6.7 System safety
High availability is expected from the building automation and control system. This
results in greater data availability, greatly reducing any down times.
Specified product: Siemens / Desigo System or similar
6.8 Alarm generation
The system must be able to generate alarms based on events that are reaching
the management station directly from the field level. The system must also provide
a functionality for creating management station alarms that are configurable and
satisfy the needs of event management, even for devices that are not supporting
alarming natively.
Specified product: Siemens / Desigo System or similar
6.9 Message handling
The building management system must support alarms generated at the
automation level (substations).
Specified product: Siemens / Desigo CC or similar
6.10 Notification of alarms
6.10.1 Media independent formats
Current alarms may need to be routed independent of media at certain times to a
central service (Email, SMS, pagers, and mobile apps).
The number of data points that can be configured for remote messaging of alarm
conditions as well as the number of remote devices that may receive system
messages may not be limited. The system must support the sending of encrypted
e-mails.
Specified product: Siemens / Desigo CC or similar
6.10.2 Multi-level alarm escalation
It shall be possible that unacknowledged notifications can be forwarded to
additional devices of the same person and/or different groups of people to ensure
that notifications are received on time to react properly.
Specified product: Siemens / Desigo CC or similar
6.10.3 Exclude recipients
The system must be able to exclude recipients, for example, when they are on
vacation, so that when excluded, they do not receive any notifications.
Specified product: Siemens / Desigo CC or similar
6.10.4 Import recipients from Active Directory
It shall be possible that recipients can be imported/exported from/into CSV or XML
formatted files. A regular automatic import of Active Directory import into the
recipient DB shall be supported too. This helps to reduce the maintenance effort for
recipients, when mobile numbers or email addresses change.
