Alarm reduction in industrial process control

På svenska

Author

Summary, in English

The proper handling of alarms is crucial to automated process control. In practice, many alarms are only distractive and do not represent a fault situation. Here, a toolbox is proposed that aims to reduce the occurrence of the so called nuisance alarms. It is a general computerized tool that takes advantage of the control system's built-in functions, and is a first step to an enhanced overall alarm situation. In the first prototype, a significant reduction of the alarms in a biofueled district heating plant has been achieved
