With PRM and intelligent field devices, operators and maintenance personnel can monitor the condition of plant assets remotely. PRM’s diagnostic functions detect early signs of performance deterioration such as valve sticking and impulse line blocking. By helping curtail excessive preventive maintenance and enabling more predictive and proactive maintenance, PRM opens the way to Asset Predictability.

PRM supports a variety of connection methods:
- Via CENTUM CS 3000 R3, STARDOM, and ProSafe-RS
- Via HART multiplexer and HART modem
- Via FOUNDATION fieldbus communication card

Maintenance Information immediately notifies the right people (operators and/or maintenance personnel), depending on the type and criticality of the diagnostic data analysis. Necessary actions can be taken at the right time, maximizing productivity.
 |
The Device Navigation displays the status of plant-wide assets with a Windows Explorer-like interface. Flexible navigation mechanisms enable maintenance personnel to quickly identify areas of the plant that require online diagnosis.
|
Intuitive status icons for the field devices change color depending on the diagnostic conditions. Maintenance personnel can easily focus on specific plant areas and assets that require attention. |

PRM’s historical records automatically store PRM’s historical records automatically store information on the who, when, why, and what of the changes that are made to field assets, along with all alarms, diagnosis results, and maintenance work records. The historical record
data can be filtered and sorted for quick analysis.
|
PRM has a CMMS interface for Maximo®, the enterprise asset management (EAM) system from IBM Software, Inc. With an interface for CMMS, the Maximo can provide better maintenance operation by acquiring real-time device information from PRM when both systems are connected.

A more holistic approach to diagnostics
Going beyond individual device diagnostics, PRM Advanced Diagnostics Applications (PAA) integrate device data with process data to enable more holistic diagnostics for process equipment. Quick on-line diagnosis reduces the need for field inspections while condition-based maintenance minimizes plant downtime, both planned and unplanned. As a result, plant uptime is maximized.
User-friendly PAA templates simplify the implementation of online diagnostics
for all plant assets. Users can use the library of PAA templates to create customized diagnostic applications. For example:
| PAA templates |
Typical applications |
| Upper/lower limit check |
- Impulse line blocking diagnostics for differential pressure transmitters
- Gland packing diagnostics for control valves
- Electrode adhesion diagnostics for magnetic flowmeters
|
| Area monitoring |
Valve health monitoring |
| Data analysis for multiple devices |
Heat/steam trace diagnostics for a group of pressure transmitters |
