Frequently asked questions
Can’t find your answer here? Our team is available to walk through any question you have.
Does WIN-911 replace Ignition's native Alarm Notification module?
No. WIN-911 is designed to work alongside Ignition’s native Alarm Notification, SMS, and Voice modules, extending their capabilities without replacing existing functionality.
If Ignition already sends SMS, voice, and email alerts, why add WIN-911?
WIN-911 adds capabilities beyond Ignition’s native notification modules, including SmartSights Mobile, Microsoft Teams delivery, in-plant PA broadcasts, hands-free voice acknowledgment, alarm-to-ticket workflows, and Andon-style visual displays.
Does WIN-911 support hands-free alarm acknowledgment?
Yes. WIN-911 allows operators to acknowledge voice alarms hands-free, making it ideal for environments where users are wearing gloves or cannot interact with a device.
We run Ignition alongside other SCADA platforms. Can WIN-911 consolidate alarms across all of them?
Yes. WIN-911 includes native connectors for Ignition, AVEVA, FactoryTalk A&E, and iFIX/CIMPLICITY, providing a single notification layer across mixed SCADA environments instead of managing separate alarm systems.
Can WIN-911 turn Ignition alarms into tickets or follow-up tasks automatically?
Yes. Through its integration with SmartSights Peer, WIN-911 can automatically create tickets from alarms, providing a documented workflow from notification through resolution.
Does WIN-911 add Andon-style visual displays to an Ignition environment?
Yes. WIN-911 integrates with SmartSights Peer to support Andon-style visual workflows using Ignition alarm data, extending functionality beyond Ignition’s native alarm notification features.
Ignition's Alarm Notification module already includes ISA 18.2-compliant statistics. Does XLReporter still add value?
Yes. XLReporter expands reporting beyond a single Ignition gateway by rolling up alarm KPIs across multiple sites and platforms, while also supporting broader industrial reporting such as EPA and FDA compliance.
Do I need a special client or generic OPC setup to connect WIN-911 to Ignition?
No. WIN-911 includes a dedicated Ignition client module that connects directly to Ignition’s alarm journal, eliminating the need for generic OPC configuration or custom scripting.
Does adding WIN-911 mean giving up any of Ignition's native alerting?
Yes. Through its integration with SmartSights Peer, WIN-911 can automatically create tickets from alarms, providing a documented workflow from notification through resolution.
