The Best Practises in Alarm Management
Process control alarms are designed to employ automation to support human operators in monitoring and controlling processes and to warn them of unusual circumstances. Careful planning is necessary for good process alarm management, which has a big impact on a control system's overall efficacy. The value of each incoming process signal is continuously checked, and if it goes into an abnormal range, an alarm will sound and/or be visible to the operator. This seems like a straightforward idea that doesn't require a second thought, but regrettably, alarm configuration in control systems doesn't always receive the attention it requires. This article will address the recommended or best practices for setting up an alarm management system for efficient process control as well as the history of process alarms in manufacturing. Each alarm indicator required a specific illumination and some physical wiring before digital process control came into existence. It means that: ● Due to
