Systems and methods for generating an event-based data set using a computer implemented asset monitoring system are provided. An asset repository stores data related to one or more commissioned assets of an asset monitoring system. When event data is received from an asset, whether an asset maintenance record corresponding to the asset exists in the asset repository is determined based on comparing the data in the asset repository to the event data. When the asset maintenance record is determined to not exist in the asset repository, an asset identification record corresponding to the asset is rendered. The asset identification record comprises the event data and additional asset-related data collected from the asset. An event-based data set is generated based on the asset identification record.

Configuration-free alert monitoring

Systems and methods for generating an alert resolution status based on a contextualized alert. An asset repository stores asset-specific data for interpreting an asset parameter. A diagnostic contextualization component is coupled to the asset repository and generates the contextualized alert by retrieving data in the repository. The component also generates the alert resolution status based on determinations related to the contextualized alert.

System for contextualizing and resolving alerts

A customization tool is described in association with a universal device type manager (DTM) utility. The customization tool includes a set of user interfaces and associated functionality that facilitates creating a set of customized templates for a particular device type. The customized templates define access to device data via graphical user interfaces supported by the universal DTM utility and/or universal BTM utility for instances of the device type.

Tool for creating customized user interface definitions for a generic utility supporting on-demand creation of field device editor graphical user interfaces

A universal device type manager (DTM) utility is described herein including a generalized architecture facilitating defining and generating user interfaces associated with a variety of field device types. The utility includes a device description data store interface that provides access to a device description store wherein standard device descriptions (DD files) for a variety of field device types are maintained. No specialized customization is done to the device descriptions by the device or tool vendors. A device type template store interface provides access to a set of device type manager definitions. A device type manager engine renders, on-demand, a device type manager user interface providing user access to parameters and other information for a field device type/instance based upon: (1) a device description and (2) a device type manager definition.

Generic utility supporting on-demand creation of customizable graphical user interfaces for viewing and specifying field device parameters

A method and user interfaces are described herein installing a field device as a replacement for a previously installed field device of a same type in a process control system. The disclosed method includes initially specifying a device type commissioning definition that includes a set of device-type specific parameters. A first set of instance-specific configuration parameter values are then stored for a first field device. When replacing the first field device by a second field device of the same type on a process control network, the commissioning definition and the previously stored parameters for the first device are used to automatically configure the second device.

Method and supporting configuration user interfaces for streamlining installing replacement field devices

A device management utility is described that includes a generalized graphical user interface facilitating access to a variety of resources associated with selected device types. In particular, the utility includes information interfaces communicatively linking the utility of a variety of data sources. In addition, the utility includes a graphical user interface display providing a variety of information associated with a selected device type. Such information includes device identification information, links to supplemental resources, and a set of screen selection controls for exposing multiple functional modes of operation of the device management utility.
