DESIGO building automation system

Alarm Router
The Alarm Router application provides highly effective building management.
Important messages or events in the building automation and control system are
transferred to specific receivers without the need for any user action at the
management station. Alarm Router is a background application which starts when
DESIGO INSIGHT is started, whether or not a user or site is connected. Alarms
and important system events can be transferred via the following media:
• Printers
• Faxes
• Pagers
• Mobile phones
• E-mail systems
Criteria for alarm
routing
Alarms can be grouped according to various criteria. A routing table defines the
conditions under which these alarm groups are routed to the assigned receivers.
The alarm messages are routed to alternative receivers in the event of connection
problems. The criteria include the following, for example:
• Time schedules and exceptions (e.g. at night, switch to the printer in the security
guard's office).
• Responsibility for the site (e.g. send a fax to the company responsible for
maintaining the system).
• Urgency of the alarm (e.g. call resident engineer via pager only in the event of high
priority alarms).
