Abstract
Alarm system is one of the most important element of the plant-operator interfaces in the industrial plants. Alarm lifecycle management is very important to maintain the safety, quality, environmental and economic efficiency of the plant. In our previous study, we proposed the method to select adequate alarm variables and evaluation method in diagnostic and timely manner. In this study, we proposed a method to determine the setpoints for alarm system using three indices and the results of dynamic process simulation on the rationalization stage of the lifecycle of alarm management. And we also presented feasibility of our method by demonstration of a case study.
