Alarming
System and process alarms are essential to safe and efficient
operation. The OC 6000e DCS has a flexible alarm-monitoring
capability and is specifically designed to attract the operator’s
attention during operation upset and allows operators a clear view
of unit operating condition. Alarms can be presented either in an
alarm list or embedded in operator graphics. When embedded in
operator graphics, dynamic action properties of the object can be
configured to assist operator focus on distress areas. In addition
to the alarm list and dynamic alarm graphics, a multimedia voice
alarm can also be configured to alert operators.
Historical Services
Process history is important to operation analysis, regulatory
requirements, training, and root cause analysis. System Historical
Services support the collection and storage of process history that
includes process data, SOE and alarms. The collection sample rate is
configurable, with 1 ms resolution for SOE. History capacity depends
on availability of media capacity. History can be accessed through
display, trend and periodic reports. This can also function as a log
for operation records and configuration change management.
Redundant Historical Data Storage
In some highly regulated processes, availability of process history
is an absolute necessity by regulatory agencies. The OC 6000e
offers a redundant historical data storage. This is accomplished
by configuring historical data collection in two nodes, and then
mapping the primary storage file of each node to the backup file
in the other node.
Reporting
Reporting is critical to operation, productivity, and regulatory
requirement. The Reporting function is provided through easily
configurable report templates based on Microsoft
