Intelligent alarming E ffective alarm management imp roves safety , fault diagnosis and quality control Martin Hollender , Carsten Beuthel As industrial plants become larger and more complex, an increasingly sophis ticated alarm system is required to inform operators of potential malfunctions. With hundreds of different processes runn ing at once, operators can be hard pushed to keep up with alarms, even under normal condi- tions. Without careful manage- ment, alarms can be ignored by even the most diligent of opera- tors. Persistently active a larms may even be disabled, leading to potentially disastrous conse- quences. To ease the problem of operator overload, ABB offers a number of alarm management tools. Its Power Generation Informatio n Management (PGIM) system incorpor ates a larm and event management functions, and the alarm hiding functions of System 800xA allow certain alarms to be hidden under certain conditions, thereby avoiding unnecessary distraction of operators. ABB Engineering Services, together with local ABB project groups, also provi de alarm management consulting services.
