Is there a fairly simple way to have a confirmation "pop up" (in DeltaV Operate) anytime an operator enters a setpoint change greater than a predetermined amount?
In other words, say an operator opens up a PID faceplate and makes a setpoint change larger than an amount that I set in Control Studio. I want a pop up display asking something like "Are you sure you want to make this change?", then the operator would have the option of clicking "yes" or "no" before the change would go through. I'm trying to cut down on what I refer to as Fat Fingering.
We are running DeltaV 13.3
Thanks,
I have implemented something similar, but not exactly what you are asking for.
We enter setpoints, outputs, and mode changes via a dynamo. Our operators do not typically use faceplates other than to call up trends.
This is typically the dynamo we use.
When the operator clicks the setpoint box it brings up a form that was created in VB. The visual basic performs the
setpoint checking math, and prompts if the new setpoint is greater than a 5% change. If the change is within the 5%
range the setpoint changes without any further prompting. I have attached the code below.
You can change the math to suit your needs in the VB code. Hope this helps.
