1.11.12. Console Alarm Analysis Report

Console Alarm Analysis Report

The Console Alarm Analysis Report provides a console-scoped view of alarm rationalization and station performance. Unlike the unit-wide alarm summary, this report is filtered to the tags and stations assigned to a specific operator console via the Console Mapping configuration.

Overview

The report produces a multi-worksheet Excel workbook that covers:

Tag-level alarm parameter rationalization status (Tag Data)
Consolidated alarm summary per tag (Alarm Summary)
Station performance across all stations facility-wide, with the reporting console highlighted (Station Summary)
ISA-18.2 §4.3 key performance indicators (ISA-18.2 KPIs)
Alarm counts broken down by block template (Template Breakdown)

See Understanding the Excel Report Layout for a full description of each worksheet.

Prerequisites

Before generating a Console Alarm Analysis Report, ensure the following are in place:

Console Mapping is configured for the target operator console – see Console Mapping Overview
Tag Data has been imported from the PKS Experion database for the relevant configuration collection
Block template classifications are set correctly – see Block Template Classification
Report Settings (thresholds, alarm parameters) are reviewed – see Report Settings

Workbook Structure

Worksheet	Scope	Description
Tag Data	Console-scoped	One row per tag assigned to the console; shows each alarm parameter and its rationalization status
Alarm Summary	Console-scoped	Aggregated rationalization counts per tag with color-coded status
Station Summary	Facility-wide	All stations in the facility; the active console is highlighted in blue; other consoles show a dash for console-specific counts
ISA-18.2 KPIs	Console-scoped	Key performance indicators aligned to ISA-18.2 §4.3
Template Breakdown	Console-scoped	Alarm counts grouped by block template type

Generating the Report

See Generating a Console Alarm Report for step-by-step instructions.

Note: The Station Summary worksheet always shows facility-wide data so that the reporting console can be compared against other consoles in context. Only the Tag Data, Alarm Summary, ISA-18.2 KPIs, and Template Breakdown worksheets are filtered to the active console scope.
