Alarm/activity configuration

Creating route definitions
This feature can be used in conjunction with route points, if you want to restrict the display of alarms
and activity. If you want all alarms and activity to be displayed for all operators, you do not need to
configure this feature. Activity routing is restricted to badge activity and digital input (DI) activity.
Other activity, such as operator activity, cannot be routed to a specific operator.
Your site should be partitioned into sections that represent various sets of alarms and activity (inputs,
input groups, output devices, and alarm priorities). A route definition corresponds to one section of
your Picture Perfect site.
For example, assume a Picture Perfect site consists of two buildings: Building A and Building B. In
each of these buildings, there is an operator at an alarm monitoring station: Operator A and Operator
B. During the day, two operators monitor the site. At night, only one operator monitors the site from
Building A.
One possible configuration could be that the day shift operators monitor alarms and activity that
occur in their respective building, and the night shift operator monitors alarms and activity that occur
in both buildings. This configuration could be extended such that, during the day, if an operator did
not respond to an alarm in his building, the alarm would be “bumped” to the operator in the other
building.
Note:
Example
Changes made to route points do not take effect until Picture Perfect is restarted.
The ABC Corporation is comprised of a single facility, Global. This facility is made up of two
buildings: Buildings 1 and 2 and the route definitions are defined as “Building 1” and “Building 2”.
