tank Alarms”
If not end tactic
If yes, check if it has a severity above 750
If not wait 10 minutes and contact the WTP operators
If the severity is greater than 750 immediately contact WTP operators and the mangers
Schedules
Configure using an outlook type calendar
Utilization
This tab is used to see if any WIN-911 item (schedule, role, label, contact, etc.) is used elsewhere
Utilization is helpful if you wish to add/delete items, so you can see where the item is used
