 Large Fluctuation Detection
When a pump or compressor starts, the large
uctuation is generated as process condition
changes rapidly. This phenomenon affects process
uctuation measurement, so correct blockage
detection is not performed.
If “Large uctuation of Low Side” or “Large
uctuation of High Side” is detected, consider
whether a blockage result is correct.
The threshold values to detect large uctuation are
set to DIAG_LIM [3] and [5].
Since these values are enough to detect large
uctuation, it is not almost necessary to change
them.
A8.2.2 Combination of Reference Result
and Blockage Detection
An EJX differential pressure transmitter can detect
four modes of impulse line blockage: both-sides,
high-pressure side, low-pressure side, and/or
single-side when all the reference values are
properly measured. However, the detectable alarm
mode combination is limited when some of the
reference values are invalid. The relation between
the detectable blockage modes and reference value
results are shown in the below gure.
NOTE
• REFERENCE_FDP must be larger than the
specied level shown in Table A8.3 (refer
A8.2.6). No blockage can be detected when
VALUE_FDP is not large enough.
• The plausibility of blockage detection needs
to be conrmed by blockage simulation test.
The simulation test can be performed by
the appropriate manifold operation (refer to
A8.2.8).
