An overview of your plant and business status from virtually anywhere SPPA-T3000 offers the unique ability for operators, shift supervisors, maintenance and service personnel to perform their tasks from almost any workplace. The SPPA-T3000 Workbench is designed to integrate all views for plant operations, modifications, tuning, configuration, I&C diagnostics or optimization. Simply start the Workbench from any screen via an Internet browser, and you can access Plant Displays, the Point View, Function Diagrams or Diagnostics View depending on your assigned role and access rights. Simplified working procedures When plant personnel need comprehensive information about any individual device or function, the Point View offers all information, including real-time values, configuration data, parameters, etc., related to each individual object at the click of a mouse. The Point View not only displays information, but also provides the ability to perform operations, point forcing or modifications from virtually every workplace. The Workbench offers the different views to perform operation, engineering and I&C diagnostics functions. The Point View shows all data and information related to a tag in a clear format. It also provides the ability to navigate to other views. 10

11 Customized displays for consistent, user-friendly and user-specific operation User-specific desktops tailored to individual roles provide the right view for operation, maintenance, engineering, optimization or management. You can customize the interface to meet your needs. Modifications can easily be made, right from the point where the necessity is recognized, to configure online, change displays and modify settings. Different styles can be switched even online. Even different users can display different styles to work according to their own preferences. Accelerated analysis helps ensure trouble-free plant operation During critical situations a quick and comprehensive overview is essential. SPPA-T3000 provides a sophisticated alarm system designed to enable operators to control any situation. The alarm information, as well as the way in which it is displayed, is easily customized. The trip report facilitates troubleshooting following a plant incident. Reports can be generated automatically, and can easily be adapted to meet any requirement. Also, generated reports can be stored in standard printer format or in a commercial spreadsheet format, such as pdf or csv, for further processing in an office environment or at a later time. Just a mouse click away one source for plant optimization SPPA-T3000 is designed to provide archiving of all information throughout the plant lifetime. Reconstruction and analysis of start-ups, trip events and plant equipment malfunctions are possible. The information can be used for process optimization and improvement of production in alignment with business goals. Applications such as plant management, production planning, expert systems and optimization programs can access the archived data via standard interfaces. This Alarm Sequence Displays (ASD) shows all alarms in a chronological sequence. The plant topology on the left side supports fast navigations and selections. Additionally, the ASD can be displayed in Alarm Point View, which shows one line for all alarm types of an alarm source, including an alarm counter. This screenshot shows the call-up of a stored analog report. The same display enables both the creation and generation of reports. 11
