PA-DIM Use Cases

PA-DIM USE CASES

In Release 1.0 the specification addresses NAMUR NOA use cases.  These use cases represent the types of activities that NAMUR members would like to be able to complete independent of process automation protocols.  The use cases are an important component of the NAMUR Open Architecture.

Release 1.0 Use Cases

NOA: Device Health / Remote Diagnostics     NOA: DeviceLifecycle/ Storage     NOA: Dimensioning
design check
(for sensors & actuators)

Monitoring of the device health including status, possible cause and further details

   

Storing of NOA device parameters including their history.

   

Monitor devices over time for their operating range and verify, if their dimensioning is appropriate (e.g.not over dimensioned).

 

NOA: Unique Identification     NOA: Automated as Build     NOA: Multivariable Read

Identify a device including Manufacturer, Model, SerialNumber, Hardware and Software Revision, Product Code and AssetID (Tag for Device).
