conveyed to all responsible persons: by
SMS, e-mail, siren or light. Users’ reactions
are documented in a so-called audit trail:
Alarms registered, Measures taken,...
As responsibilities in each business or-
ga nisation are individually regulated, the
alarm concept has to be adapted to the
respective conditions accordingly. This
means that the user can adjust the alarm
con guration to meet his speci c require-
ments. For example:
• Each sensor has a pre-alarm and main
alarm that is set off by deviations both
above and below the prescribed value
parameters.
• Each deviation results in a warning mes-
sage on the computer which is coupled
with – if desired – an alarm siren.
• Each alarm has to be con rmed and
documented in the audit trail.
Sensors can be de ned in any groups
in the measuring chain. This is done
by a logical allocation in the software.
Advantage: not dependent on phys ical wi-
ring, high  exibility, less error-prone, and
simple possibilities for adjustment.
With the aid of additional hardware, SMS
and e-mails (including the escalation pro-
cedure) can be sent and con rmation re-
quested. For example: a pre-alarm alert is
sent to worker A. If no con rmation is sent
by Worker A within 15 minutes, then the
pre-alarm alert is sent to worker B, etc.
Depending on the con guration, it is pos-
sible to store up to 12 different telephone
numbers. The send- and receive protocols
manage 80 entries. Various settings such
as “active- and forwarding-functions” can
be set for several alarms. For example:
due to different operation on the week-
end in comparison to the normal working
week.
Lufft cannot afford any fl aws, and
especially not when companies have
to react as quickly as possible. Phar-
maceutical- and clean room applica-
tions are excellent examples of this,
where pos sible deviations require
immediate action. For this reason
Lufft has a special alarm concept to
safe guard the measurement pro-
cess. This is an alarm system with
various applications, which can be
individually tailored to the respective
requirements without any problem.
Real-time data acquisition has a decis-
ive advantage: it makes critical condi-
tions instantly visible. As long as all ba-
sic conditions remain within green limits,
the system  les all the measured values
and ensures complete documentation. If
there are too many particles in the air or
the climate drifts into “tropical” long-term
analysis, then actions have to be taken
immediately!
Hence, the main focus of this task lies
within an application suitable alarm
concept, which is situated in an “active
process”. This means that the alarm is
No matter what your
organigram looks like
for this important task,
our alarm system can be
implemented.
