ComplianceBuilder Process Control

ComplianceBuilder / Process Control is designed to collect data from an OPC server ( e.g., shop floor or SCADA system). The data is permanently stored to a RDBMS and users are prompted for compliance-mandated acknowledgement/sign-off of events and alarms. Compliance Builder / Process Control offers a variety of data tracking capabilities: configurable alarm conditioning, process recipes and recipe downloads, set-point change tracking, machine parameters, system events, logon/logoff events, and user events. Compliance Builder / Process Control allows great flexibility in how you configure different parts of your system.

ComplianceBuilder Process Control Features

Event and Alarm Notifications upon detecting an event or an alarm condition, CB / PC issues and routes a notification to a specified user or group of users. You can specify whether notification sign-off is required, and how long CB / PC should wait before it “times out” an unacknowledged notification.
Tag Monitoring Libraries are libraries that define groups of PLC variables. You tell CB / PC how to process the variables’ tag values. Active Tag Monitoring Libraries contain trigger settings that enable/disable tag value processing.
PLC Variables…Tag Monitoring Items can be individually configured for processing based on a timer, the change in a tag value, or on detecting an alarm condition. You also tell CB / PC to issue notifications for these kinds of value changes, and whether the notifications require a user sign-off.
The Trend Report displays time-based changes in PLC variable values written to the database according to user-defined time intervals. This report data can be viewed in table or graph format.
Tag Change Report displays tag-based value changes and alarms over a time period you select. Included are the current tag values for the PLC variables you select plus these variables’ previous values.
SCADA Alarm History Report displays FIX alarms that CB / PC reads from the Fix alarm queue. Associated alarm limits are included in the report.
ComplianceBuilder Alarm History Report displays the alarms that CB / PC issues when a PLC variable tag value leaves its alarm range. You configure these alarm conditions in a CB / PC Tag Monitoring Library.
