Alarm Notification Module

The alarm notification module (introduced for Ignition version 7.6.0) adds the ability to send out notification messages when alarms go active and when they clear. This module provides the functionality outlined below, and then other modules can extend it to provide additional notification capabilities, like phone support.

Notification Pipelines

Alarm notification pipelines are logic diagrams that control how alarm notifications are sent out, including who they are sent to and when. They can be used to achieve many advanced alarming scenarios, such as delays, escalation, and parallel delivery. They are designed using a drag-and-drop designing interface through the Ignition Designer.

Email Notification Profile

The Alarm Notification Module includes the ability to send alarm notifications via email. Users who receive these emails are also able to acknowledge the alarm by visiting a link contained in the email.
