The Control Program canalso display and printcomposite trend graphsshowing all the sensorsconnected to any pieceof equipment for anytimeframe . . .

The Control Programcan sort thecomplete audit trailback to systemswitch-on bytimeframe, eventtype, equipment,sensor anddepartment . . .

AlerterThe Alerter is a pop-up application. It can be installed onany PC with access to the network. Users can configure

the program to respondonly to alarms fromrelevant departments.Alerter provides realtime audible and visualindication of alarmconditions. The pop-updisplay mirrors the alarminformation displayed onan InfoPoint.

A remote user can accept alarms using the ControlProgram. The audit trail is maintained whether the alarmis accepted using the InfoPoint or the Control Program.

Working togetherWe work closely with our customers from the initial userrequirement specification through to system acceptance.We can temperature map your equipment and providedocumented justification for sensor positions.

Our engineers will install, commission, calibrate andvalidate your system and train your staff. We will workwith you to generate the qualification protocols you needto satisfy your regulatory requirements.

Support you can rely onA one year, on-site, parts and labour warrantydemonstrates our confidence in our systems.

On-going maintenance agreements preserve yourinvestment in Contronics systems. We look afterpreventative maintenance and scheduled annualcalibration, validation and mapping and prepare acomprehensive documentation pack ready for yourregulatory inspection.

Prolog LiteProlog Lite is the latest addition to our world-class range ofenvironmental monitoring systems. The system is 21CFR11Part 11 and GAMP compliant and will satisfy MHRArequirements. It is a multi-user system with the capacity tomonitor up to 100 points distributed over multiple sites. Itmonitors a complete facility whilst maintaining departmentalseparation and responsibility. Prolog Lite combines the serverand InfoPoint in a single, wall-mounted unit.

The server uses an industry standard MySQL database. Itstores the system configuration information and accumulatesmeasurements from DataNodes. It also maintains a secureaudit trail of alarms, alarm acceptances, settings changes andall system events and actions taken. Prolog Lite makesscheduled automatic database backups to a nominated serveron the network.

The system is highly resilient. Logged data is duplicated inthe database and in DataNode. If the network connection toDataNode is interrupted, missing database information will beautomatically retrieved when the network connection isrestored.

The system generates four alarms per sensor; upper and lowerwarning levels and upper and lower alarm levels.

Prolog Lite will send email containing detailed alarminformation to predefined addresses: including smartphones.Separate addresses can be defined for each department.

Departmental responsibility is achieved by configuringInfoPoint displays to respond only to alarms for specificdepartments.

As shown in the diagram above, Prolog Lite is connected by astandard Ethernet network to distributed DataNodes whichcollect and store data from local sensors. Local InfoPointsdisplay alarms and information only from equipment forwhich the department is responsible.

ProLog Lite software is being continuously developed toreflect the changing needs of users and to ensure that thesystem complies with current legislation and practice.Software updates are offered free of charge during warrantyand subsequent maintenance agreements.

InfoPointThe 17”, wall-mounted, colour LCD touch-screen display andintuitive user interface mean that InfoPoint is simple to use,easy to understand and minimises training.

InfoPoint displays alarm conditions, current sensor values andsettings, audit trail information and trend graphs.

Alarms can be accepted, channels can be inhibited andtemporary disables initiated (eg for defrost). All thefrequently used system operation and maintenance functionsare included.

InfoPoint uses an index card metaphor to simplify navigation.Touching the tab at the top of the screen changes the displaymode.

When an alarm occurs, InfoPoint generates an audible andvisual alarm, jumps to the alarm tab and displays the alarminformation and advisory text . . .

Username and password are necessary to accept alarms and auser comment is required for the audit trail. These areentered using the on-screen keyboard . . .

Sensor data is displayed graphically . . .

An image can beinserted on the statuspage to provide moreinformation . . .

InfoPoints can bedistributedthroughout a facilityas required and alarm notifications can be transferred to adifferent InfoPoint when a department is not staffed.

InfoPoint’s UPS ensures operation is maintained duringchangeover to emergency supply.

DataNodeDataNode accepts up to 16 analogue inputs, 16 contactinputs and 4 serial inputs. In addition, 8/4/2 analogue inputversions are available to minimise system cost for smallerapplications. The minimum logging interval is 1 minute.At this setting, DataNode stores 1 week of local data.

DataNode makes continuous analogue sensor measurementsat 1-second intervals and stores the worst excursion duringthe logging interval in the database. It accepts a range ofinputs as shown in the specification on the back page.The serial inputs interface with particle counters and otherintelligent sensors.

DataNode has 4 relay outputs. These can be configured tochange state for any combination of alarms and used, forexample, for local alarm indication.

Each channel (or piece of equipment) can be configured toinclude up to 4 analogue or serial inputs and 4 contact inputs.

A UPS is installed to enable DataNode to continue logging ifthe mains supply fails.

Control ProgramThe Control Program is used to configure and control aProLog system. The Control Program is a web application;this means that any PC on the network can access thisprogram using a familiar web browser.

The system manager specifies the users who have access tothe system and attaches users to departments.

Usernames, passwords and the required level of accesspermissions are allocated to users so that they can configureand maintain the system, accept alarms and alter settingswithin their designated departments.

Details of alarm acceptances, settings changes and any otherinterventions are recorded in a secure audit trail along withuser’s name and comments.

A channel is configured for each piece of equipment attachedto the system. Sensors are assigned to a channel and upperand lower warning and alarm levels are set. The channelnames, sensor names, alarm messages and optional channeland sensor advisory text are entered. The equipment supplier,part number and serial number are also recorded . . .
