Octave Tempo Control System Effectiveness
Formerly PAS PlantState Integrity. Unify alarm, control loop and protection layer data into actionable insights.
Transform data into action for safer, smarter operations
Improve operator awareness and risk management
Tempo Control System Effectiveness (formerly PAS PlantState Integrity) is a comprehensive platform providing critical visibility into alarm systems, control loops, operational boundaries and independent protection layers (IPLs). It contextualizes multi-source data into actionable insights, improving operator awareness, mitigating abnormal situations and enhancing plant safety, reliability and profitability.
Key features driving operational excellence
From alarms to IPLs, optimize every layer of safety and control. Reduce noise, monitor limits, automate reporting and tune loops with precision to help your teams detect, prevent and respond faster to keep production safe, stable and efficient.
Simplify and improve alarm management
Enable immediate, significant reduction of nuisance alarms. Facilitate regulatory compliance, avoid upset conditions that impact production and improve operator detection and response to abnormal situations.
Operate within process boundary limits
Aggregate, validate and display safe operating limits in real-time. Present safe operating limits within control display systems and allow operators to instantly determine a plant’s current state relative to its safe operating limits.
Ensure IPL function availability and performance
Optimize plant resources by automating Independent Protection Layer (IPL) integrity reporting. Facilitate the lifecycle support of all safety infrastructure within a facility and provide an audit trail for compliance.
Control loop optimization
Monitor control loops to diagnose and expose potential issues with sensors, valves and controllers so they can be addressed before safety risks occur and profitability is affected.
Take the guesswork out of tuning
Calculate optimal PID controllers and filter settings for control loop optimization, thereby eliminating the guesswork from tuning, enhancing process safety, improving preventative maintenance and lowering operating costs.
Multiple assets, one solution
Manage all your alarms seamlessly regardless of where they come from with a dynamic, simple-to-use, vendor-agnostic solution.
