Reset PLM values after large deviations using the PLM Resets dialog

  • Last UpdatedApr 24, 2025
  • 4 minute read

Whenever large deviations occur at a given point, they can affect the cumulative results over time. To avoid this, you can reset various values. This prevents continuous alarming on conditions that have already been dealt with.

Note: The change for the current (and previous) contract day is not reset.

To execute a Reset

  1. Select Resets in the Pipeline Monitoring (PLM) Controls menu.

    The PLM Resets dialog appears.

  2. Select the button corresponding to the type of reset you want to perform.

  3. Select Yes in the Confirmation dialog.

    The PLM Resets dialog appears.
