4. Steady Process?
At the end of the 5-minute verification phase, the PIL compares the last
mean and standard deviation against the previous mean and standard
deviation to determine if the process is at a steady state. If the process is
at a steady-state, then the PIL moves into Detection phase. If not, then
PIL repeats the Verification Phase
5. Establish Baseline
At the end of the Verification Phase, if the process has been determined
to be at a steady state, the last mean and standard deviation are taken to
be the “Baseline” values, representative of the normal process operating
condition.
6. Detection Phase
During the Detection Phase, the PIL collects pressure data for 1 minute
and computes the mean and the standard deviation.
NOTE:
The length of this “Detection Period” is user-adjustable, with 1-minute as the
default value.
7. Relearn Required?
At the end of the 1-minute, PIL first compares the current mean with the
baseline mean. If the two differ significantly, then the PIL goes back into
the Learning Phase, because the process conditions have changed too
much for a reliable detection of a plugged impulse line.
8. Compare Standard Deviations
If no relearn is required, the PIL compares the current standard deviation
against the baseline standard deviation to determine if a plugged
impulse line is detected. For all sensor types, the PIL checks if the
standard deviation has decreased below a lower limit. For DP sensors,
the PIL also checks if the standard deviation has increased above an
upper limit. If either of these limits is exceeded, the status changes to
“Lines Plugged” and the PIL stops, and will not resume again until a
“Relearn” command is given. If a plugged impulse line is not detected,
the status is “OK” and the Detection Phase is repeated.
