The intelligent alarm management system

Abstract

An overview of the intelligent alarm management system (IAMS) developed for suppressing nuisance alarms is presented. The system helps in providing advisory information to help panel operators focus quickly on important alarm information and take quick, correct action. The system is developed using Microsoft Visual C++ and incorporating special-purpose algorithms, process knowledge, and control system expertise. The results show that IAMS can effectively suppress nuisance alarms, thus increasing the alarm system's efficiency.
