The FIC-3 controls feed water by manipulating the valve FV-3.

The Feed
water controller is of Proportional + Integral type with external setpoint.
 The external set point of the Feed water controller is taken from the SUM of the two inputs:
A. The lagged output of Steam Flow FT-1 (0-100%) is characterized to 0-50%.
B. Output of LIC-2 (0-100%) is high limited to 50%. LIC-2 is type Proportional + Derivative with
Internal setpoint.

Output of FT1 Transmitter is 0-100%.

Alternatively, you can just multiply Lag function.

FT1 the lagged output of FT1 by 0.5.
Output of FT1 with Lag.
If the output of LIC2 is limited to 50%,
then the range becomes 0-50%.
0-100% is characterized to 0-50%.

 If the Steam Flow FT-1 turns bad signal, the level controller LIC-2 output takes over full control (0-100%) of flow
controller FIC-3 setpoint. (LIC-2 sets 0-100% setpoint of FIC-3).

If it is the Level Transmitter that is defective, then the setpoint of FIC-3 is fixed to 110% of the value of Steam
Flow FT-1.

You should be able to explain this on your own by now.

If the Level controller deviation is greater 15% for 5 minutes, then annunciator lamp XL-1 shall be activated.
Get the ABSOLUTE VALUE of the difference bet SP and PV. This is to get rid of the negative value\
when PV > SP. This means, for example, you get value 5 instead of -5.
