Alarm Management System

AMETEK introduced SERNET, a web-based alarm management system that captures critical alarms with one millisecond precision. SERNET is a network-enabled alarm manager that captures critical alarms in the sequence they occur for a quick determination of the root cause. The alarms are displayed on a web browser hosted by the SERNET. For easy analysis real-time outputs are included via serial and Ethernet ports for connection to DCS, PLC and other plant monitoring HMI software systems. Each SERNET unit is able to store 40,000 events for long-term data storage and can operate as a stand-alone system monitoring up to 48 digital inputs, or multiple SERNET units can be networked together to form a larger system with all events consolidated into a single chronological list as they occur. SERNET units can be located throughout a plant in close proximity to the alarms eliminating long wire runs.
