Smart Sensors

DI RTFT
Do It Right The First Time
Concept:
All parameters needed for measurement and
validation are local to the sensor
Sensor sends only high quality data to DCS for
process control
Hardware
UOP Guided Wave 300P Spectrometers
Multiplexed applications
~200 analyzer years experience
Bi-directional MODBUS link to DCS
Analyzer returns MEASUREMENT and
STATUS value for control action
DCS sends commands and key process
parameters

Example Applications
Measurement Validation
Adaptive Sensor
Auto Calibration Maintenance
Measurement Validation
Sensor validates EACH measurement by
combining:
Calibration Model Statistics
Outlier detection, fit parameters . . .
Hardware parameters
System voltages, scan time, detector noise . . .
Process (environmental) Data
Pressures, temperatures, flows . . .

Measurement status basis for DCS control
Adaptive Sensors
Product TYPE Sets:
Measurement parameters
Calibration equation (model)

Process STATE Sets:
Instrument response (Auto cruse control)
Rapid process change = short time constant
Stead state=long time constant
Auto Calibration
DCS signal triggers raw data save when:
Routine samples pulled for lab analysis
(low frequency activity)
Non-standard conditions exist
DCS initiates calibration update based on:
Lab data
Corresponding instrument data
