(AMETEK: Rochester, NY) --  AMETEK Power Instruments—a recognized leader in alarm management products—has introduced an advanced web-based alarm management system that captures critical alarms with one millisecond precision.      

The SERNET Sequence of Events Recorder is a distributed, network-enabled alarm manager that captures critical alarms in the sequence they occur for quick determination of the root cause. The alarms are displayed on a web browser hosted by the SERNET for easy analysis and includes real-time outputs via serial and Ethernet ports for connection to DCS, PLC, and other plant monitoring HMI software systems.

AMETEK partnered with EATON Corp. in developing the SERNET using EATON’s established communication platform for the web interface, NTP technology.  It directly interfaces with EATON Powerware using Modbus and BACnet protocols.
