Hi,
We do not use SCADA monitoring for a lot of reasons. We have control systems and have independent systems that monitor our processes. We developed this monitoring system in-house and have reached a problem and I would like to get some feedback from this forum. We have around 100 global sites, 1,000's of devices (generators, PDU's, SWBD's, UPS's, etc.), and 10,000's of points from the devices. We do a lot of scheduled maintenance on weekends, some on weekdays. Because we have so many sites with a lot of equipment we end up doing multiple device maintenance each weekend. We sometimes find that our facilities people miss alarms because they think regular alarms are just being generated due to maintenance. I was thinking about suppression, but my concern is this will introduce other problems.
Any thoughts or references to research/white papers, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
