Abstract
System(s) and procedure(s) facilitate monitoring of devices and automatic adjustment of fault timing parameters. A fault tuning component is embedded within a control module involved in a batch operation. The component executes a configurable tuning method that allows one or more devices to automatically tune fault timers. The fault tuning component can probe a number of events/operations to create a rolling average of device response, where the operational response for normal operation can be automatically adjusted as a result.
