STEBalarm

intelligentflexibleeasy to usemodular

2

STEBalarm triggers an alarm when a fault occurs or a

process is interrupted and also provides continuous

monitoring of the function of control systems of

connected constructions. The software solution, which

can be programmed to be escalated in several steps,

coordinates alarms and forwards them to the duty

person as laid down in your on-call plan. This ensures

that you are informed as quickly as possible, also in

extraordinary situations.

STEBalarm is extremely easy to use and yet offers

maximum freedom of configuration. The alarm system

is web-based and access from a mobile phone is

supported. This speeds up decision-making, makes the

on-call system efficient and successful.

STEBalarm has an intuitive user surface. The open,

modular and upgradable alarm system can be added to

one or more units can be integrated at any time.

Never has an alarm system been more intelligent or individual

STEBalarm is individually configurable and compatible with a multiplicity of data links for all standard control systems.

Even isolated, remote structures can be integrated reliably in the STEBalarm system.

Flexible system design, open in the communication

STEBalarm is designed for the widest possible range of

applications: The system design supports stand-alone

solutions as well as local sites with or without process

control system (ARAbella, AQUAbella or REbella).

The system is configured by browser via a web interface

or by the process control system.

In local systems, a head station monitors all devices in

the different building structures. It acts as configuration

centre from which all communication channels are

managed and controlled and can also be used as main

alarm path. On the field level, the alarm units in the

different structures receive the alarms or can trigger

alarms independently and as redundant mode via the

mobile network.

It is also possible to link several STEBalarm solutions to

one process control system.

Stand-alone solution: Each STEBalarm system is individually usable and fully functional.

In a decentralized system configuration, a head station monitors the connected STEBalarm systems of the individual stations. The integration into a process control system of STEBATEC is possible.

STEBalarm triggers alarms optionally by pager, SMS or

e-mail and communicates via TCP, modbus or I/O.

The open and flexible system can be used anywhere.

The modular design of the system supports custom

solutions or programs and can be extended at any time.

STEBalarm works independently but it can also be integrated in and managed by any process control system from STEBATEC.

STEBalarm is configured via browser or web interface

without extra software. The user is not bound to accept

updates or licenses. No additional installations are

required.

The head station in local systems is configured via

browser or process control system. The system com-

munication routing is internal and requires no repeated

inputs. The head station transfers the configuration

directly to the units linked to it. All parameters can be

entered as required by the customer.

STEBalarm is equipped with a constant self-monitoring

function; it checks the activity and function of the com-

ponents linked to it. If a component fails, an alarm is

triggered. Besides, all events are documented and can

be analysed at any time.

Almost all programmable logic controllers of outdoor

constructions can be connected to the alarm units

directly because STEBalarm supports all common

transfer protocols.

STEBalarm displays all faults in the monitored struc-

tures. This provides a ready overview and speeds up

decision-making.

Any parameterization easy to operate

STEBalarm documents all events in an alarm and system log without fail. Many filter options are provided for systematic search.

Alarm can be reset by a click or can be rejected, to forward them immediately.

STEBalarm permits individual on-call planning with

hourly granularity. Rosters can be mapped realistically

(no standard solution from midnight to midnight). The

STEBATEC process control systems also include a soft-

ware solution which actively supports populating the

on-call plans.

The escalation steps can be defined; additional priorities

can be set. In this way, depending on the priority set, the

alarm can be triggered at any time or only during office

hours. For more safety, critical alarms can be sent along

two different channels.

For maintenance, all alarms of a building structure can

be suppressed temporarily so that false alarms are

avoided.

If an on-call worker is already on duty and engaged,

he can reject an incoming alarm by SMS or a click on

the user surface. This causes the alarm to be routed to

the next on-call worker immediately and without loss

of time. Optionally a fairness generator can be enabled

which in the light of past events alarms those workers

first who had the least number of engagements.

The STEBalarm design is redundant. The stations at the

outdoor structures can be equipped with a SIM card to

trigger alarms independently. If a head station fails, the

local station can still send an alarm.

The system is an open system and so the STEBalarm

stations can also work with customized software.

On-call planning no loophole

On-call duty is planned individually on actual hourly basis. STEBalarm applies these to monthly and daily overviews and supports many different presentation options.

STEBalarm supports priority alarm setting. An urgent alarm is transmitted immediately, less urgent alarms only during office hours.

Plants equipped with STEBalarm

ARA Meiringen

This plant treats the waste water of the communities

Meiringen, Hasliberg and Schattenhalb with about 13000

population equivalent. All parts of the plant are equipped

with the STEBalarm system, which is integrated in the

ARAbella process control system from STEBATEC.

AEK Onyx AG

That leading energy supplier in the area of and around

Solothurn operates about 100 heating plants all of

which are equipped with independent alarm solutions.

With STEBalarm, all plants were integrated in a single

solution. The REbella process control and the process

visualization greatly facilitates the operation once more

again.

ARA Le Landeron

STEBalarm and the ARAbella process control

system monitor and control the plant which treats

the waste water of the municipalities of Le Landeron,

La Neuveville, Lignières, and Nods with totally about

15000 population equivalent.

STEBalarm has intentionally been designed as an

open, upgradable modular system. This means

the system remains open to any extension option

at any time.

There are many additional systems that can be

used optionally. In addition to several plug-ins,

this includes a ModbusMapper, for example.

A multi-client capable ModbusMapper transmits

coils (%M) and input bits (%I) to a coil map (%M)

or holding register (%MW) and input register

(%IW) to a holding register-Map (%MW).

The communication state of every single element

can be scanned and a condensed status mes-

sage obtained.

The ModbusMapper is ideal for link-up with

single client modbus devices which are addition-

ally networked with other systems (e.g., PLS),

or when there are many different modbus/TCP

alarm sources.

STEBalarm also permits meter data logging via

M-bus (with Solvimus M-Bus Master) or Modbus.

Data can be read out in many different modes;

data is stored on a server.

STEBalarm has still other functions, for example,

exporting the configuration of the STEBalarm

systems and the additional systems in JSON

format. Conversely, exported configurations

and manually created configurations can be

imported.

And finally other customized functions are always

possible on request. Because flexibility has

always been a distinctive feature of STEBATEC.

Additional systems support meter data logging and other functions.
