Steve,
This is an area that we are lacking in our process. We still are =3D
awaiting SOE (Sequence of Events). I am of the opinion we need an alarm =
=3D
manager package. This will be instrumental in the completion of the =3D
alarms for the DCS.
Prior too the upgrade Guy and I used some temporary programs provided =
=3D
by Foxboro to identify chattering and nescience alarms. This program =
=3D
was called "Inform". I am not recommending this program just the fact =
=3D
that it proved we needed an alarm management for alarm maintenance as =
=3D
well as process troubleshooting.

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
technology?=3D3D3D
If yes, would you mind to share your experience with me (off-list might
be =3D3D3D more appropriate). I am thinking of MTK system connectivity =
to
Foxboro I/A, issues, concerns =3D3D3D and successes.
Thanks in advance.

and =3D3D3D TiPS.
