- 2. BASICS • What isInstrumentation? • Basic Terminologies • Process & its Control • Field Instruments & its principles • Valves & its working
- 3. What is Instrumentation? •Instrumentation is about measurement and control. • Instrumentation engineering is the engineering specialization focused on the design and configuration of process systems. • Instruments are devices which are used in measuring attributes of process systems.
- 4. Basic Terminologies • Process: Seriesof continuous or regularly recurring steps or actions intended to achieve a predetermined result, as in heat treating metal, or manufacturing acid. • Transducer(sensor): Element which converts one form of Energy to Other form. • Primary Transducer: Transducer which converts the Process parameter to a form readable by Secondary Transducer. Eg: Orifice plate • Secondary Transducer: Transducer or transmitter which responds to a measured variable and converts it to a standardized transmission signal which is a function only of the measurement. Eg: DP Transmitter
- 5. • Signal: The signalis the event or phenomenon that conveys data from one point to another. • Loop: A Loop is a combination of one or more interconnected instruments arranged to measure a process variable. It shall comprises the whole chain from Primary element to Correcting Element. • Controller: A device that operates automatically by use of some established algorithm to regulate process variable(PV) according to the set point(SV). The controller input receives information about the status of the process variable and then provides an appropriate output signal(MV-manipulated variable) to the final control element(eg-valves etc.,).
- 6. •Interlock: It refers tothe set of plant conditions(eg. Level of a tank, temp of furnace, position of furnace or a valve, flow of a fluid, etc) which are to be satisfied before operating(starting, stopping, opening ,closing ,etc)of any instrument or equipment. ANALYSER: •Monitor pollutant gas emissions from industrial processes. •Gas analyzer is a gas comparator providing high linearity of signal transformation function. WEIGHFEEDER: •Controller multiplies the signal from the load cell(belt load,kg/m) with that from the speed transducer(belt speed,m/s) to get the feed rate. •The controller then either changes the belt speed or belt load to get the set feed rate.
- 7. CONVEYOR: Conveyors are usedas components in automated distribution and warehousing. A belt conveyor consists of two or more pulleys, with a continuous loop of material - the conveyor belt - that rotates about them. One or both of the pulleys are powered, moving the belt and the material on the belt forward. The powered pulley is called the drive pulley while the unpowered pulley is called the idler. BELTWEIGHER: •Material flowing over the belt may be weighed in transit using a beltweigher.A belweigher or belt weigher is a piece of industrial control equipment used to gauge the mass or flow rate of material travelling over a conveyor belt.
- 8. Process & itsControl • Process Parameters: – Pressure – Level – Temperature – Flow
- 9. Pressure Measurement • PRESSURE Aforce applied to or distributed over a surface. The pressure (P) of a force (F) distributed over an area(A) is defined as : P = F / A Standard Unit of Pressure is Pascal Other units of pressure are psi kg/cm2 bar atmosphere torr 1 Pa = 1 N/m2
- 10. Pressure Measurement • PrimaryPressure Measuring Devices: – Diaphragm – Bellows – Manometer • Pressure measurements can be divided into three different categories: – absolute pressure – gauge pressure and – differential pressure
- 11. GAUGE PRESSURE •Gauge pressureis the pressure relative to the local atmospheric or ambient pressure. In measurements a gauge is used to record the pressure difference between the system and the atmospheric pressure. This is called gauge pressure and can be stated by the following equation: Pg=Pa+Po where Pg= gauge pressure Po = atmospheric pressure • If the pressure of a system is below atmospheric, it is called vacuum pressure. •When pressure is measured by a gauge, the quantity obtained usually excludes the ambient atmospheric pressure and is therefore called overpressure, Poverpressure = Pgauge
- 12. ABSOLUTE PRESSURE If atmosphericpressure is included, then the resulting pressure is called absolute pressure Pabsolute = Patmospheric + Pgauge The absolute pressure is measured relative to the absolute zero pressure ‐ the pressure that would occur at absolute vacuum. P=Pg+Po P=absolute pressure, Pg=gauge pressure, Po=atmospheric pressure. DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE Differential pressure is the difference in pressure between two points.
- 13. ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE •The atmosphericpressure is the pressure in the surrounding air at or "close" to the surface of the earth. •The atmospheric pressure varies with temperature and altitude above sea level. • Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted at the surface of a body by a column of air in an atmosphere. 1 atmosphere on Earth = 760 millimeters of mercury (760 Torr) and 101,325 Pascals. STANDARD ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE : The Standard Atmospheric Pressure (atm) is used as a reference for gas densities and volumes. The Standard Atmospheric Pressure is defined at sea-level at 273oK (0oC) and is 1.01325 bar or 101325 Pa (absolute). The temperature of 293oK (20oC) is also used.

