Description
In today's world, we are inundated with information. From our cell phones, televisions, and computers, isolating information and determining action has become essential. It is also imperative to provide warnings about developing situations so operators can take corrective action in a timely manner. Standardized DeltaV DCS and SCADA alarm systems are powerful tools that can be utilized in this process.
Alarms can be interruptive by nature and must be carefully managed to minimize the number of nuisance alarm activations. Unnecessary alarms can significantly drain operational staff resources in terms of staff time, after-hours callouts, and workload.
The ISA (Internation Society of Automation) 18.2 describes systematically reviewing and documenting alarms to help diagnose and respond to abnormal situations. The ISA-18.2 alarm management standard was published in 2009 and was updated and re-issued in 2016. The standard outlines mandatory and recommended practices for a lifecycle approach to alarm management. Standardized work processes are used to design, implement, maintain, and monitor the alarm system.
The City of Calgary has created a lifecycle of standard work processes based on the ISA-18.2 alarm management standard, reflecting their specific needs. These lifecycle stages for the alarm management program will be presented with some typical scenarios showing how alarm rationalization was implemented. By implementing these standards, alarms have been reduced by approximately 47%.
