AlarmManager
|
An important part of any alarm
rationalization process is to provide
documentation for each alarm.
The Control Arts AlarmManager provides
both a clean interface for managing the
overall DCS alarm configuration and a
user-friendly input screen for adding or
modifying alarm procedures.
|
 |
|
 |
Providing a front-end to the
alarm documentation, the AlarmManager module
stores all user configuration data in an SQL
Server or Access database, allowing easy
access from anywhere in the plant. |
|
The EEMUA standard has
recommendations on alarm configurations -
such things as priority distributions and
alarms per controller and operator. It's
easy to check that your system meets these
recommendations, and easy to determine what
changes have been made to the alarm system
since the last benchmark. |