- 48. Control Valves • Thecontrol valve manipulates a flowing fluid, such as gas, steam, water, or chemical compounds, to compensate for the load disturbance and keep the regulated process variable as close as possible to the desired set point. • The control valve regulates the rate of fluid flow as the position of the valve plug or disk is changed by force from the actuator. • Control valves are valves used within industrial plants and elsewhere to control operating conditions such as temperature, pressure ,flow, and liquid level by fully or partially opening or closing in response to signals received from controllers that compare a "set point" to a "process variable" whose value is provided by sensors that monitor changes in such conditions. • The opening or closing of control valves is done by means of electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic systems.
- 49. CONTROL VALVES: They arebasically pneumatically operated valves which require around 4 to 5 kg/cm2 of air pressure to operate the valve. I / P Converter POSITIONER CONTROL VALVE SUPPLY AIR Pneumatic signal CURRENT SUPPLY AIR

- 54. Valve Body Types •Diff. types of Valve Body: • Butterfly Valve • Globe Valve • Ball Valve • Plug type Valve • Needle Valve
- 55. Positioner & itsaccessories • Pneumatically operated valves depend on a positioner to take an input signal from a process controller and convert it to valve travel. • A pneumatic signal (usually 3‐15 psig) is supplied to the positioner. The positioner translates this to a required valve position and supplies the valve actuator with the required air pressure to move the valve to the correct position. • Analog I/P Positioner—This positioner performs the same function as the one above, but uses electrical current (usually 4‐20 mA) instead of air as the input signal.
- 57. Automation (ancient Greek:= self dictated), roboticization or industrial automation or numerical control is the use of control systems such as computers to control industrial machinery and processes, replacing human operators. The most commonly used automation systems are : • DCS - Distributed Control System • PLC - Programmable Logic Controller • SCADA– Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition System
- 58. DCS • Distributed controlsystem (DCS) refers to a control system usually of a manufacturing system, process or any kind of dynamic system, in which the controller elements are not central in location (like the brain) but are distributed throughout the system with each component sub‐system controlled by one or more controllers. The entire system of controllers are connected by a network for communication and monitoring. • DCS is a very broad term used in a variety of industries, to monitor and control distributed equipment. • A DCS typically uses computers (usually custom designed processors) as controllers and uses both proprietary interconnections and protocols for communication. Input & output modules form component parts of the DCS. The processor receives information from input modules and sends information to output modules. The input modules receive information from input instruments in the process (a.k.a. field) and output modules transmit instructions to the output instruments in the field. Computer buses or electrical buses connect the processor and modules through multiplexers/demultiplexers. Buses also connect the distributed controllers with the central controller and finally to the Human‐Machine Interface (HMI) or control consoles.

- 61. BASIC TERMINOLOGIES OFDCS HIS: Human Interface Station The HIS is mainly used for operation and monitoring-it displays process variables,control parameters and alarms necessary for users to quickly grasp the operating status of the plant. NIU: Node Interface Unit These are remote I/O units which all the Instruments are connected.these units in turn are connected to FCS through RIO bus. FCS: Field Control Station It is the main control unit which controls the plant.there can be more than one FCS which then communicate with each other and also communicate with the HIS from where the Operator is operating. Vnet: The Vnet real time control system BUS links station such as FCS,HIS,BCV andCGW. ETHERNET: Ethernet is used to link HIS,ENG and supervisory systems.it is also used for transferring data files to supervisory computers and for HIS data equalization. RL Bus: This a control system BUS(communication link) which connects Field control units,operators stations. CGW: Communication Gateway This unit links the Vnet control system BUS to an ETHERNET BUS BCV: Bus Converter The communication bus of one version of DCS may not communicate with the newer versions so BUS CONVERTER is used to convert the BUS to suitable mode. In our plant our existing RL BUS is converted to newer system bus Vnet by the Bus Converter kept in Engineering room near central control room.

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) •ProgrammableLogic Controller (PLC) is a microprocessor based system that uses programmable memory to store instructions and implement functions such as logic, sequencing, timing, counting and arithmetic in order to control machines and processes. •Unlike Personal Computer, PLC does not contain peripherals, such as display or keyboard, that allow user to directly interact with PLC. In order to facilitate interaction, separate computer is provided, normally taking form of a standard PC. Through this external computer, operator can re-program PLC, provide set- points and view trends of process variables that are controlled and manipulated by PLC.

- 65. PLC consists ofthe following components: • Microprocessor – This is the brain of PLC. It reads input signals, executes control program and communicates results (decisions) of control program as action signals to the outputs. • Memory – It stores control program that is to be executed at a prescribed rate. • Power Supply – This component is used to convert the mains AC voltage to the low DC voltage (e.g. from 240V AC to 5V DC). This unit powers the processor and the circuits in the input and output modules. • Input Module – This component receives information from external devices (sensors). It contains circuitry that provides electrical isolation and signal conditioning functionalities. Input module can be analogue input (AI) or discrete input (DI) module. AI module receives continuously changing signal whose amplitude is proportional to the current value of the measured process variable. DI module receives discrete/digital (ON/OFF) information from discrete sensors, for example push button (ON if button is pressed, OFF if button is not pressed). Note that DI is much more frequently used than AI. • Output Module – This module communicates control actions to external devices (actuators). It contains circuitry required to interface PLC with actuators (e.g. digital-to-analogue converter and power amplifier). Like input module, output module can be analogue output (AO) or discrete output (DO) module depending on the type of actuator used. • Communication Module – This component allows PLC to communicate with external devices using sophisticated multiple-bit digital communication protocols (e.g. Ethernet).
