Abstract
A server is configured as a translator between a data source and a client. The data source detects at least one diagnostic parameter from a field device. The server outputs a value of the at least one diagnostic parameter to the client in real time. The client identifies one or more active error messages from the value of the at least one diagnostic parameter. A maintenance trouble ticket is automatically generated based on the one or more active error messages.
Claims20
A method for automated maintenance of plant assets, the method comprising:
- configuring a server as a translator between a data source and a client;
- detecting, by the data source, at least one diagnostic parameter from a field device;
- outputting, by the server, a parameter value of the at least one diagnostic parameter to the client in real time;
- identifying, by the client, one or more active error messages from the parameter value of the at least one diagnostic parameter;
- and
- automatically generating a maintenance trouble ticket based on the one or more active error messages.
A system for monitoring maintenance of plant assets, the system comprising:
- a computerized control system for a plant;
- a computerized database system to receive at least one diagnostic parameter from at least one field device;
- and
- a server configured as a translator between the computerized database system and the computerized control system, the server to output a parameter value of the at least one diagnostic parameter to the computerized control system in real time;
- wherein the computerized control system comprises instructions that when executed by a processor causes the computerized control system to:
- identify one or more active error messages from the parameter value of the at least one diagnostic parameter;
- and
- generate a plurality of maintenance trouble ticket parameters based on the one or more active error messages.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having recorded thereon instructions that when executed by a processor associated with a client causes the client to:
- communicate with a server that is configured as a translator between the client and a data source;
- receive in real time a parameter value of at least one diagnostic parameter associated with a field device from the data source via the server;
- identify one or more active error messages from the parameter value of the at least one diagnostic parameter;
- and
- trigger automatic generation of a maintenance trouble ticket based on the one or more active error messages.
