Alarm Management with zenon CO PA- DATA H A S M O R E than 80,000 zenon HMI/SCADA installations worldwide. The one zenon feature which is used in nearly every installation is the alarm concept. As a native part of the zenon Runtime, the core zenon alarm functionality is available for all users and all licenses. This article will explain how companies can improve productivity, efficiency, and safety by utilizing zenon HMI/SCADA solutions in combination with international alarm management standards such as ISA 18.2 or IEC 62682.
The task of implementing and maintaining an effective alarm management system compliant to the International Society of Automation (ISA) ISA 18.22009 or the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) IEC 62682 is by no means a simple one. A successful implementation requires input from plant management, engineering, facilities, information technology and operators. To start a successful alarm management project, we show you which aspects one should consider according to ISA 18.2 / IEC 62682.
