New interface features for this data-management software
The new features of this company’s Plant Resource Manager (PRM) version R3.12 software provide robust central-management techniques for large amounts of data from plant-monitoring and control devices. The centrally located remote monitoring of field-device status provided by PRM R3.12 facilitates more efficiency in maintenance and diagnostics in many process industries, such as oil, natural gas, petrochemicals, chemicals, power, iron and steel, and pulp and paper. Self-diagnostic information (namely, failure, check-function, out-of-specification and maintenance-required data) is displayed in an intuitive format, enabling maintenance personnel to quickly prioritize actions. Also, network functions have been enhanced to include narrow-band wireless and satellite communications. — Yokogawa Corp. of America, Newnan, Ga.
