Hiback George,
We have been using Matrikon's ProcessGuard for about
10 years, and have recently upgraded to the latest version. Our I/A is
running V4.3, and we are looking to go to V8. We also use a comm10 port,
but if I had my way I would have preffered OPC, however V8 is a
different game. We have over 30000 I/O and over 20000 installed alarms.
I am a member of the ISA SP18 committee, a new alarm standard being
developed by ISA, and have been using our site as a development
laboratory for the emerging standard. ProcessGuard gives me all the
analysis data I need for day to day management of alarms, except neither
Foxboro or Matrikon gives me the necessary bits to manage inhibited
alarms as per the requiremente of EEMUA appendix section 17 and SP18
section 18. Foxboro have recently announced an alarm shelving tool,
which our operators are very keen to have. I have sent several questions
about it to the user group conference next week,so will hopefully know a
bit more after that. If you are running V8 the Message Manager option is
worth looking at. Generally, our alarm system complies with EEMUA
traffic wise, being in burst mode much less than 1% of the time. The
local support from Matrikon is excellent.
regards,
Alan Armour

Hello Foxboro Users,
Does anybody have implemented Alarm Management using Matrikon's

If yes, would you mind to share your experience with me (off-list might
be =3D more appropriate). I am thinking of MTK system connectivity to
Foxboro I/A, issues, concerns =3D and successes.
Thanks in advance.
