Advanced Monitoring and Diagnostic Software is a G2 based solution for construction of knowledge based (KB) applications for process plants.
AMD is broadly applicable to process industries. It is particulary well suited for applications in Cement, Chemical/Petrochemical, Enviromental, Food/Beverage, Nuclear, Petroleum/Pipeline, Power/Utilities, Process Manufacturing, and Pulp/Paper Plants.
AMD consists of a generic rule base and a series of master templates
designed specifically for the process industries.
AMD simplifies construction and maintenance of sophisicated large
online real-time KB applications while substanti ally reducing total development
time and cost.
 | Configuration Layer detects and warns of control system configuration
errors. |
| Sensor Layer assesses signal integrity and determines signal
validity. |
| Controller Layer analyzes and evaluates controller behavior
under non-alarm and alarm conditions and performs related diagnoses. |
| Process Layer diagnoses process disturbances by application
of engineering principles. |
| Heuristics Layer applies user entered "rules-of-thumb"
and failsafe rules. It automatically invokes failsafe logic to cover situations
beyond the scope of AMD and user entered heuristics. |
| Core Layer includes a complete generic rule base and a library
of process unit object definitions. |
| Application Layer contains unit specific information, with all
instances of instrumentation and hardware plus network communication parameters. |
Benefits
| Advanced warning of impending alarms |
| Comprehensive coverage of all manufacture processes |
| Improved efficiencyof process operations |
| Improved product quality |
| Fewer disturbances |
| Less downtime |
All of which contribute to a MAJOR COST SAVINGS
