| Flexible alarm notification
U.C.ME-OPC™ can concurrently dial up to four telephone numbers, play voice messages, send emails, SMS and messages to pagers, and play alarms to local multimedia loudspeakers. View Screenshot
Bidirectional communication
U.C.ME-OPC™ allows two-way communication between users (such as technicians, field engineers or managers) and the control system. Users receive alarm notifications yet can also change set-points, acknowledge alarms, listen to real-time values, execute programs, and a range of other actions – directly from their cell phone or landline.

Escalation procedure - eliminating nuisance alarms at their source
The effectiveness of alarm systems is often undermined by poorly configured alarms, static alarm settings that can’t adapt to dynamic plant conditions - and a host of other reasons. U.C.ME-OPC™’s sophisticated escalation procedure is a customizable alarm delivery feature that sends alarms to alternative recipients. When a recipient acknowledges the alarm, further unnecessary repeat alarm notifications are prevented – reducing nuisance alarms and reducing costs.
Detailed, real-time alarm analysis
By providing additional plant floor parameters set to your cell phone, U.C.ME-OPC™ provides you with more, detailed information so you can have the complete picture at the moment of an alarm for a more accurate response. Alarms and alarm-snapshot information are stored in an MS-Access™ or MS-SQL™ database. The data may be viewed from any computer on the network using a standard browser, such as Internet Explorer, for offline analysis and reporting at a later time.
Connects with every SCADA
U.C.ME-OPC™ connects with any SCADA, including RSView™, Cimplicity™, iFix™, InTouch™, Citect™, Lookout™, ClearSCADA™, Infilink™, Wizcon™ and more.
Communication with remote devices
U.C.ME-OPC™ can be programmed to receive text messages (SMS) from remote devices. Taking this information, U.C.ME-OPC™ can create and send more detailed alarm messages for greater efficiency and to enable faster responses.
Native Text Messaging(SMS) via cellular modem - eliminating Internet security threats
Unlike other software packages that require continuous Internet connection to send email-to-cellular messages, U.C.ME-OPC™ uses native text messaging via cellular modems, which means your control system is completely protected from Internet security threats.

Alarm Import from your SCADA
U.C.ME-OPC™ allows for alarm import from your SCADA with one click of a button. This makes your job easier, reducing the chance of errors in alarm definition.
Shifts and special days
U.C.ME-OPC™ can notify recipients according to predefined prioritized shift schedules. Users may also specify special days, such as holidays, in which the shift priorities are different from the regular week.

SMS - Local language translations
U.C.ME-OPC™ enables you to translate various texts to your local language. For example, the text "Alarm started" or "Alarm ended", attached to the SMS message, may be translated to any language.
Server watchdog mechanism
U.C.ME-OPC™ runs a watchdog mechanism with the OPC or DDE server software. When the server (SCADA) is not operating, U.C.ME-OPC™ will notify the appropriate users. View Screenshot
Groups management
With U.C.ME-OPC™, administrators can define recipient groups for easier alarm maintenance.

Alarm families
If many alarms behave similarly, users may define alarm families to facilitate alarm definition.

Runs as a Microsoft® Windows® service
The service operates before a user has logged in and continues to operate after the user has logged off. If the service fails, recovery actions can be set up, such as restarting the service automatically or restarting the computer (for computers running Windows® 2000, XP and Vista only).
Multiple OPC-server connectivity
U.C.ME-OPC™ communicates with multiple OPC servers and with industrial automation software (SCADA) via OPC or DDE.
Log function
U.C.ME-OPC™ records all alarms, responses and other activities, and the alarm history may be viewed and analyzed on any computer via Internet/Intranet. This feature ensures a complete and thorough monitoring of every activity for enhanced efficiency and flexibility.
