Multiple alarms can sound especially when your operators are starting up or shutting down a plant or during maintenance measures. The key here is to quickly “separate the wheat from the chaff” and determine which alarms are false and which are real problems – and to forward the relevant ones immediately to the appropriate people.
With Siemens as your partner, starting up your plant will never be a hassle for you again. That’s because the Alarm Management module for our SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system identifies and suppresses unnecessary alarms. For example, SIMATIC PCS 7 enables the effective analysis of alarms using a freely configurable matrix and provides for the automatic correction of false alarms. In addition, our SIMATIC WinCC enables fast and secure notification of the right people for all real alarms – via SMS, pager, e-mail, or phone voice output, as needed. The core of this solution is our intelligent Alarm Control Center, which lets you enter individually defined escalation processes for all cases.
The benefit: your plant operators are freed from dealing with false alarms and the amount of unplanned downtime is minimized – and you ensure that all necessary specialists will be notified immediately if an emergency should really occur.
