Optimal Design of Univariate Alarm Systems
摘要
This chapter is on the optimal design of three commonly-used univariate alarm systemsUnivariate alarm system: Basic alarm generators, alarm delay timers and alarm deadbands. Optimal values of alarm thresholds, delay factors and deadband widths are designed to achieve desired performance requirements on false alarms, missed alarms and detection delays. Different methods are proposed for dealing with process variables that are independent and identically distributedIndependent and identically distributed (IID) or non-IID. Numerical and industrial examples are provided to illustrate the proposed methods.
