Alarms Data Flow

All alarm data must end up in the Building Operation database, whether the alarms are triggered in Building Operation or PME.

In Architecture 1, all alarm data is logged directly to the Building Operation database. You must configure power alarms in Building Operation, manually, or through existing alarms in the SmartWidget. Also Building Operation collects the alarm data and copies it to PME, using the PME EWS client.

In Architecture 2, power alarm data is first logged to the PME database and then copied to the Building Operation database using EWS. You must configure device based or software-based power alarms in PME.
