Alarm handling, A-B-C evaluation limits & noise metrics

Cyclic test sequence with graduated alarming.

What it is about
Station: Alarm Handling Simulation Category: Automation & sequence control

Shows the SonicTC alarm system bundled into one workflow: an acceleration sensor is measured cyclically, then the noise metrics SNR and SINAD are calculated as characteristics and checked against graduated evaluation limits. Depending on the result the sequence raises either a warning or a critical alarm with dynamic message text. The error flow demonstrates automatic reactions to alarms: restarting the sensor on poor data quality and a PLC warning on high database load.

The sequence in detail

Workflows in detail

  1. Main

    Cyclic test sequence with graduated alarming.

    Start → endless loop (start trigger → acceleration sensor measurement → sensor quality analysis → if "low quality": warning alarm → if "bad quality": critical alarm → store) → end; error flow with a sensor restart loop and a database alarm including a PLC warning output.

  2. Sensor Quality Check

    Characteristic block quantifying the signal quality.

    Characteristic start → SNR → SINAD → characteristic end.
