Miksi PLC-Octalarm integration, efficient, flexible, and secure.?

Traditional PLC-to-Octalarm connections caused issues such as complex wiring for each alarm and limited flexibility for changes.
The new solution integrates the Octalarm into the existing company network, enabling alarms to be sent directly and managed centrally.
With scripting and automation, alarms are triggered automatically, reducing manual work.
This creates a flexible, efficient, and centralized alarm system.

Hyödyt

Time Savings: The streamlined process dramatically reduces installation time, making it highly scalable for projects of any size.
Enhanced Security: Octalarm's built-in cybersecurity features help protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access.
Enhanced Reliability: The centralized control and elimination of manual data entry minimize the risk of human error and ensure accurate alarm reporting.
Flexibility: The ability to easily add or modify alarms without physical rewiring provides greater adaptability to changing operational requirements.
Improved Continuity: The solution enhances system reliability and reduces downtime.

Scripting and Automation

We equipped Octalarm with a JavaScript script and leveraged Siemens TIA Portal for programming. This enabled us to create a custom block using Siemens LHTTP libraries, allowing a single bit to trigger alarms within the Octalarm API.
