Soridis introduces SUPRA, their new Alarm Supervision Software featuring Perle I/O Device Servers
NASHVILLE, TN - May 25, 2009 — Perle Systems, the global developer and manufacturer of serial to Ethernet connectivity solutions is pleased to announce that Soridis has chosen Perle to provide the Ethernet I/O technology used in their new Alarm Supervision Software.
SUPRA, Soridis’ new cutting-edge Alarm Supervision Software, allows railways to supervise all alerts on a rail network and monitor stations at both a local and regional level. SUPRA provides a complete graphic view of the network’s state and quicker troubleshooting through the setting of customised automatic alerts.
Every year, the French National Rail Infrastructure authority (RFF) invests more than € 2.5 billion in the national rail network, with further major investments by the National Railway Company (SNCF) and Paris’ own transportation services (RATP). In such a rapidly evolving market, the adaptability to new cutting-edge technologies is essential for all industry players, which are already re-designing the future of rail travel.
Perle’s Ethernet I/O Device Servers enable comprehensive access and control of remote digital I/O, analog I/O, pulse I/O, relays and temperature sensors as well as connections of remote serial equipment on any IP network. The IOLAN DS I/O Device Server has the ability to monitor environmental alarms, intrusion detection, relay contact closures and equipment failure. Through remote operator or application control, opening and closing of integrated relay contacts or activation of digital output signals can be incorporated into any response of a critical event.
Soridis is showcasing SUPRA during the International Railway Exhibition (SIFER) in Lille, from 26th to 28th May 2009.
