A Best-Practice Guide for Design, Implementation, and Use of Industrial Alarm SystemsNo modern industrial enterprise, particularly in such areas as power, petrochemical, chemical processing, food and pharmaceuticals, and metals mining and processing can operate without a secure, and reliable, network of automated monitors and controls. Those operations are greatly benefited by effective alarm systems to alert operators of abnormal situations that require attention. This book embodies the current best practices of process control alarm systems. It is a comprehensive guide. The coverage is accurate and complete and, at the same time, easy to grasp. The book contains all of the “what is” information about alarm management to fully understand. It elevates alarm management from a fragmented collection of procedures, metrics, and trial-and-error to the level of a technology discipline. Fundamental underpinnings provide a level of understanding that is independent of opinion and partial experiences. All critical tasks are explained, with examples and insight into what they mean. Alternatives are everywhere to enable industrial users to tailor-make their solutions for their particular sites. There is an extensive “how to” that can be used to perform every aspect of alarm system redesign. The style is low-key. The technology is down-to-earth and solid.
The book will offer guidance on:
”This book is aimed for those with an interest or desire for proper alarm management, yet who do not know where to start or how to sustain progress.” A.S.
