PLC/SCADA Developments by Glen Bates of Rockwell
Glen Bates of Rockwell Automation will present a lecture to the London IMC Section entitled 'PLC/SCADA Developments', on Tuesday 12th Oct 2004 at 1730 for 1800: refreshments will be provided
With large installations commonly having 5,000 to 15,000 individual alarms, reviewing them individually would clearly be expensive in money, time and resources.
Furthermore, it would inevitably result in inconsistencies between similar alarms reviewed at different times and/or by different people.
This paper outlines some effective techniques for rationalising and improving the performance of systems with large numbers of alarms.
The paper also presents a case study, based on an alarm rationalisation and performance improvement exercise carried out on an onshore gas processing plant.
Details of future events can be found on the Institute web site.
The venue is the Energy Industries Council, at Newcombe House, 45 Nottinghill Gate, London W11 3LQ.
Time 17.30 for 18.00: Food, wine and soft refreshments will be provided.
