Abstract:
A plant includes equipment that operate to affect a variable state or condition of the plant in response to a control signal. A feedback controller monitors a process variable received via a feedback signal from the plant and uses an error signal representing a setpoint error between the process variable and a setpoint to generate the control signal for the plant. An exponentially-weighted moving average (EWMA) calculator generates EWMA values based on the setpoint error. A normalized index generator uses the EWMA values to calculate a normalized performance index. A threshold generator generates a threshold based on a first alarm parameter κ representing a normalized magnitude of the setpoint error and a second alarm parameter η representing a normalized duration that the setpoint error has persisted. An alarm manager generates an alarm in response to the normalized performance index crossing the threshold.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 9 , wherein generating the threshold comprises using predetermined values for the alarm parameters \u03ba and \u03b7 without requiring knowledge of any variables or parameters that are specific to the feedback control system.
