Definitions
- the invention relates to a system and a method for simplified operation and handling of an automation and / or process control system, including a consistent and efficient information and knowledge management.
- Knowledge management initiatives for the interaction of multiple individuals are generally considered to be not particularly efficient or powerful.
- One reason for this may be that knowledge management initiatives are more geared to a company perspective and therefore to a whole, rather than the individual worker.
- Another difficulty seems to be that the tools for knowledge management are not sufficiently or sufficiently integrated into those tools that are linked to them and that the respective user needs to accomplish their tasks. In the case of an operator in a control or control room, these are essentially alarm and event lists, trend and process graphics.
- EEMUA 191 as an alarm system guideline, provides some key principles for designing and designing alarm systems that must be followed to design or conceptualize a useable alarm system.
- the EEMUA 191 is the industry standard for or for the development of alarm systems. According to this guideline, any alarm message should contain information about what the particular problem is and give guidance on how the respective surgeon should behave in relation to the particular alarm.
- the EEMUA Directive also states that only those warnings for which a defined answer, in particular a concrete rule of conduct or Handling instruction, at or for the surgeon, should be generated. Furthermore, it is recommended that appropriate behavioral rules be made available to the surgeon for each alarm defined in the system and made accessible.
- a consistent and efficient information and knowledge management as a basis for effective operation and / or handling of an automation system or a -anläge is not or only partially possible in this way, the risk of misconduct due to knowledge and / or information loss, even in The sense of not finding information in time seems to be very high, especially in the event of a disruption. It follows for the present invention, the task to provide a way for efficient operation and / or handling of an automation system.
- knowledge-based and / or empirical and historical information with real-time information, in particular alarm messages and / or event messages are in cooperation with a control system, in particular a process control system , retrievable or callable linkable, wherein information and / or links to or references to information and / or process conditions by a first data processing device detected, accessible securable, especially storable, and at least one dedicated communication link, in particular a network or bus system, for at least one second data processing device can be provided for further utilization.
- the respective information is already operationally and / or process-dependent and / or classified preliminarily and / or classified and / or classifiable by means of a system provided and provided assessment tool, in particular with regard to whether the respective information relevant in each state is.
- the assessments and classifications available in this regard are system- as well as process-related and / or adaptable, as a result of which newly collected and / or changing and / or application-specific empirical values can be incorporated into the respective evaluations in a timely manner.
- graphics and / or trend plots or development curves or representations can be automatically called up and / or generated by means of linking and / or reference and / or predetermined functions and / or procedures of the control system and / or manuals, in particular operating manuals, and / or faceplates and / or views accessible and / or any other information available in electronic form out of the control system out, in particular from alarm and / or event lists and / or help documents and / or help calls the control system out, callable.
- such information is provided or the selection is limited to such information that has been evaluated as relevant for the respective operating or process state and / or classified or assigned to the respective state and / or the respective environment, in particular process environment ,
- the links or associations between the operating state or operating environment and the respective information are effected by means of predeterminable identifier and / or keywords, so-called “metadata” or metadata.
- Process state DIRECTION or NORMAL OPERATION or VOLLAST or DEPARTURE.
- a process state detector can be provided which automatically correctly determines and / or sets the variable process state.
- Metadata Another metadata or example of metadata would be the name of the author. It is set automatically, so that one can search later, by means of a corresponding search tool, for all contributions of for example "mholl”. Also information regarding date, location, field of application, utilization, Maintenance and servicing, operating hours and the like as well as generally status and / or process and / or resource information, for example also manufacturers or a combination thereof, can be part of the metadata.
- the respective information by means of labeling (tag or tagging) with a respective predetermined state of exception, in particular an alarm state, linked or associated with this, such as a high alarm of a level indicator or indicator, and / or by means of a keyword with a respective predetermined alarm state linked or associated with this, wherein the keyword describes a resource and / or a plant or process component and / or a set of parameters and / or parameters and / or individual states which describe a particular system, plant or process state and / or define.
- a display can be called, in particular by the respective surgeon when required or upon request or also automatically, which displays all information and navigation connections and / or links which are intended for them Situation or this operating or process state or environment have previously been marked as relevant or evaluated.
- this display may be invoked by selecting or selecting a warning or alarm in the alert or alarm list or an event in an event list. If alarm or event handling information or behavioral measures related to the particular alarm or the Event available or retrievable from a database, this information can be displayed and viewed directly in this ad. Even if links and / or links to the faceplates, trend plots have been saved earlier, links / links to this information are displayed in the same display.
- the information links and / or links to keywords can be grouped, the keywords describing their content or object and / or function.
- the respective operator can save links and / or references and / or paths to open windows or views and assign them to an abnormal situation and / or to an alarm condition or to a state if he provides the corresponding information Similar to saving a bookmark for an Internet page, labeling with a keyword as a new reference can be similar.
- the same display / set of information can also be labeled or linked to a plurality of, in particular a plurality of keywords, wherein also different keywords can be grouped, similar to, for example, how the "social bookmark sharing tool" works for Internet pages.
- keywords can be defined, to which alarms and / or events with similar properties are / are assigned and / or keywords can be defined that identify and / or indicate alarms and / or events that have similar properties, such as, for example a high-temperature alarm for a heat exchanger can be assigned to all alarms / alarms for heat exchanger input or output temperature.
