Integrity documents the interdependencies between various systems and data structures (points, display objects, registers, etc.) and displays them in either textual or graphical format to facilitate troubleshooting during the project. It automatically identifies configuration defects such as missing references and out of range parameter settings, which dramatically reduces the time spent in factory acceptance testing. Additionally, it provides automated management of change functionality to track and display modifications.
Differences between the data versions are highlighted and time stamped. These capabilities can reduce the amount of engineering time spent on migration projects by up to 10%.
Conclusion
As seen in the industry cases presented, the loss of critical automation knowledge, the escalating complexity of installed systems, and ever-increasing regulatory compliance requirements are conspiring to create an automation knowledge crisis in the process industries. Integrity Software from PAS can help you survive this critical situation by capturing the knowledge embedded in automation systems and exposing it in context, when and where it is needed. There are tremendous benefits to be gained by accessing one’s current automation-related risks, and developing a plan to manage and preserve the priceless knowledge within the automation systems.
