Resumen:
A satisfactory configuration of instruments was achieved by means of
a rigorous analysis of the relationships among the state variables, which were
defined through the equations that model process behaviour. The design
comprises two main stages called observability and redundancy analysis. The
complete procedure involves making engineering-level decisions concerning the
addition or removal of sensors at various points. This complex task was carried
out efficiently with the help of a decision-support system (DSS) that orients the
user. The concepts of Computer-Aided Design were applied to help the engineers
choose the most convenient measurements. In this work we present the first
stages of the re-engineering of a DSS for process-plant instrumentation design.
Next, Modgen`s design, architecture, and functionality are revised. It is explained
how to deal with complex software that results from a chaotic generation by the
constant incorporation of new tools. The purpose of this work was to turn an
existing DSS into a robust trustworthy user- and developer-friendly system.
