How to create outlook signature

hi my name is Tom renick I'm a systems architect here at Solutions PT in this Tech bite we'll be looking at how to make sense of a scer alarm system using process view we will be first looking at the scar application which is having an issue with the large amount of alarms and there's no way to troubleshoot the issue then we'll be using process VI analyzer software to investigate the various alarm issues so to begin with process view analyzer is a way of gathering your alarm data from the very different data sources shown at the bottom of the diagram here so in this video we'll just be focusing on getting alarms from the Scara system so first of all the alarms goes into the collector and then it's stored in a SQL Server database and then it can be viewed within the analyzer web portal which we'll be covering in this session we're going to be covering dashboarding and Reporting so beginning with the dashboards these Dash boards have been designed to follow the Amira 191 and the other various alarm guidelines so you'll see various red indicators to say whether your current alarms are within these thresholds of these guidelines the reporting have also been designed with these guidelines in mind and there's over 30 of them out of the box uh I'll be going through some examples of these reports and covering some of the most useful ones such as the kpi report which incorporates some of the other alarm details so to begin with here's a scar application as you can see there's a huge amount of alarms which I can imagine some of you are very familiar with and um these are split into various different parts of the plant this is a Water Production plant and there's different pump stations you can see there there's a huge number of alarms at the different pump stations you can see them in a big list here but there's not you can see them coming in there's not really a way of analyzing them so that's where process view can come in handy so all of these alarms have been imported into the process view analyzer and this is the nice web portal that you get presented with when you sign in so you can actually organize process view into how your application's been organized so we're looking at storm water which is the same from the application and you can see the four different pump stations categorized here with the alarms associated with them constantly coming in uh to the process VI database and being presented here and you can also have a drop down here for the various different parts of your alarm system as well so that covers the sequence of events page for the alarming next we'll go on to a fleeting alarm report and how you can analyze the alarms coming from that report so if I head over to the report section and I have a look at the fleeting alarm reports here so it's under the alarm details and fleeting alarms so if I generate that report since uh the alarm since midnight this is a list of all the alarms that I've triggered in and out of their alarm state within 40 seconds so this just gives you a list which you then need to get a bit more details so what you can do is you can actually copy one of the tag names from the list if I copy that and we'll analyze the history of this particular tag and how many times it's triggered in the last 24 hours so if I now move over to the historical alarm page so now that we've moved over to the historical alarm page as you can see this covers the historical alarms going back in time and you can add various different filters so what we're going to do now is paste the tag name into the tag name column to filter by that name this presents a list of all the times this tag has triggered and the various different alarm States it was in so if you then want to do further analysis of this outside of the process view software you can select many of these records and actually export them to a CSV file if you need to and then take them to wherever you need to go this will download it in your browser so the next thing we're going to move over to is various different reporting examples in the reports page so the first example we're going to look at is the alarm distribution per area plant area so as you can see this has split the various different alarms into different areas you can see what percentage of alarms are triggered per area similar to this you can look at the alarm distribution by priority and this will give you a breakdown of the different distribution per priority as you can see 59% of the alarms are priority 2 and the Amir 191 guideline is 15% so you can see this is way outside the guideline so that's just straight away something that you can work on within your alarm system the next example I'll show is the tag report so this is just a simp report showing all of your various tags like in the historical view so you can actually filter them these if you want say if you want to just look at the times that the actual alarm is triggered rather than returned to its alarm state so if we click on the filter section here we can filter it by alarm State and only include P2 for example so as you can see this has generated a report which is filtering only by alarm and Only By Priority to alarms so another report example is the most frequent alarms um so if I have a look at the most frequent alarms by tag this gives you a quick breakdown which I'll show you an example in the dashboarding as well so here you can add some quick wins and see which are your most frequent alarms and these are the sort of um Bad actors that you need to focus on one of the useful report is the kpi summary so if I have a look at the kpi summary report and generate that so this report is particularly popular with people using process view because it gives you a breakdown of some of the key indicators from the other report such as how many different priorities there are how many of them are chattering and stale and it tells you whether you're inside or outside of the target for the Amura 1 i1 guidelines the final thing I'm going to show is the dashboarding so if I go to dashboarding and look at the last uh 24-hour Trend that's a quick rundown of the alarms triggered over the last 24 hours and whether or not it's overloaded and you can see there should be 10 but there's actually been 28 98 alarms and finally fin similar to that report you can look at the alarm frequency as a dashboard and this gives you a quick breakdown of as I was saying those Bad actors and see which alarms were triggered the most like which tag is the most common alarm so you can see this particular tag has triggered 50 times since midnight so that's causing an issue you need to investigate that further so as youve seen from this video we've gone through a messy alarm system shown in our application here and we've used process view analyzer to generate some dashboards and reports to help fix this issue so if you'd like more details on the
