EEMUA Guidelines for Alarm System Design
True Integration of Safety Excellence, Asset Excellence, and Production Excellence
No Single Point of Failure Based on the latest edition of the EEMUA* #191 guidelines, Yokogawa has developed a Consolidated Alarm Management System for the process operator in the HIS. *Engineering Equipment & Materials Users' Association CENTUM VP has a new OPERATOR CONSOLE (human machine interface) that makes information access quicker and more intuitive. The HIS runs on Windows and offers customers the convenience of using commercial-off-the-shelf hardware. Although the reliability of a PC is relatively low, it does not affect the total reliability of the process operator function. Within CENTUM VP the HIS is not server-client dependent. Therefore multiple HISs can support each other and there is no single point of failure. The CENTUM VP supports multiple operator console confi gurations: desktop, open-bay console, hardened enclosed-bay console, and custom professional consoles.
CENTUM VP achieves the operational excellence that is the focus of Yokogawa’s Safety Excellence, Asset Excellence, and Production Excellence initiatives. It offers integrated viewing and data handling functions. For example, alarms from the ProSafe-RS Safety Instrumented System and Plant Resource Manager, Yokogawa’s Asset Management product, can be seen and handled seamlessly in the HIS. You can also see historical data from Plant Information Management System in a window at the HIS. All plant process data, device data, procedures, and documents are handled by CENTUM VP. The amount of information available to process operators has been increasing and greater flexibility is demanded from the HMI. For many different confi gurations, one HIS supports to four professional monitors as well as wide flat panels (16:10 aspect ratio) of 24-inch and 30-inch sizes.
