Create Alarm/Control Formulas to Automatically Correlate Alarm Inputs and Issue Control Commands

A high-quality master includes support for derived controls - user-defined formulas for automatically operating remote site equipment in response to alarm inputs. In the example shown, the master detects the failure of AC power and sends a control signal to start the backup generator.

Derived controls can be made even more useful with derived alarms - formulas that combine and correlate alarm inputs through simple Boolean logic. You can create derived alarms for many different combinations of events, such as a failed air conditioner AND high temperature, or excessive heat OR excessive cold. You can also create derived alarms for highly complex events, even notifications for when scheduled events, like equipment self-tests, don't happen on time.

Used together, derived controls and derived alarms allow you to automate extremely complex and intelligent responses to emergencies.
