Operator stations

The Operator Stations are used to receive alarms and to

allow monitoring and control of the system. They display

status pages and interactive process diagrams. They also

give access to the I/O Units for inspection of variables,

operation of equipment and adjustment of parameters.

Changing limits or parameters in one Operator Station will

automatically update all other stations. All operator actions

such as the starting or stopping of pumps or changing

alarm limits, are logged and time tagged. Process views

contain easy‐to‐read information about the engine and

surrounding equipment. Control of different process plants

and machinery is done directly from any Operator Station.

Full monitoring and alarm facilities are provided in both

the machinery space and in the control rooms. All changes

in alarm and measuring points from the I/Os are logged and

time stamped.

Data are stored in all Operator Stations for 28 days. They can

be displayed in the Event and Trend history view. Extended

logging of data is included in our information management

system.
