With this advance, the amount of information that automation systems are subjected to increased significantly. The alarms generated by the monitoring equipment are a major contributor to this increase, and the equipments are usually deployed in industrial plants without a formal methodology, which entails an increase in the number of alarms generated, thus overloading the alarm system and therefore the operators of such plants. In this context, the works of alarm management comes up with the objective of defining a formal methodology for installation of new equipment and detect problems in existing settings. This thesis aims to propose a set of metrics for the evaluation of alarm systems already deployed, so that you can identify the health of this system by analyzing the proposed indices and comparing them with parameters defined in the technical norms of alarm management. In addition, the metrics will track the work of alarm management, verifying if it is improving the quality of the alarm system. To validate the proposed metrics, data from actual process plants of the petrochemical industry were used / A evolu??o da automa??o nos ?ltimos anos tornou poss?vel o monitoramento cont?nuo dos processos de plantas industriais. Com esse avan?o, a quantidade de informa??o que os sistemas de automa??o est?o submetidos aumentou significativamente. Os alarmes gerados pelos equipamentos de monitora??o s?o um dos principais respons?veis por esse aumento, sendo que eles geralmente s?o implantados nas plantas industriais sem uma metodologia formal, o que acarreta um aumento do n?mero de alarmes gerados, sobrecarregando, assim, os sistemas de alarmes e por consequ?ncia os operadores dessas plantas. Neste contexto, o trabalho de gerenciamento de alarmes surge com o objetivo de definir uma metodologia formal para a instala??o de novos equipamentos e detectar problemas nas configura??es existentes. Esta disserta??o visa propor um conjunto de m?tricas para a avalia??o dos sistemas de alarmes j? implantados, de forma que seja poss?vel identificar a sa?de deste sistema analisando-se os ?ndices propostos e comparando-os com os par?metros definidos em normas t?cnicas da ?rea de gest?o de alarmes. Al?m disso, as m?tricas permitir?o o acompanhamento do trabalho de gerenciamento de alarmes, verificando se o mesmo est? melhorando a qualidade do sistema de alarme. Para valida??o das m?tricas propostas, utilizou-se dados provenientes de plantas de processo reais da ind?stria petroqu?mica

The master’s thesis „Support for instruction in electric fire alarm system” describes principles and engineering solution of electric fire alarm system. It is background for activity task about EPS for students in VUT in Brno. It illustrates how to act on this task and configuration fire panel and components EPS with the support of software FSP 5000. The practice contains proposal EPS with support in fire system designer.
