1.2 Exclusions and inclusions
1.2.1 Operators
The functions of the operator receiving and responding to alarms are included in the scope of
this standard. Management of operators is excluded from the scope of this standard.
1.2.2 Process sensors and final control elements
The alarms from sensors and final control elements are included in the scope of this standard. Process sensors and final control elements are shown in Figure 1 to indicate alarms can be implemented in these devices. The design and management of process sensors and final control elements are excluded from the scope of this standard.
1.2.3 Annunciator panels
The integration of independent alarm annunciator panels into an alarm system is included in the scope of this standard. The specification and design of annunciator panels is excluded from the scope of this standard. ISA-18.1-1979 (R2004), Annunciator Sequences and Specifications, provides information on alarm annunciator functions.
1.2.4 Human machine interface
The appearance of alarms in the HMI and functions of alarm related displays are included in the scope of this standard. The design and maintenance of the HMI are excluded from this standard. ANSI/ISA-1O1.O1-2015, Human Machine Interfaces for Process Automation Systems, provides information on HMI.
1.2.5 Safety instrumented systems
The alarms from safety instrumented systems are included in the scope of this standard. The safety instrumented system (SIS) is shown in Figure 1 to indicate alarms can be implemented in these devices. The design and management of safety instrumented systems are excluded from this standard. ISA-84.OO.O1, Functional Safety: Safety Instrumented Systems for the Process Industry Sector — Part 1: Framework, Definitions, System, Hardware and Software Requirements, provides information on safety instrumented systems.
1.2.6 Fire detection and protective systems and security systems
The alarms and diagnostics from fire detection and protective systems or security systems that are presented to the operator through the control system are included in the scope of this standard. The design and management of fire detection and protective systems and security systems are excluded from the scope of this standard.
1.2.7 Event data
The indication and processing of analog, discrete, and event data other than alarm indications are excluded from the scope of this standard. The analysis techniques using both alarm and event data are excluded from the scope of this standard.
1.2.8 Alarm identification methods
Required methods of alarm identification are not specified in this standard. Examples of alarm
identification methods are listed.
1.2.9 Management of change
A specific management of change (MOC) procedure is not included in this standard. Some requirements and recommendations for a MOC procedure are included.
4.3 Use of required functionalities
This standard requires certain control system functionalities (e.g., shelving) to support the alarm system. A functionality is not required where the alarm philosophy states the functionality is not used.
4.4 Responsibility
Conformance to this standard is the responsibility of the owner/operator.
5 Alarm system models
5.1 Alarm systems
Alarm systems are used to communicate indications of abnormal process conditions or equipment malfunctions to the operators, the personnel monitoring and operating the process, and support the response. Effective alarm systems are well designed, implemented, operated, and maintained. Alarm management is the set of practices and processes that ensures an effective alarm system.
A foundational part of alarm management is the definition of an alarm; an audible and/or visible means of indicating to the operator an equipment malfunction, process deviation, or abnormal condition requiring a timely response. An essential element of this definition is the response to the alarm. This definition is reinforced in the alarm management processes described in this standard.ANSI ISA 18.2 pdf download.
