This guide provides guidelines for the organization of fossil-fuled power generating plant alarm and monitoring information into types and categories, taking into consideration information usefulness and limitations. This guide further serves to establish guidelines for correlating type and category of alarm and monitoring information with the appropriate information display devices.

This guide provides guidelines for
the organization' of fossil-fueled power generating
plant alarm and monitoring information
into types and categories, taking into consideration
information usefulness and limitations.
This guide further serves to establish guidelines
for correlating type and category of alarm
and monitoring information with the appropriate
information-display devices.
Adherence to the categorization and the corresponding
information-display techniques presents
prioritized alarm and monitoring
information to the operator which is appropriately
proportioned between the window annunciator,
CRT, mimic display, and printer. This
also permits a reduction in the number of window
annunciators over historic practices.
It is the purpose of this guide to
define the logical classifications for categories
of plant information and to identify display techniques
available for monitoring and reporting
this information to plant personnel. Use of this
guide will:
(1) Aid engineers in achieving a balanced and
integrated design in alarm monitoring systems
(2) Assist control-room operator, supervisory,
and training personnel
(3) Improve proficiency of control room operators
(4) Enhance plant generating station safety,
efficiency, and availability
