SMS alert system at NSRRC

SMS (short message service) technology has been used extensively today in the wireless world. The utility group at NSRRC has developed an SMS alert and notification system with LabVIEW programming language to continuously monitor the critical signals of its utility systems. A short message will be sent immediately to the responsible people in case of critical components failure. Many critical signals in the instrumentation division have been included in this system for monitoring. Since its implementation, the maintenance people have been notified many times to restore the faulty system before the accelerator been shutdown or to minimize the damage. The detailed methodology will be presented here.
