Fault 5
– Process movement greater than
Process Limit
This fault indicates that the process input exceed the
Process Limit
.
Some causes of this fault could be:
The
Response Timeout
is too long, the PID cannot increase the output movement fast enough to
counteract system drift.
The system is not at steady state. As an example, if the Integral Gain input is relatively low, there
could be a large error between process and setpoint.
The
Process Limit
is too low
The
Act Limit
is too high, resulting in actuator movements that are too large for the
Process Limit
(this is unlikely).
Some solutions for this fault would include:
Decrease
Response Timeout
if the system is much faster than the time-out
Proportional Gain could be adjusted to make the system stable, if applicable.
Integral Gain could be adjusted to allow system to minimize error and/or slow hunt, if applicable.
Process Limit
could be increased, if the turbine system allows
Check for excessive noise on the process input, check shielding and grounding on the applicable
sensors and actuator(s).
Fault 6
– Optimizer time-out
This fault indicated that the optimizer time exceeded the allowable time-out time, of 40 times the specified
Response Timeout
, or 20 cycles of movement.
Some causes of this fault could be:
The
Act Limit
is too low, this is the most common cause of this fault
The
Response Timeout
is too short for the process input response.
The system response is restricted, by low steam pressure, a partially closed trip and throttle valve,
etc.
The valve or actuator is against a stop or at the end of its travel, not allowing the PID to control the
process completely.
Some solutions for this fault would include:
The
Act Limit
could be increased.
The
Response Timeout
could be increased, if the system was still increasing/decreasing at the time-
out times.
The operating point (Setpoint) could be adjusted, if an actuator or valve is close to the end of its
travel.
The system variables should be checked, ensure that inlet pressure is high enough, hydraulic
pressure is high enough, the trip and throttle valve is open, etc.
Fault 7
– Droop input movement, greater than limit.
This fault indicates that the Droop input exceeded its allowable movement, similar to fault 5 for the
process input.
Some causes of this fault could be:
The
Response Timeout
is too long, the PID cannot increase the output movement fast enough to
counteract system drift.
There is noise on the Droop input
The system is not stable, the Droop input is moving around too much with respect to the
Droop Limit
input.
The system is not at steady state. As an example, if the Integral Gain input is relatively low, there
could be a large error between droop and setpoint.
The
Droop Limit
is too low.
The
Act Limit
is too high, resulting in actuator movements that are too large for the
Droop Limit
(this
is unlikely).
