Ensure sensor configuration-data integrity with this module
Sensor Data Integrity is a new Automation Integrity module that enables industrial organizations to ensure configuration-data integrity for smart and traditional sensors with signal tracing and validation. This addition to Automation Integrity helps reduce both process safety and cybersecurity risk in support of digital transformation and Industry 4.0 initiatives. The new Sensor Data Integrity module provides multi-vendor: discovery of smart, industrial internet of things (IIoT) and traditional analog sensors; visibility to the complete inventory and potential cyber vulnerability for sensors; creation of templates to define approved configurations for each sensor type; automated detection of configuration errors; automated identification of devices that do not match assigned templates; cross-checking of parameters; support for large-scale, multi-site sensor deployments; and sensor signal tracing, validation and visualization. The information provided by Sensor Data Integrity can also be leveraged by sensor asset-management systems (AMS) to support instrument calibration, and can feed PAS Cyber Integrity to support cybersecurity vulnerability assessments. — PAS Global LLC, Houston
