Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Q&A for Continuous Basic Chemical Production: Tool Calling and Plugins

Data for this category comes from DCS/SIS systems, online analyzers, LIMS systems, equipment condition monitoring modules, energy metering devices

What this category's data looks like

Data for this category comes from DCS/SIS systems, online analyzers, LIMS systems, equipment condition monitoring modules, energy metering devices, and raw material storage tank data terminals. Data is updated in three frequencies: real-time, shift-based, and daily. Daily documents include operating procedures, process indicator cards, DCS trend charts, laboratory reports, interlock bypass records, special work permits, and shift logs. Most fields have clear units: MPa, m³/h, and ℃ for process parameters, and mm/s, ℃ for equipment monitoring data.

Constraints on Tool Calling and Plugins

Real-time process and equipment data demands that tool calling chain latency stays within a reasonable range to avoid impacting emergency response. Documents with multiple update frequencies must match corresponding synchronization cycles to keep knowledge base content synchronized with on-site operating conditions. Diverse document structures including tables, trend charts, and forms require plugins to support multi-format file parsing and adapt to extraction logic for different fields. Retrieval of content related to strong interlocks and hazardous media must prioritize high-confidence data sources to prevent abnormal device states caused by incorrect tool calls.

Configuration Settings

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
Workflow/API tool selectionAuto modeAdapts to mixed calling scenarios for multiple document types and real-time data
Document parsing plugin selectionSpecialized plugin adapted for PDF, CSV, and trend chart formatsCovers common operating procedures, laboratory reports, and DCS trend documents for this category

Tool call result recall limitTop 8 entriesBalances retrieval efficiency and coverage of critical information
Workflow/API function-call configurationEnable mandatory validationEnsures tool call parameters match on-site equipment parameters to avoid misoperations
Trigger rule configurationLink with real-time alarms based on equipment inspection cyclesMatches real-time operating conditions and regular inspection rhythms for continuous basic chemical production

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • An error occurs when calling a single process PDF with more than 200 pages, while small PDF files parse normally. The interface returns a parsing failure log. The root cause is that the single-file page limit of the document parsing plugin has not been adjusted, and the long document format for continuous basic chemical production has not been adapted.
  • After a locally deployed document parsing plugin starts, the interface displays the error "Cannot read properties of undefined". The front-end page fails to load the plugin module. The root cause is that the plugin version does not match the interface specification of FastGPT v4.17.0, and locally deployed port parameters have not been correctly configured.
  • Confusing parameters for legacy proxy tools and new AI proxy tools when configuring tool calls. The tool call returns authentication failure or timeout errors. The root cause is that the proxy configuration has not been updated per the version requirements of FastGPT v4.17.0, and the interface address and secret key of the new proxy have not been correctly filled in.

How to Verify the Configuration Is Complete

  • Upload a PDF containing multi-page interlock bypass records, check if the parsed chunked content covers all fields, and confirm the parsing plugin is working properly.
  • Trigger a tool call combined with a real-time alarm, check if the call log includes the inspection cycle parameters of the corresponding equipment, and confirm the trigger rule is active.
  • View the tool call configuration interface, confirm that the settings for toolChoice and functionCall match the preset plan, and confirm that the proxy tool configuration parameters are correct.
  • Submit a device maintenance-related query, check if the returned results include associated content from process indicator cards and DCS trends, and confirm the retrieval scope is correct.
