Alarm management

Event and alarm management

Loaded with the accurate tracking of alarms or events of the plant, the alarm log offers extended possibilities (severity, urgency, selective acknowledgement, prevention…) and pre-configured filter modes that are particularly ergonomic (tree-like organization of equipment, functional groups...). The states also use the tree structure of equipment: the sub-assemblies with alarm are identified instantaneously by a red point and the list of states of the sub-assembly is displayed by clicking once in the equipment tree. Associated with equipment in a mimic diagram, the log automatically filters information corresponding to it.

Recording measurements and tracer

The recorders take charge of the automatic recording of measurements or data in event mode, due to which there is economy of storage size. Periodic forcing remains possible. Periodic archiving, fixing the duration of data retention "online", is also managed.
Natural complement of recorders for the views, the tracer is a client component that ensures the display of data in the form of graphs, histograms and tables, operating both on archives and on online data, and this in a totally transparent manner. The tracer is fully configurable during operation, in as much as for the selection of colors, scales, zoom factor, as for more sophisticated operations: direct statistics on the displayed graphs, comparison of one production with an older production… etc.

Recipe and set point records

The MESbox SCADA pack provides a recipe mechanism that allows for transparent management in the database of set points meant for equipment. It offers several exchange modes with automatic control systems, whose synchronized mode avoids anything random. The corresponding recipe records can contain an unlimited number of parameters grouped by categories as needed. The recipe system of the MESbox SCADA pack is upgradeable to the multi-level recipe system of the MESbox PMT pack, ISA-88 compatible.
