Abstract

In industrial processes, a large number of alarms displayed on human–machine interface screens may overwhelm human operators. This prevents them from taking appropriate corrective actions in a timely manner. Therefore, this paper proposes a three-stage computational procedure for grouping and visualizing correlated alarms, such that root-cause abnormalities can be more easily identified by the human operators. In the first stage, using a word embedding-based approach, alarm tags are transformed into real-valued vectors, where time stamps of the alarms are used rather than their order of occurrence. In the second stage, a multi-level density-based clustering approach is utilized to group correlated alarms hierarchically. In the third stage, a hierarchical visualization approach is developed to display alarm groups to human operators, which depicts hierarchical and statistical information. The implementation and effectiveness of the three-stage computational procedure are demonstrated using an alarm dataset generated for the benchmark Tennessee Eastman process system.
利用时间增强词嵌入对相关警报进行分层分组和可视化处理
在工业流程中,人机界面屏幕上显示的大量警报可能会让操作员不知所措。这使他们无法及时采取适当的纠正措施。因此,本文提出了一种分三个阶段的计算程序,用于对相关警报进行分组和可视化,从而使人类操作员更容易识别异常的根本原因。在第一阶段,使用基于词嵌入的方法,将警报标签转换为实值向量,其中使用警报的时间戳而不是其发生顺序。在第二阶段,利用基于密度的多级聚类方法将相关警报分级分组。在第三阶段,开发了一种分级可视化方法,用于向人工操作员显示警报组,其中描述了分级和统计信息。使用为基准田纳西伊士曼流程系统生成的警报数据集,演示了三阶段计算程序的实施和有效性。

期刊介绍: Control Engineering Practice strives to meet the needs of industrial practitioners and industrially related academics and researchers. It publishes papers which illustrate the direct application of control theory and its supporting tools in all possible areas of automation. As a result, the journal only contains papers which can be considered to have made significant contributions to the application of advanced control techniques. It is normally expected that practical results should be included, but where simulation only studies are available, it is necessary to demonstrate that the simulation model is representative of a genuine application. Strictly theoretical papers will find a more appropriate home in Control Engineering Practice''s sister publication, Automatica. It is also expected that papers are innovative with respect to the state of the art and are sufficiently detailed for a reader to be able to duplicate the main results of the paper (supplementary material, including datasets, tables, code and any relevant interactive material can be made available and downloaded from the website). The benefits of the presented methods must be made very clear and the new techniques must be compared and contrasted with results obtained using existing methods. Moreover, a thorough analysis of failures that may happen in the design process and implementation can also be part of the paper. The scope of Control Engineering Practice matches the activities of IFAC. Papers demonstrating the contribution of automation and control in improving the performance, quality, productivity, sustainability, resource and energy efficiency, and the manageability of systems and processes for the benefit of mankind and are relevant to industrial practitioners are most welcome.
