Industrial Control Links offers a wide variety of alarm autodialer,
alarm detection and delivery solutions. Alarm conditions can range
from a simple contact closure to conditions involving many inputs and
logic of arbitrary complexity. Alarm annunciation and delivery can
take many forms: control outputs, voice over telephone or public
address systems, numeric and alphanumeric pager activation, textual
user interface and data communications events. For outstanding flexibility and value, our products offer much more capability than traditional alarm autodialers. To help choose the right solution for your application, see the selection chart below: |
