'Messenger' is an MS-Windows based alarm management & dispatching system. Redirection of alarms and messages from unattended stations towards fault clearing service or operators. Origin & content sensitive message distribution with a hierarchical fallback mechanism (incase an operator does not respond in time)
'Messenger' can accept and dispatch alarms through various channels. Text-based alarm messages can be received & send through a/o SMS, E-mail, TCP/IP and Serial-ports. Values can be sensed and actuators are signaled through a/o OPC, MODBUS and Serial-ports. Scripting can be used to pre-process incoming messages and re-format outgoing messages, which makes 'Messenger' extremely flexible for interfacing with custom systems.
