Corey,
As one who has spent the =A3's to get EEUMA Publication #191; it is well =
worth the pounds.
If you would like to get some reading on the topic, there is a large =
amount on the web. I would recommend downloading the following:
1. From Jan 2005 "Chemical Processing" - "Alarm Overload"
2. From Feb 2005 "Chemical Engineering" - "Alarm Management"
3. From "Measurement + Control" - "Alarm System Performance"
4. From "Measurement + Control" - "Alarm Management (EEUMA Guidelines in =
Practice)
5. From (British) HSE "Bransby Automation Report 166 / 1998"
6. From "Plant Automation Services" - "The Cost / Benefit of Alarm =
Management"
I am sure with the above key words, your google friend can get you the =
documents.
Please ignore any silly =3D20 characters that might get inserted by my =
email.
Hope this helps,
Terry Doucet

Objet=A0: Re: [foxboro] Recommended practices for assigning Alarm =
Priorities
I'm interested in this too, as I see it becoming an issue (read, =
assigned=20
to me to make better :) in the near future. Personal philosophy here=20
(based more on gut feel than anything) is:
Pri 5:=20
Historian/logging/emailing only
Pri 4:
Not used
Pri 3:
"Run-of-the-mill" alarms
Pri 2:
More critical alarms, including those that interlock or shut down=20
equipment
Pri 1:
Most critical alarms, shutdowns of major parts of the plant, some =
signals=20
relayed from the SIS, things that also go to a SCAM
Each level has its own sound (we use the annunciator keyboard=20
synthesizers). IOBAD is given the same priority as the highest priority =
of the other alarms.
Also, I'm interested in what works best in AM configuration: sorting by=20
time or priority, filtering, noises, etc.
I guess I'll try to obtain the EEMUA document.

Subject: [foxboro] Recommended practices for assigning Alarm Priorities
Hello Group,
Does anybody have any good ideas or even "successful" recommended =3D
practices
for assigning Alarm Priorities in I/A, that can be categorized?
As a simple example,
1=3D3D Emergency Situations
2=3D3D Alarms that cause Shutdown
3=3D3D Alarms, such as motor and valve mismatch
4=3D3D General Messages
5=3D3D Other
Or is it just better to make a priority assignment on an individual =3D
alarm
basis?
Any information is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Mark Dumond
