Success Stories

Building Management and Security Control System

The Beer Sheva High Court security system is controlled by CSI PLCs and the Afcon SCADA solution as a full control application. The following systems are used:

• IR sensors – all rooms have infrared eyes that monitor movement
• Distress buttons – in all judge chambers for alerting security staff
• Entrance status – on all doors and windows

The project combines CSI (Control System International) and Afcon SCADA solution. All points are linked to a CSI PLC network connected to the Afcon SCADA solution stations located in the central control room.
The Afcon SCADA solution, the highest supervisory level in the structure, collects data from all points into the Afcon SCADA solution database. Using Advanced Alarm capabilities, the solution routes the information and starts the following sequence:

• Displays text messages on the relevant branch of the Advanced Alarms tree
• Generates a voice message announcing the point’s status and its location in the building
• Opens a graphic display (which blinks) of the location of where the event occurred
• When first clicked, the blinking object changes color, indicating that the alarm status has been acknowledged
• A second click opens a pop up screen where the operator is required to define the problem for a historical report.
• A counter is activated to display a summary of the number of alarms, faults and neutralized alarms on each floor
