7- Application example
The following application example uses a number of terms from different user groups.
A temperature sensor is connected to Input 1. If the temperature gets to high it will have
immediate consequences for the crop. The action list "Crop alarm urgent" should be
activated causing a local alarm to be switched on and the Call List "works managers" to
be activated. The works managers John and Sophie are called out. If the reaction to the
alarm doesn't result in it being turned off within 15 minutes the action list will be restarted
automatically.
The sensor for the substrate feeding is connected to Input 2. A malfunction in this system
also has immediate consequences for the crop. "Crop alarm urgent" will also be activated
in this instance.
The ventilation alarm is connected to Input 3. This is a very urgent malfunction which
always requires both the technicians and the works managers being called out. The
action list "Technical alarm urgent" has been made for this and the Call Lists ""Works
managers" and "Technical staff" are linked to it. If the reaction to the alarm doesn't result
in its being turned off within 5 minutes the action list will be restarted automatically.
The alarm from the feed computer on Input 4 isn't urgent. It is better that the bugs wait
until the following morning for this to be solved and because of this the time clock control
is active in the "Not urgent" action list. Alarms are only reported during the day from
08:00 to 17:00 and it's also not necessary to activate the local alarms.
The Pump malfuction on Input 5 isn't urgent either but is intended for the technical staff.
The action list "Technical, not urgent" is used for this.
In this example the employees Sophie, John, Jack and Martin are responsible for responding
to the alarm. Sophie is the works manager and John is her assistant. Jack and Martin are only
responsible for technical matters with Jack being group leader. The following authorisations
have been defined for administrating the dialer: Sophie is the only person who makes settings
relating to responding to alarms. She has the authorisation of "administrator". John and Jack
have to be able to change the call sequence in case of illness or holidays. They have the
authorisation of "assistant administrator". Martin has to be able to reset the alarm if there are
malfunctions but he never changes settings. He has the authorisation "Only reset".
The following diagram shows how the dialer should be set up.
