CONTROL ARCHITECT: FEATURES

Alarm Analysis Reporting & Trending

A new dedicated Alarm Analysis view provides engineers with a comprehensive static alarm analysis toolset built around the ISA alarm rationalization guidelines. By analyzing alarm configurations captured within your Control Architect configuration snapshots, engineers can systematically rationalize alarm assignments — identifying poorly configured, redundant, or improperly prioritized alarms without requiring a live or dynamic connection to the control system. Exportable summary reports support the full ISA rationalization workflow, helping your team build and maintain a disciplined, standards-compliant alarm philosophy across your PCN.
The new PKS Hardware View delivers a structured, visual representation of your Honeywell PKS hardware topology directly within Control Architect. Engineers can browse controller chassis, I/O modules, and channel assignments derived from your configuration snapshot — all without requiring access to the live system.

A key capability of this new view is I/O Channel Reservation — engineers can now identify and formally reserve spare I/O channels directly within the hardware view, ensuring that available capacity is tracked, allocated, and protected from conflicting assignments across project teams. Combined with full spare I/O visibility across your entire PKS hardware inventory, the PKS Hardware View transforms I/O planning from a manual, error-prone spreadsheet exercise into a structured, configuration-driven workflow — accelerating project execution and reducing the risk of I/O conflicts during engineering and commissioning phases.
