1.1Basic Control Loop

In any process plant, the parameters generally measured are Level, Flow, Temperature, Pressureetc The transmitter converts the process input into a 4-20mA current signal. This signal is given asinput or process variable (PV) to the controller. The desired value is given as the set point or setvariable (SV) to the controller. The function of a controller is to match the PV with the SV and make thedeviation zero. In order to achieve this, the controller checks the deviation continuously (DV=PV-SV)and tries to make the deviation zero. The controller generates the output or the manipulated variable(MV) based on the deviation. The generated MV is also in terms of 4-20mA current signal.

However the final control element in most of the cases is pneumatically operated control valves.

Hence an I/P converter (Current to Pneumatic signal converter) is used to convert the 4-20mA currentsignal to 3-15psi or 0.2 to 1 kg pressure signal which is used to operate the control valve.

1.2 Process Control Methodology

For the controller to match the process value with the set value and calculate the manipulated value,various control methodologies are used. The commonly used control methodologies are:

Feedback Control: It is a control in which the controller continuously checks the deviation between

the input and the set point and always corrects the input to match the set point.

Feed forward Control: It is a control in which corrective action is taken by measuring the disturbanceand directly driving the final control element before it affects the process.

Sequential Control: It is a control which successively advances each control step in accordance witha predefined sequence.

1.3 Process Control Systems

A process control system comprises of multiple simple and complex control loops.Process control systems are primarily classified into:

Analog Control Systems

Digital Control Systems

1.3.1 Analog Control System

Analog control system uses operational amplifiers to do the control function.

In an analog control system, the process parameters are measured by the transmitter. Thetransmitter generates 4 to 20 mA current signal corresponding to 0 to 100% of the process parametermeasured. This signal is converted to 1 to 5V DC and given as input signal to the operational amplifier.The desired set point is also given to the operational amplifier. The operational amplifier calculatesthe output based on the input and the set point. The 4 20 mA current output is given to an I/Pconverter and then to the final control element.

1.3.2 Digital Control System

Digital control system uses microprocessors to do the control function.

In a digital control system, the process parameters are measured by the transmitter. The transmittergenerates 4 to 20 mA current signal corresponding to 0 to 100% of the process parameter measured.This signal is converted by signal converter into a voltage signal. Analog to Digital Converters are

used to convert this analog signal to digital signal. This digital signal is given to the microprocessorfor processing. Digital Control system uses microprocessors to do the control function.

Digital control systems are preferred over analog control systems since it is easy to interface withcomputers for data analysis.

1.4 Digital Control Systems

Digital Control Systems are further classified into: Centralized Control Systems (CCS)

Distributed Control Systems (DCS)

1.4.1 Centralized Control System

CCS is a centralized control, centralized monitoring system. All the inputs from the field are given to asingle CPU. The relevant set points are also given to the same CPU. The outputs are also taken fromthe same CPU.

In a Centralized Control System, all the field inputs PV1to PVnare fed to a single CPU, the relevant setpoints SV1to SVnare also given to the same CPU and all the outputs MV1to MVnare also taken fromthe same CPU. Hence if the CPU fails, the whole plant gets affected.

1.4.2 Drawbacks of Centralized Control System

1.4.3 Distributed Control System

DCS is distributed control and centralized monitoring system. In a Distributed Control System, thecontrol function is distributed, but the monitoring is still centralized. All the n field inputs are not fed toa single CPU. Instead they are distributed among multiple CPUs. In DCS terminology, CPUs arereferred as Field Control Stations (FCS).

Let us consider that there are n parameters from the field to be monitored and controlled in a plant.The signal distribution is done as shown in the figure.

1.4.4 Advantages of Distributed Control System

Control function is distributed among multiple CPUs (Field Control Stations). Hence failure ofone FCS does not affect the entire plant.

Redundancy is available at various levels.

Instruments and interlocks are created by software.

Generation and modifications of the interlocks are very flexible and simple.

Information regarding the process is presented to the user in various formats.

Field wiring is considerably less.

Maintenance and trouble shooting becomes very easy.

Cost effective in the long run.

1.5 Distributed Control System

In a Distributed Control System, the control function is distributed, but the monitoring is stillcentralized. The basic components of a DCS are:

Field Control Station.

Operator Station.

Communication Bus.

