Abstract :
Nuisance alarms often clutter and obscure a process plant operator´s view of critical information, with potentially severe consequences. The intelligent alarm management system (IAMS) suppresses nuisance alarms and provides valuable advisory information to help the operator focus quickly on important alarm information and take correct, quick actions. Test results show that IAMS effectively suppresses nuisance alarms, making alarm systems more helpful.
