Remote Alarm Telemetry System (RATS)
System Attributes
Windows© based application running on diskless solid-state XP embedded systems:
Interfaces - Digital I/O
Core processes - OfficeCraft software and libraries written in Delphi.
Overview
The Remote Alarm Telemetry System (RATS), is a special form of the System Status Monitor (SSM)
produced to monitor and report on the power conditioning systems feeding various on-line mainframe
computer systems.
In essence it is an SSM using its own passive sensors and a fast response alarm system combined
with the ability to use mobile telephony alerts (See the OfficeCraft SCRAMBEL system).
Key Technologies Used
| Windows | RATS is designed for compatibility with Windows© 95OSR2; 98SE; 2000; XP and Vista. |
| Delphi | The application is written entirely in Delphi and using OfficeCraft Delphi libraries. |
| Serial Comms | Digital I/O via standard RS232 and a specialized serial interface used to drive external sirens and/or other alarm devices. |
| Electronic notification | The sending of pre-determined messages via electronic communications, to both fixed and mobile receivers. |
System Highlights
The Remote Alarm Telemetry System (RATS), is a special form of the OfficeCraft produce System
Status Monitor (SSM); that uses a limited but fast response input interface, to constantly
monitor the state of the powering systems feeding a mainframe processor complex, using
no-obtrusive, passive sensing.
It was designed to use a touch sensitive man-machine interface, and to provide alarm alerts
via mobile communications.