FCS Field Control Station):

The Field Control Station is used to control the process. All the instruments and interlocks created bysoftware reside in the memory of the FCS. All the field instruments like transmitters and control valvesare wired to the FCS.

OPS Operator Station):

The operator station is used to monitor the process and to operate various instruments.

Communication Bus:

Communication bus is used to communicate between the Field Control Station and the OperatorStation.

6.1 Function Block Modes

Block mode indicates the current mode in which an instrument is operating. There are different modesavailable for an instrument.

MAN (Manual)

AUT (Auto)

CAS (Cascade)

PRD (Primary Direct)

6.1.1Manual Mode MAN)

In this mode the instrument or function block needs to be manually operated.The manipulated value (MV) or set value (SV) can be changed by the user.In manual mode, the MV pointer appears in red colour and the SV pointerappears in yellow colour.

6.1.2 Auto Mode AUT)

In this mode the operator would provide the desired set point. The instrumentwould respond automatically to the PV changes based on the set point given bythe operator and would generate the MV values.

In Auto mode, the SV pointer appears in red colour and the MV pointer appearsin yellow colour. While the SV of the instrument can be changed, the MV cannotbe changed by any method in this mode.

6.1.3 Cascade Mode CAS)

In a cascade loop the output of the primary controller (MV1) goes as set pointof the secondary controller (SV2). The output of the secondary controller (MV2)goes to the final control element.

For a cascade loop, the primary controller can be in AUT or MAN mode, but thesecondary controller has to be in CAS mode. In cascade mode both the SV andMV pointers appear in yellow color. Both the SV and MV cannot be changed.

7/24/2019 VPOP

59/141

TE Y109JA01E-VPOP

6.1.4 Primary Direct Mode PRD)

In normal cascade mode the output of the primary controller (MV1) goes as set point of the secondarycontroller (SV2). The output of the secondary controller (MV2) goes to the final control element.

In PRD mode the output of the primary controller (MV1) directly goes to the final control element. Thesecondary controller is bypassed and cannot be operated.

The PRD mode can be set from the tuning view of the secondary controller.

6.1.5 Initialization Manual IMAN)

IMAN is not a mode status, but a mode sub-status.In a cascade loop, if the cascade is broken by taking the secondary controller from CAS to either AUTor MAN mode, IMAN appears as the mode sub status of the primary controller.

IMAN indicates that

Cascade loop is broken Primary controller is bypassed

Primary controller cannot be operated due to SV tracking.

In SV tracking the output of the primary controller (MV1) automatically tracks the set point of thesecondary controller (SV2) to have bump less transfer to CAS mode.

The primary controller can be brought out of IMAN mode by changing the mode status of thesecondary controller to CAS. The primary controller will automatically come out of IMAN mode andstart functioning normally.

8.1 Contact Input

Contact inputs are process inputs which handle ON/OFF signals such as DC voltages and currents.The ON/OFF signal is a digital value of either 0 or 1, which together with an indication of the quality ofthat value, shows the status of the process data item.

Contact input modules are classified into the following two types according to the input signal.

Status input moduleUsed for monitoring the status of contact inputs. ON/OFF status of input contact signals is used as themeasured value (raw data).

Pushbutton input moduleUsed for the input signal from pushbutton switches where the signal status change from ON to OFF orvice versa is momentary.

Contact Inputs are used to indicate:

ON / OFF status of pumps, motors, heaters, etc.

OPEN / CLOSE status of on-off valves.

The faceplate of contact inputs is as shown. The faceplates canbe called from the Name Input Tool Box.

The system code for contact inputs is:%ZnnusccSddss where,

%Z - Process Input/Output

nn - node numberu - I/O unit numbers - Slot numbercc - Channel numberS - Stationdd - Domain numberss - Station number

A potential free contact is taken from the equipment under operation in the field to indicate whetherthe equipment is running or not. In case of valve, contact is taken from limit switches to indicatewhether the valve is open or close in the field at any point of time. These signals are wired as contact

inputs to the system. When the digital input process value is 1, it indicates that physically the contactconnected to the Digital Input card is closed in the field.

When the digital input process value is 0, it indicates that physically the contact connected to theDigital Input card is open in the field.

8.2 Contact Output

Contact outputs are process outputs which handle ON/OFF signals such as DC voltages and currents.The ON/OFF signal is a digital value of either 0 or 1, which together with an indication of the quality of

that value, shows the status of the process data item.

