Although performance testing occurs after start-up in this project sequence, the procedure can also be use

Again, planning is important; items to watch for are suggested and typical forms are included, along with some recommendations on how to perform the

The example process is then “benchmarked” using the techniques discussed in this chapter.Chapter 5 Sustaining the Performance makes sure you can maintain the high level of performance achieved and benchmarked in Chapter 4. Maintenance strategies show where the performance monitoring fits. S

14、uggestions on starting this program are included along with some in-depth considerations of how the program will address the elements of the loop. The implementation of a performance monitoring program is dependent on the particular control system architecture (single loop controllers, PLCs, DCSs, h

Thus, several of these hardware architectures are examined with ideas and options for implementation. Jeffrey05.book Page xiv Thursday, March 3, 2005 2:56 PM1INTRODUCTION TO LOOPCHECKINGProcess c

16、ontrol loops have a major impact on the financial performance of todays manufacturing facilities. It is also recognized that a “good foundation” of the basic regulatory control loop is essential to the success of higher-level “Advanced Process Control (APC)” program (Ref. 6). Thus, it is critical th

17、at these facilities technicians focus on loop checking and performance. For this reason, this guide defines loop checking broadly to include control loop performance rather than merely in terms of plant start-up situations as in the traditional definition. Loop checking is also an important componen

These will, of course, affect how loop checking is defined and accomplished for the technicians specific environment. However, th

22、 to continually improve manufacturing performance to meet their business needs and goals. Typical business drivers are as follows: increased throughput increased yield increased quality minimized waste and off-specAs we noted, the control loop (and the continual checking of performance) plays a vita

23、l role in the plants financial performance. However, it has been observed that up to 80 percent of all loops are not performing their intended function of reducing the variability that results from the problems caused by the factors shown in Figure 1-1. Such issues as measurement placement and the d

24、ead time or process mixing it causes, undersized headers and valves, loop tuning, and control strategy, all affect the loops ability to accomplish the desired objectives.FIGURE 1-1Control Loop Performance IssuesIn addition, plant performance studies (such as those summarized in Figure 1-2) have show

27、 commissioning, and ongoing operations.1.2 LOOP CHECKING: INTRODUCTIONThe following section reviews the components of the control loop and the scope of loop checking.Defining the LoopThe purpose of control loops has been defined in various ways: to force the process to perform in a predetermined, de

28、sirable manner. The process may be a flow, pressure, temperature, level, or some other variable in the manufacturing plant (Ref. 3). to adapt automatic regulatory procedures to the more efficient manufacture of products or processing of material (Ref. 4). to ensure safety, environmental regulation,

In this control, the loop

31、starts by measuring the process variable (PV). It then compares the PV to the desired value, that is, the set point (SP), and acts on the difference between SP and PV (error) using a control algorithm (typically PID). The loop then outputs to the final control element. The diagrams below indicate th

32、at the main elements of the loop are: transmitter/sensor (for measuring the PV) process controller (with an operator-entered SP and control algorithm) final control element (valve/actuator and accessories)Control system engineers use the block diagram in Figure 1-3 to show the relationships of the c

Although

35、several chapters could be dedicated to each element of the loop (a good resource is Reference 1), we will try to keep the discussion brief and highlight important features for our expanded definition of loop checking, which includes performance. Sensor / TransmitterThe loop starts here and cannot do

36、 a good job unless the measurement is accurate, reproducible (reproducibility is the closeness of agreement of an output for and input approaching from either direction at the same operating conditions over a period of time and is a better number for control and measurement evaluations see Reference

37、 6). Total Probable Error is another important performance specification that you may use for comparison purposes. Measurement resolution of the signal within the control system is usually not an issue with todays control Jeffrey05.book Page 5 Thursday, March 3, 2005 2:56 PM6 Introduction to Loop Ch

38、eckingsystems I/O design, but if you configure the loop for large spans (watch for temperature loops), then small changes can go undetected. Of course, proper selection and installation of the sensor and transmitter is critical based on service conditions, accuracy, reproducibility, stability, relia

39、bility, and other plant standards. Deadtime and noise introduced by measurement installation location can really hurt the loop performance (the typical controller, proportional, integral and derivative PID does not handle deadtime very well). For example, mounting a consistency transmitter so that i

40、t is convenient to work on versus placing it near the dilution source can introduce unwanted deadtime, while a sensor installed near the valve outlet instead of upstream of the valve will have excessive noise. ControllerThe controller compares the transmitter measurement (PV) to the operator-entered

41、 set point (SP), calculates the difference (error), acts on the error with a PID algorithm and outputs a signal to the valve. Todays control systems all have very capable controllers but you need to be aware of the type PID algorithm that your plants control system manufacturer has implemented. The

42、two (2) common types are called “classic” and “non-interacting” (Ref. 5). Others have called them “series” and “parallel”. There is a difference in how you tune the loop with these two types of controllers. If your plant has just one control system, then your plant standard tuning methods can be use

43、d without worrying about this difference. However, as plant purchases come from different vendors/OEMs, different control system types are employed (e.g., programmable logic controller PLC vs. distributed control system DCS). You need to pay attention when tuning the different controllers to make su

44、re the right tuning methods are applied. The microprocessor-based systems have also introduced us to configurable loop scan (execution) times, which can also be critical to loop performance. Youll want to make sure your controller is executing fast enough for the process dynamics. Table 1-1 suggests

45、 a starting point for some typical measurement types.Final Control ElementThe final control element takes the signal from the controller and attempts to position the flow controlling mechanism to this signal. There are various types of final control elements and some have better performance in terms

46、 of “positioning” the device. Final control elements can be variable speed drives for pumps or fans, dampers/louvers, heaterJeffrey05.book Page 6 Thursday, March 3, 2005 2:56 PMLoop Checking 7TABLE 1-1.Typical Scan Timescontrols, but the most common is the control valve. The valve receives the most

47、attention in the loop check because it receives an electrical signal from the controller (i.e., 420 mA current or digital value on a bus), converts the electronic signal to a pneumatic signal that must then drive an actuating device to a precise location. Well talk more about valve and loop performa

48、nce in later chapters but youll be hard pressed to beat a sliding stem valve with spring-and-diaphragm actuator and a two-stage positioner for performance. In addition to the controller performance enemies of deadtime and noise mentioned previously, the valve could also introduce non-linearities and

49、 deadband into the loop neither of which is good for the PID controller. In receiving an electronic signal and converting it to a valve plug/ball/disk position in the pipe, various sources of non-linearity and deadband can build up. Friction from seals and packing, backlash of mechanical parts, relay dead zones, shaft windup can keep the valve from maintaining the signal required by the control system. Proper valve sizing and selection of valve characteristic can help linearize the flow response to controller output changes a
