Overview
One of the challenges in improving the quality of alarms is reducing alarm chattering. There are times that an alarm cannot be removed or an alarm setpoint cannot be changed to resolve a noisy process signal causing a chattering alarm. When this occurs there are techniques that can be applied to the process signal or alarm to reduce alarm chattering. It is important to understand the effect each technique will have on the alarm or process measurement prior to implementing the technique.
