Example 4
The fluid change in a pipe has to be monitored.
The fluid in the pipe changes during the measurement. The fluid change from crude oil to gasoline has to be output via a binary
output. The entire fluid change will take place within 2 minutes.
It is assumed that crude oil with an API gravity of 40 is flowing in the pipe and afterwards gasoline with an API gravity of 50 will be
transported. So a change of 10 °API within 2 minutes has to be expected.
The goal is that the binary output closes at the beginning of the fluid change and reopens at its end. If the product quality changes for
several °APIs during one hour, the change rate is below 0.5 °API/10 s. Therefore, no fluid change will be detected.
Trigger:
Condition:
Action:
Δ API gravity > 0.5 °API (fluid change time base: 10 s)
R1 with Δ API gravity > 0.5 °API
binary output closes
