Issue
Send an SMS text message when an alarm occurs.
Product Line
EcoStruxure Building Operation
Environment
- Alarming
- SMS Text
Cause
Sending an SMS Text message in response to an alarm condition will allow the responsible personnel to react immediately, even if they are not currently at the workstation.
Resolution
EcoStruxure Building Operation does not support direct SMS texting.
One workaround is to use an Email to SMS Test service provider that handles conversion of emails to SMS, as emails are easily created in EcoStruxure Building Operation.
If direct SMS functionality is required there are work arounds with 3rd party programs such as SysManSMS via file output options (see Using Sysman alert server with StruxureWare Building Operation).
Note that this third party products such as this are not supported or tested by Schneider Electric.
