This firm’s Industry Automation Div. has equipped Version 7.1 of its Cemat process control system (photo) with multiple new functions. An enhanced signaling and diagnostics concept is designed to reduce plant downtime as well as operating and maintenance costs, thus increasing plant availability and productivity. For example, Alarm Control is a freely-configurable signaling system integrated into the operator system for effective message display and processing. Interrupts can be individually filtered, or they can be exported for better analysis of critical plant states. Other new functions include the listing of by-passed process signals and the display of corresponding groups and routes for all process objects and object-granular alarm acknowledgement. — Siemens Industry Sector, Nuremberg, Germany
