Intelligent alarming Effective alarm management improves safety, fault diagnosis and quality control

چکیده
As industrial plants become larger and more complex, an increasingly sophisticated alarm system is required to inform operators of potential malfunctions. With hundreds of different processes running at once, operators can be hard pushed to keep up with alarms, even under normal conditions. Without careful management, alarms can be ignored by even the most diligent of operators. Persistently active alarms may even be disabled, leading to potentially disastrous consequences.

متن کاملAn alarm management framework for automated network fault identification
Many timing constraint (or real-time) distributed systems, such as real-time database systems, are now being used in safety critical applications. However, they are subject to system failures caused by the malfunction of underlying network components. Without the helps of network experts or sophisticated management tools, most users cannot resolve these network problems by themselves. Sometimes...
متن کاملRule-based reduction of alarm signals in industrial control
− The proper handling of alarms is crucial to any automated process control. In practice, many alarms are only distractive and do not represent a potentially dangerous situation. This paper presents a methodology and a computerized tool that aims to remove such nuisance alarms, a so-called alarm cleanup. This is a general, systematic approach that takes advantage of the control system’s built-i...