Contact Outputs are used to:

Switch ON / OFF pumps, motors, heaters etc

OPEN / CLOSE on-off valves.

Common switches with element number %SW0001 to %SW0400 are fixed as system switches.Common switches with element number %SW0401 to %SW4000 may be freely defined by users.

8.3.2 Global Switches

A global switch is an internal switch with the same logical value on all stations in the same domain.The value of global switch assigned to the present station can be checked and defined from anyapplication on a station. Up to 256 write-enable global switches can be assigned to each station.

The System Code for global switches is: %GSxxxxSddss%GSxxxx - Switch number (0001 - 0256)dd - Domain numberss - Station number

The defined value is broadcasted to each station in the system via control bus scan transmission whendata transfer to other stations is defined at Scan Transmission Definition on the FCS ConstantsBuilder.The values of global switches are updated at the same time mostly on all stations in the system. Thevalues are updated by 100 msec, which is fixed. With this function, status information can betransferred from one station to the control function of another station with very little delay.

8.4 Switch Instrument

The switch instrument block is a function block whichis often used to start/stop motors and pumps andmonitor or manipulate open-close state of the motor-operated valves.

In most cases, this type of blocks is used incombination with the sequence table block (ST16,ST16E) and the Logic Chart Block (LC64).

The faceplate of the SIO block is as shown. MV is theoutput signal of the SIO block and the command to the

field instrument. PV is the answerback signal receivedfrom the field to the SIO block.

8.4.1 SIO Normal Operation

The normal operation of SIO is as explained.When MV=2, the DO is ON, the output relay isenergized. The equipment connected to the relay isON.The answerback DI is taken from the contact of theequipment. Since the equipment is ON, the contactcloses. So the DI is ON, then PV becomes 2.

10.1 Concept of Trend View

The Trend view can be used for displaying various graphs of process data changed along with timeaxis. The change of process data with respect to time is referred to as trend data. On a Trend view, upto 8 trends of process data can be displayed.

10.1.1 Structure of Trend Recording

By using the Trend Recording function, process data such as temperature, pressure and flow ratecoming into the Control Station are gathered by the HIS, and the time-series changes in the processdata are displayed as a graph (trend graph).

The trend recording consists of:

Trend data acquisition

Trend data display

Closing processing

The Trend Recording has a three-layer structure:

Trend Block

Trend Group

Trend PenAcquired trend data can be displayed as graphs in the Trend View and the Trend Point View.CENTUM VP provides for up to 50 blocks of trend per HIS. Each block in turn consists of 16 groups or16 trend views. Under each group, up to 8 trend data can be assigned. Thus the trend data for up to6400 pen can be recorded.

TREND BLOCK

The type of trend data acquisition and sampling period are specified for each trend block in thebuilder. Of the 50 trend blocks, 26 blocks can be defined as the trend format of Continuous-Rotary

Type, Batch-Stop Type or Batch-Rotary Type.The remaining 24 trend blocks can be defined as the reference of the trend data acquired by other HIS.

TREND VIEW

Eight pens of trend data can be assigned to a Trend View. A trend block has 16 trend views.

TREND POINT VIEW

The Trend Point view is called up from the Trend View and displays data for a single trend pen.

10.1.2 Trend Format

Trend data acquisition can be specified for the following 4 types:

Continuous-Rotary TypeBatch-Stop TypeBatch-Rotary TypeOther-Station-Reference type (Other Station Acquisition Trend)

Continuous-Rotary Type

In this type, the trend data are acquired constantly.After the HIS is started, the data acquisition is started automatically and continued until the HIS isshutdown. The acquired data will be retained even if the HIS is shutdown.

After the maximum number of samples is reached, the data acquisition continues by overwriting theoldest data with new data.

Batch-Stop Type

Using this type, trend data acquisition starts and stops according to the received commands. If nostop command is received, the data acquisition will stop automatically after acquiring the maximumnumber of samples.

Batch-Rotary Type

Using this type, trend data acquisition starts and stops according to the received commands. Oncestarted, the data acquisition continues until a stop command is received. If the maximum number ofsamples is reached before receiving a stop command, older data are overwritten with new data.

Using this type, the trend data acquired by other HIS are referenced in trend block units.

10.1.3 Sampling Period

The sampling period of trend data is defined for each trend block in the Properties sheet of the TrendAcquisition Pen Assignment Builder.

The sampling period for the trend blocks can be:

1 second

10 seconds
