GENCOM 3000
Supervisory and Alarming Computer System
GemCom 3000
is an easy to use system for facility monitoring. A minimum system consists of a Pentium
class computer, one I/O panel with16 data input / 8 alarm relay output board and GenCom 3000
software package. It monitors up to 250 data points. Each data point can be:
GenCom3000 stores
the point data on the monitoring computer for up to one year or more.
Users can review, modify, graph and print the point data at any time.
Remote access is possible through a dial-up modem, local LAN or internet access.
Remote users can review, modify, graph and print all information same as local
users.
The computer will allow an operator to
display the floor plan of the facility with each data point designated and the
current reading displayed. During
normal operations, the GenCom3000 compares these values to two sets of high and
low alarms for each individual data type.
If a data point exceeds one of these limits for a specified period of
time, GenCom3000 initiates one or two of eight alarm routines for each data
point, activating pre-assigned alarm relays.

Layout
Shows a rendition of the facility layout.
Layouts can be in vivid color and can spread out to multiple pages. Each data point such as temperature point, refrigeration case, cooler,
freezer and system that GenCom3000 monitors is depicted with their current
status and alarm condition alarm condition indicated by their color or reading. The operating parameters can be adjusted by “clicking” on
the icon and making the appropriate changes on the worksheet that appears.
Should a point be in alarm, the alarm can be acknowledged by check mark the
acknowledgement cell.

Data
Point graph
Selected data point in shown in graphic format. X-axis is the time
and date. User can zoom in, zoom out or pan to an area within the graph. Up to
seven days of data can be shown in one screen. The graph can be printed out or
exported to a file.
Alarm
Each data point has two levels of high
alarm and two levels of low alarm. All data, once collected, is compared to a unique list
of alarm parameters. All alarm parameters have
alarming time delays. Data point to
be greater than or less than the alarm level for a minimum amount of time before
activating the alarming routines. Each
data point may exceed its alarm values briefly during normal operations, then
recover to normal levels. Not all equipment parameters have to be set to
activate alarms, some can be monitored to provide a serviceman additional data
to solve problems. Alarm log keeps history of local and remote alarms set and
reset events.
Date
point alarms can be grouped together as alarm groups. Each alarm group has local
alarm and remote alarm. Each alarm group can activate up to four alarm relays. The
Gencom3000 Alarm Schemes are designed to allow the local maintenance staff the
ability to identify and fix most problems prior to activating any call out alarm
procedures. If the problem is not
solved or is beyond the capabilities of the local staff, the Gencom3000
Monitoring System will then activate the “Call Out” or “Remote” alarm
procedures.
The Local Alarm
should normally consist of an audio-visual alarm device located within the
facility that will alert the facility personnel of an alarm condition.
The Call Out or
Remote Alarm activates a relay contact that should be connected to an alarm
monitoring panel or dial out device.
Security and Password Access
GenCom3000 has
four levels of user access that restricts user get access to different parts of
the functions within the program. All activities are logged to identify the users
and access activities.
