Abstract
To automate alarm management in modular production installations, provided is, with respect to a modular production installation, for which, for its modular, manufacturer-independent construction and operation, 'process equipment assembly' modules, controlled by a programmable PEA controller and simulated by means of a configurable PEA simulation, are integrated into the production installation, by means of a “module type package <MTP>” mechanism for the PEA module description, in the course of a process orchestration which is standardized the following is carried out in the alarm management: —all states of the modular production installation with respect to triggered faults of possible fault cases of the production installation are virtually run through and simulated; —simulation faults that occur are logged concomitantly by means of alarms, which provide identification and an alarm message log is created and/or alarm chains are identified and alarm relationships in the alarm chains are determined.
