"The next generation of Alarm Management"
The
ProcessVue Alarm Management Suite of software has been developed with
the benefit of over 30 years experience of Alarm Management systems.
The architecture has been designed to allow communications with
virtually any control system, DCS, BMS, ESD, FGS or SCADA bringing data
into a standard, configurable format for simple Sequence of Event (SOE)
storage and display, to high level EEMUA 191 KPI reporting. ProcessVue
combines the latest communication, data logging and reporting
technologies, providing clear, relevant and prioritized information to
Operators, Supervisors and Managers for critical decision making
whether in the control room or the board room.

- Fully
compatible with Honeywell TDC/TPS/PKS, Foxboro IA, Yokogawa Centum CS,
Fisher Provox, Emerson Delta V, Siemens Telepherm, Siemens S7, Triconex
TMR PLC, GE Mark VI and many other systems.
ProcessVue
is scalable and can be used as a simple standalone alarm logging /
printer replacement package to a company wide fully distributed system.
Using the latest .NET technology from Microsoft, compatibility with
both today's and future operating systems is ensured. An industry
standard SQL Database ensures reliable, secure, expandable and portable
data storage.
A 64 or 32 bit Service oriented architecture means super fast
performance on even the largest datasets. Services use store and
forward technology over TCP/IP ensuring data integrity is maintained
even when a LAN or WAN connection is unavailable.
The
latest Ajax Zero footprint web client technology means great
performance while maintaining simple secure roll out over almost any IT
infrastructure. All the latest web browsers are supported from IE6 to
IE10, Chrome, Firefox and even Safari.
Connectivity to 3rd party applications and systems can be made simple
using the very flexible reconstructor module to send data via TCP/IP
port or ODBC. ProcessVue is VMware friendly. Together ProcessVue
and VMware offer simplified deployment and low operational costs,
allowing customers to implement a flexible and scalable platform.
The
ProcessVue Alarm Management system will collect and store Alarms and
Events from many different systems including DCS, BMS & SCADA.
Using a web based client, ProcessVue empowers the user with advanced
search and filtering tools making it quick and easy to find the data
you need. Upgrade to ProcessVue Analyser to get full EEMUA 191 based
KPI reporting.
Features include:-
- Alarm and Event recording and storage (SOE).
- Advanced search and filtering.
- Collect data from multiple assets and group them together.
- Per-User configurable interface. Only show assets they are responsible for.
- EEMUA 191 based KPI reporting.
- Automated reporting engine.
Designed
from the ground up, the ProcessVue system provides a consistent and
intuitive user interface across all modules, resulting in shallow
learning curves and reduced training costs.
Data Collector
The
Data Collector is designed to connect to a multitude of current and
legacy control systems. The Collector runs as a Microsoft Windows
Service and collects data from the following input types:-
- RS232
with specific drivers developed for Honeywell, Foxboro IA systems and
the ability to create intelligent responses for time critical data
handshaking.
- TCP/IP - ProcessVue acts as a Generic/Text Only printer on your network capturing messages as they are printed.
- File Monitor - Text and CSV.
- OPC A&E which is widely used by SCADA and DCS vendors worldwide.
- ProcessVue can connect to IMAC and capture the Data it has stored over the years.
Data Archiver
The
Data Archiver is designed to connect to all Collectors and parse
(convert complete strings into individual fields) the incoming data for
writing to the SQL Database. In addition to this the Archiver has a
multitude of additional features designed to manipulate the parsed data
and add real value to the basic alarm string. A few of these features
include:-
- Powerful and flexible parsing engine.
- Create rules for Alarm pattern recognition (IEC 61850).
- ODBC Push to other Databases / Applications
- Duplicate message handling.
- Look-up Table function to add additional information to messages from the Excel files.
- Full and advanced error log.
- Email notification system.
SOE Web Client
Coupled
with a Data Collector and an Archiver, the SOE (SEquence of Events) Web
Client provides the user access to the data being collected and tools
to search filter and export that data. The SOE Web client also includes
an advanced Frequency Analysis tool which quickly highlights bad
actors. This client is designed for those customers who just need to
collect, store and search alarm data or just need a printer replacement
system.
Data Analyser & Web Client
ProcessVue
Analyser is built from two software components, the Analyser Service
and Web Client which enhances the analysis and reporting capabilities
of ProcessVue to include EEMUA 191 based KPI reports. Analyser expands
upon the existing ProcessVue database allowing it to be easily added to
an existing system. Analyser adds the following functionality to the
ProcessVue system:-
- EEMUA 191 based KPI reports.
- Real-time Dashboards and Reports.
- Enhanced Frequency Analysis engine.
- Automated report system.
ProcessVue MOC (Management of Change)
Soon
to be released, the ProcessVue MOC (Management of Change) module will
add a Master Alarm Database to the software suite ensuring changes to
set points, alarm priorities and other alarm parameters are
managed.
- Build an Operator response manual.
- Manage, audit and document changes to Alarm parameters.
- Work Flows and Collaborative approach means everyone in the review team is aware of proposed changes.
ProcessVue
has Data Collection points for alarm and event data coming from
different systems used onsite, accepting up to 32 data inputs per Data
Collector and displaying them in separate SOE windows in the ProcessVue
Web Server enabling clear identification of the original data source.
The Archiver-Parser formats and parses the alarm string into separate
fields in the MSQL Database. The Analytics provides detailed analysis
tools and KPI reporting required to identify nuisance alarms and operator workload during steady state and plant upset conditions and to create a company-wide
alarm philosophy, improving safety, reducing operator work load,
improving performance and reducing operational costs benchmarking to EEMUA guidelines.
Our
on site alarm rationalization service will be of particular interest to
companies wishing to analyze and reduce their number of alarms but who
have neither the time nor the manpower to do it themselves. Working
closely with customers in a service provider or mentoring role, we can
assist with: reduction of standing alarms; definition of rules for
alarm prioritization; provision of onsite training for operators for
alarm management; and development of a more efficient alarm management
procedure.
Combining
ProcessVue's products and services mean that effective alarm management
can now be achieved with minimal effort for maximum effect.
