Entertaining Alert Sounds
Entertaining Alert Sounds
(OP)
Recently, a request was forwarded to me for the following:
a customer has a twelve station warning system. The customer would like an audible sound, unique to each station. Each unique sound to be a SONG. When switch one is turned on, song 1 plays, switch 2..song 2, etc.. Oh yeah, this song needs to be played at a minimum of 60 dB. At the risk of sounding like a suck-up, I figured if anyone knew a way to make something like this a reality, if would be someone on this site. The system has a Allen-Bradley SLC 5/04 PLC. Any ideas? Thanks, in advance!

It seems to me that Edwards Signal makes a horn that comes with selectable songs. Call 'em up. (Sorry, I'm not at my desk or I'd dig you out a number).
Another option is the dadgum doorbell my son bought at Home Depot. It's more like 70 db, and can be changed to cycle thru random songs by the season...
Good luck with it, and let me know what you find out!

If you have a reasonable number of alerts, this may be an interesting way of creating individual sound files for different alert conditions. You could drive them from a standard PC and turn up a set of multi-media speakers, or send to an amp for a loud speaker.
There are several text to speech programs available on the web if you are interested, some offering trial versions to test.
