Alarms and warnings that reach the right person.
Rook SCADA prioritises every fault and routes it by category: trips to operators, escalations to supervisors, generation updates to owners. Each one has a full acknowledgement trail.
What is SCADA alarm management?
SCADA alarm management is how a monitoring system detects abnormal conditions, ranks them by urgency and makes sure someone responds. In Rook SCADA, alarms and warnings from every turbine and inverter are prioritised, categorised and sent to the role responsible, and each one is tracked until it is acknowledged.
Faster response to faults means less downtime, and more generation from the same assets.
Built so no fault goes unnoticed
A long alarm list nobody reads is as bad as no alarms. Rook SCADA keeps the important ones in front of the people who can act.
-
01
Prioritised alerts
Critical trips rise to the top, so minor warnings never bury them.
-
02
Categorised routing
Every alarm goes to the right person by category, so the person who can act is the person who’s told.
-
03
Full acknowledgement trail
See who acknowledged each alarm and when — for shift handovers, audits and OEM discussions.
-
04
Warnings before failures
Warnings flag conditions drifting out of range before they turn into a trip.
-
05
Live context
Jump from an alarm to the turbine’s live data to judge the situation before anyone is sent out. See real-time monitoring.
-
06
Feeds your reports
Downtime from faults is captured for availability and loss reporting. See reports and charts.
From fault to fix
What happens between a turbine tripping and a technician arriving.
-
01
Detect
The Rook RTU reads fault and status signals from the turbine controller or inverter.
-
02
Prioritise
Rook SCADA classifies the event by severity and category.
-
03
Route
Trips and faults go to operators, escalations to supervisors and generation updates to owners.
-
04
Acknowledge
The responder acknowledges the alarm, and the trail records who did it and when.
Two signals, two jobs
Something is drifting
A value is moving out of its normal range, such as a temperature climbing. The turbine is still running. Act early and you may avoid a trip.
Something needs action now
A fault or trip has occurred and generation is at risk or already lost. It goes to the top of the list and to the person who can fix it.
Categorised routing
Every alarm goes to the right person, by category.
- Operator Trips & faults
- Supervisor Escalations
- Owner Generation reports
Alarms & Warnings: common questions
A warning flags a condition drifting out of its normal range before it stops the machine. An alarm flags a fault or trip that needs action now. Rook SCADA handles both, prioritised so alarms always stand out.
Alarms are routed by category: operators receive trips and faults, supervisors receive escalations and owners receive generation reports. Routing is configured to your organisation.
It is a record of who acknowledged each alarm and when. It shows how quickly faults were picked up, and supports shift handovers and audits.
Yes. Alarms from every supported wind and solar OEM are shown and prioritised in one place. See OEM compatibility.
Yes. Solar inverters and strings raise alarms and warnings in the same system as your wind turbines.
