4.6) Alarm Configuration RegEX
This step is very important for Alarm Management design and Implementation. Alarm configuration is very critical for every aspect. On this configuration many things are dependant. Post-Analysis is very important part after every plant upset-trip condition. If we configure any system alarm as a Process Alarm then it will be very difficult to find cause of the problem at plant personnel end. It is very critical step. Do more practice on this module.
So, First understand alarm configuration identification from OEM or End-user. Refer module > "AIMS Technical Stuff"
DCS/PLC wise identification of alarms is always differ. So act very carefully. Take your enough time to configure this module.
