Consolidated Alarm Management Software (CAMS for HIS)

Easy and Flexible Engineering

Flexible Alarm Attribute Design
  CAMS for HIS allows users to define attribute identifiers and sort out alarms quickly and effectively. In addition, further value-added information can be defined for specific alarms to help operators take agile role-based action.
   
  • Examples of identifiers for providing only necessary alarms
  Purpose of monitoring (safety, environmental protection, economic efficiency)
   
  • Examples of identifiers for providing an alarm only to the persons who need it
  Target user or user group
   
  • Examples of identifiers for providing an alarm at the right time
  Allowed response time (urgent, quick, routine)
  Desired degree of consequence (very large, large, medium, small)
  Alarm priority (critical, high, medium, low, logging, reference)
   
  • Examples of value-added information
  Root cause of alarm occurrence
  Role-based action to be taken
  Previous action procedures
   
   
EEMUA#191-based Alarm Definition
  CAMS for HIS provides an engineering environment that allows users to define which alarms are truly necessary. This engineering environment is based on the guidelines given in EEMUA publication #191.
