Control valves and smart positioners: new reality

Introduction

Kaziner Yu.Ya.  Intelligent control valves and smart positioners

The concepts of intelligent control valve and smart positioner are introduced. The paper shows that a smart positioner is able to realize the following six functions: monitoring, automatic tuning, diagnostics, configuring, simulation, archiving. Basic malfunctions or errors of a control valve are listed, which can be detected by a smart positioner. A conclusion about the forthcoming complete switch to smart instruments is made.

Keywords: monitoring, automatic tuning, diagnosis, configuring, simulation, archiving, smart positioner, control valve.

FIELDVUE digital controllers with extended valve diagnostics

The importance of extended performance diagnostic function availability in modern digital positioners is emphasized. Performance attributes and design features of FIELDVUE digital positioner are presented. Its extended diagnostics functions are implemented through AMS ValveLink software.

Keywords: performance diagnostics, control valve, diagnostics, monitoring.

Gorodnev R.V.  Diagnostic applications in pneumatic-driven pipe valves

Pneumatic-driven pipe fittings with diagnostic functions are presented. With a case study of Masoneilan equipment, the paper shows how to use these tools for improving plant efficiency.

Keywords: pneumatic-driven pipe valves, cumulative diagnostics, calibration, emergency block valves, partial valve stroke test.

Yutaka Iokochi Valve control optimization using diagnostic test result recorder

The paper presents ValveNavi software for YVP110 valve. The software enables automatic tuning, settings check and fault detection of devices using embedded diagnosis functions.

Keywords: positioner, diagnostics, valve, diagnostic test result recorder, extended control functions.

Kiesbauer J.  Control valve diagnostics with the help of smart positioners

Digital positioners from SAMSON open up interesting possibilities in process reliability improvement and equipment maintenance. Along with digital positioners, highly effective software tools can be used, which allow to predict failures and view control valve operation for the valves with appropriate functionality. These capabilities also enable the storage of data describing the current valve position and trends as well as predictive maintenance to keep the valve in order during its operation.

Keywords: digital positioner, control valves, actuators, diagnostic tools, tests, steady-state and dynamic control responses, prediction, fault detection.

Zilonov M.O.  SIPART PS2 smart positioner from Siemens

Siemens furnishes its control valves with SIPART PS2 smart positioner combined with SIMATIC PDM software. The paper discusses the application features of these positioners.

Keywords: smart positioner, control valve, diagnostics, extreme position indicator.

LogixTM 3200MD digital positioner from Flowserve

Performance attributes and operation principle of LogixTM 3200MD digital positioner are presented. The paper describes the positioner's operation scheme and ValveSight software intended for tuning, configuring and diagnostics of both the positioner and the whole positioner-drive-valve system.

Keywords: positioner, configuring, tuning, commissioning, control valve, piezotechnology, implosion protection, HART, slide valve, balanced position.

Keywords: diagnostics, electrical drive, pipe fittings, model, dynamics, torque, worm screw reducer.

Vasiliev R.B., Levochkina G.A.  IT outsourcing as a new management paradigm

IT outsourcing is examined as a new management strategy. The trends of the outsourcing service industry are analyzed, and their affect on the key IT service tasks as well as on the role and priorities of an IT manager is investigated. Personnel training in the field of IT outsourcing is discussed.

Keywords: IT outsourcing, product portfolio, provider, outsourcing services, cloud services, IT manager.

Freydman A.V.  Stuxnet and industrial security

The paper briefly describes Stuxnet scumware and its threats to industrial security. The actions on improving industrial systems protection against cyber-attacks are offered.

Keywords: computer virus, operating system, industrial security, cyber-attack.

Turanosov A.V., Lisitsyn N.V.  Modeling fractionated hydrocarbon product qualities under feed composition uncertainties

The paper analyzes the influence of the uncertainty caused by the lack of timely information about distillation column's feed composition on the quality of fractionated hydrocarbon products. With a case study of a naphtha rerun column, it examines the relationship between product qualities in the distillation area and the column's feed composition. A soft sensor is developed for predicting product qualities under feed composition uncertainty.

Keywords: fractionation, uncertainty, unstable feed composition, fractionated components, product qualities, modeling.
