Page 13: Using The Maintenance Station
Using the Maintenance Station Application, version and configuration Application Maintenance station focuses on "Plant Asset Management" and enables preventive and predictive diagnostics and maintenance of the plant. In parallel with process control, the maintenance station makes available consistent maintenance information and functions for the system components (assets). While the plant operator receives all process-relevant information and can intervene selectively in the process via the operator system (OS), the maintenance engineer inspects the automation system hardware and processes the associated diagnostic messages and...
