IDX Alarms and Events Minimize

IDX Alarms and Events allows you to intelligently send human readable alarm and event messages via email and SMS, based on simple or complex heirarchical alarm logic linked to IDX Tag values. This flexibilty allows, for example, complete plant states to be aggregated, with the result being that an alarm message will only be sent on critical events, such as a plant or factory stop, and not on minor alarms. 

No PLC programming is necessary - as long as the tags containing the states of interest can be read by IDX Data Exchange, practically any alarm configuration is possible. 

IDX Alarms and Events provides and full alarm and contact message logging, to form a complete event audit trail.
