Windows^TM Client Software for BACnet^TM Systems

If you're a developer, building owner or facility manager with multi-vendor BACnet^TM systems, chances are you can't get all the specialized application programs you need to make your facility work properly and inter-operate across vendors. If you've looked at other BACnet workstation software, you know that there's a big difference between them when it comes to alarm management. If your application requirements include management of alarm and event notifications from BACnet devices, then you need fast, flexible, high-performance workstation tools. You need software that works with every kind of BACnet event notification. You need BDAlarm^TM.

The BACdoor^TM Alarm Manager (BDAlarm) is a high-performance, completely configurable, BACnet alarm client. BDAlarm runs under Windows 98, NT4, Me, 2000 or XP, and provides a robust set of alarm management and response features tailored to the needs of application designers.

The BDAlarm interface is simple and compact. A "one line" mode allows for summary displays of alarm information on single lines with key information displayed. Clicking on the column headings above the alarm list resorts the displayed items according to that column.

One click switches the display to a verbose mode where alarm details are easily viewed. The multi-line format shows all of the information that can be provided in a BACnet Event Notification.

BDAlarm is extremely flexible and allows you to easily program triggers that respond to different kinds of alarm and event notifications. This dialog shows some of the many options available. Triggers can respond to arbitrary combinations of the data presented in event notification fields, such as the device instance, class, from and to states, alarm type etc. There can be multiple response actions taken including printing of files containing instructions or documents, executing other programs, displaying multimedia elements such as specific sounds or video, as well as text messaging. Since an arbitrary number of triggers may be defined, BDAlarm is a powerful tool for programming an enormous range of responses to BACnet alarm and event notifications.
