5.4. Configuring Fieldbus Components In a Control Strategy

 Honeywell July 2010 
The following are some pertinent characteristics about this application and the 
corresponding Experion control strategy for reference.  
    The goal is to recycle the process fluid back to the process with a minimum swing in 
the recycle feed rate.  
    The tank level set point (SP) is 50 percent.  
    The tank level low (LO) alarm is 25 percent and the low-low (LOLO) alarm is 15 
percent. 
    The tank level high (HI) alarm is 70 percent and the high-high (HIHI) alarm is 85 
percent.  
    The Experion control strategy includes a tank level Control Module (CM) named 
CM101 and a pump control CM named CM102.  
    The CM101 includes an Experion Proportional, Integral, Derivative (PID) function 
block configured to operate as a Proportional and Integral (PI) two-mode controller.  
    The tuning for the PI controller is "loose" to allow some swing in the level of fluid in 
the tank.  
    The CM101 includes an Experion Data Acquisition (DATAACQ) function block to 
provide the alarm flags for the LO, LOLO, HI, and HIHI tank level alarms.  
    The CM101 includes a fieldbus Analog Input (AI) function block to integrate the 
tank level indicating signal from the ST3000FF smart pressure transmitter with the 
control strategy. It includes a fieldbus Analog Output (AO) function block to 
integrate the Logix 1400 Valve Positioner with the PI controller output from the 
control strategy.  
    The CM102 includes an Experion Device Control (DEVCTL) function block to 
control the recycle pump through corresponding Discrete Input and Discrete Output 
Input/Output Module function blocks. It also includes links to the LO and LOLO 
alarm flags for the DATAACQ block in CM101 for device safety override and 
output override interlocks, respectively.  
    The recycle pump is to be restarted at 35 percent.
