Finally, when the SPM data is trended in DeltaV, it is possible to configure HI
and/or LO alarms on the mean or standard deviation via the AI Block. This
can be done by right-clicking on the AI Function Block in Control Studio, and
selecting the option “Assign Alarm”. The Block Alarm configuration window
will let you set up desired alarm limits. Refer to the DeltaV Books Online for
detailed information on configuring alarms.
PLUGGED IMPULSE
LINE DETECTION
TECHNOLOGY
Introduction Pressure transmitters are used in pressure, level, and flow measurement
applications. Regardless of application, the transmitter is rarely connected
directly to the pipe or vessel. Small diameter tubes or pipes commonly called
impulse lines are used to transmit the pressure signal from the process to the
transmitter. In some applications, these impulse lines can become plugged
with solids or frozen fluid in cold environments, effectively blocking the
pressure signals (Figure 6-16). The user typically does not know that the
blockage has occurred. Because the pressure at the time of the plug is
trapped, the transmitter may continue to provide the same signal as before
the plug. Only after the actual process changes and the pressure transmitter’s
output remains the same may someone recognize that plugging has
occurred. This is a typical problem for pressure measurement, and users
recognize the need for a plugged impulse line diagnostic for this condition.
