SPPA-T3000 Cue Alarm Handlingsupports smooth power plant operation by helping operators easily detect and respond to plant disturbances on time.

The TaskIn power plant operation, even routine tasks are sometimes impeded by unavoidable incidents. Often, these incidents are random and unforeseeable. In these cases, it’s the operator’s job to manage the unexpected and keep the plant up and running.

Our SolutionWith its new release SPPA-T3000 Cue, Siemens has further optimized the SPPA-T3000’s Alarm Handling by enabling operators to efficiently manage even the most critical of situations.

In addition to its proven user-friendly one-click navigation and clear structure, the SPPA-T3000’s operator-centric approach comprises alarm features that support your operator’s work processes in the control room, including:

◾ Alarm Counts ◾ New alarm classes: Trip Stop,

Trip Warning, and Diagnostic Recommended (DR)

◾ Group Alarm Indicators ◾ Wake-up Alarms ◾ Alarm Management & Analysis (AMA)

With SPPA-T3000’s Alarm Handling, the operator has everything under control: Classified, counted, and color-coded alarms graded by their level of importance help operators focus on what really matters.

Instrumentation, Controls & Electrical

Control System

The integrated condition monitoring can even help prevent alarms from occurring. That’s why Siemens introduced the new alarm class Diagnostic Recommended (DR). It helps operators analyze situations before they go critical.

But when control room operators have only a few seconds to react, Trip Stop and Trip Warning alert them right on time. An alarm control window provides targeted cues and clear instructions for immediate, precise action.

Direct access to the corresponding plant display by clicking on the alarm class in the Upper Frame allows operators to react quickly. Individually definable alarms also give users optimal flexibility.

From the clearly structured and easy-to-read Alarm Sequence Display (ASD), operators can easily access the root cause analysis and directly transfer data to create a shift event – with one mouse-click. Finally, the AMA software assists in the optimization of alarm situations and prevents alarm flooding.

SPPA-T3000’s new alarm handling ensures that operators can reliably and predictively control their power plant and respond quickly and deliberately in any situation to keep the plant up and running.

Your benefits:

Efficient and effective power plant operation even in critical situations thanks to optimized, operator-centric Alarm Handling:

◾ Proven, user-friendly one-click navigation

◾ Classified, color-coded, counted alarms

◾ Broad, transparent view of the current alarm situation

◾ Clear operating instructions for rapid resolution

◾ Built-in condition monitoring

◾ Built-in alarm management

Alarm Countsprovides transparency about the plant’s situation and allows for quick and targeted reaction. Each alarm class is shown with the numbers of raising, unacknowledged, and pending alarms; double-clicking opens the alarm class-specific Alarm Sequence Display (ASD).

Group Alarm Indicatorsreduce reaction time in critical situations. When an alarm is shown in a Plant Display, it will be indicated in the Group Alarm Indicator. By clicking the alarm class of the Group Alarm Indicators, the operator has direct access to the corresponding Plant Display.

Wake-up AlarmsBy clicking on the Wake-up Alarm class, the operator can individually define conditions which should be specifically monitored. An alert at the right time then gives the operator optimum awareness of the situation.

Alarm Management & Analysis (AMA)AMA indicates the alarm situation and displays various alarm statistics, like the top 20 alarms or the sum of all triggered alarms by alarm type. It is configurable to your needs. And AMA brings a clear view of your conformity status relating to standards like EEMUA191 or ISA18.2.

Clear structure: color-coded and easy to read – the Alarm Sequence Display (ASD)Fast and uncomplicated: The ASD is accessed by clicking on large, easy-to-read buttons in the Upper Frame. The header column shows the urgency of the alarm and the notification class. The text is clearly legible, just what operators expect from an ASD.

User-friendly one-click-navigation: from ASD to root cause analysis with just one mouse-clickDouble-clicking on the text line in the ASD allows the fault to be analyzed with the help of the plant detail diagram. It could not be quicker or easier.

New alarm classes: ◾ Trip Stop (TS), Trip Warning (TW) ◾ Diagnostic Recommended (DR)

is a new message class that detects the status of availability-relevant components by using model-based condition monitoring. It reports subtle changes long before DCS limit values are reached.
