Abstract: According to one aspect of a technique the present disclosure, there is provided a method of identifying a cause of an abnormality, including: (a) outputting an alarm indicating the failure detected based on sensor information; (b) acquiring a plurality of apparatus data comprising a plurality piece of the sensor information related to the alarm; (c) comparing each of the apparatus data with a threshold value; and (d) when none of the apparatus data acquired in (b) exceed the threshold value according to a comparison result in (c), identifying a specific apparatus data among the plurality of apparatus data closest to the threshold value as a factor of generating the alarm.

Abstract: According to one aspect of a technique the present disclosure, there is provided a processing apparatus including: an apparatus controller including a memory storing apparatus data containing monitor data containing sensor information and an alarm indicating a failure detected based on the sensor information and an alarm analysis table containing analysis items. The apparatus controller is capable of outputting the alarm containing an alarm ID for specifying a type and an occurrence time of the alarm; specifying candidates of the analysis items from the alarm ID; acquiring monitor data corresponding to the candidates; determining a rank of the cause of the alarm according to a difference between monitor data at the occurrence time and a predetermined threshold value; and displaying a relationship between the monitor data and the threshold value. The display screen displays an occurrence history of the alarm and history of acquiring the monitor data.
