1. A method that facilitates fault tuning for a device operating in an industrial process, comprising:
- employing at least one processor executing computer-executable instructions stored on a computer-readable storage medium to implement the following acts;
monitoring a timed event of the device during execution of the industrial process to determine a response time for the timed event; and
automatically adjusting a fault timer associated with the timed event according to the response time.

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.
