Change Management

Dynamic data such as Alarm settings, instrument ranges etc can also be maintained, via a secure OPC DA client.

• Can I know whether Alarm & Trip set points, ranges are same as per design or are they changed without approval? Can we have access & version control for all configurable parameters and know which are the ones approved? Dynamic Data are those which are changed frequently, say instrument ranges, alarm & trip points as well as tuning parameters.
• These are retrieved from control systems typically through OPC.
• Retrieval can be scheduled or on demand
• Through user friendly HMIqueries based on instrument, equipment type
• Multiple user roles. Secure OPC Client with read - write access on a per tag level basis is offered.

Discrepency List

• you can query for Dynamic Data and view them, make changes, propose and approve. Periodically, say review unauthorized changes everyday via Discrepancy list. Authorized Enforcer users may write these changes to control system OPC server through secure OPC Client.

Change management Life cycle: Need to change - propose - approve - enforce via Secure OPC Client - change design data

Alarm settings can be automatically changed , say based on throughput or Raw material mix or product Mix criteria; Or certain alarms can be suppressed or disabled and enabled based on equipment running status; or in the case of batch to enable alarms only for those equipments which are in use.

• Rationalisation tool provides the user with a simple but efficient tool.
• To ensure consistency in alarm & trip point settings for similar equipment
• To ensure correct priority is calculated for alarms
• To define Operator assist - Alarm description, consequences, action to be taken and time to respond.
• To reduce configured alarms to reduce uncontrollable alarm load
