Re: What is the meaning of
Dry contact and Wet Contact related to to sensors?
Answer
# 1
dry
contact is that the contacts are floating. One example
is the
COM, NC and NO contacts of the relays. If no voltage
is
connected to them, it is called dry contacts.
Volt-free
and dry contact mean the same thing. If a control
system
supplier offers a dry contact for you to read as a
status
bit, then he is offering to close a contact (relay
or
contact output) that is nothing more that a stand-alone
set of
contacts with no voltage, current, or anything else
impressed
across the contact set. It becomes the user's
responsibility
to determine how to sense that contact
closure.
Usually you do this by putting a voltage on one
side and
sensing the voltage on a return line from the
other
side of the contact when it closes. Once you apply
voltage
to the contacts, it becomes a wet contact.
You
"wet" the contact with a sensible voltage level.

Re: What is the differace between Volumatric flow
meter and Mass flow meter. Answer
#
1
Volumetric flow meter gives flow rate in terms of volume
viz liters/hr,gallon, m3/hr etc whereas mass flow meter
(coriolis) gives direct mass flwo rate viz kg/hr/tons/hr etc
Usually mass is derived by multiplying volume with product
density.
Volumetric flowmetering is affected by changes in the
temperature, pressure, density, viscosity, and flow profile
of the process fluid.
Coriolis flowmetering provides direct mass measurement that
is unaffected by changing fluid characteristics.
Re: What is the differace between Volumatric flow
meter and Mass flow meter. Answer
#
4
mass flowmeter
density= mass/volume
mass = density* volume
so it can be expressed as measurement of fluid volume and
density
the example are coroilis ,thermal flowmeter
the volumetric flow is area*velocity
so it has the various type
magnetic,vortex,turbine,ultrasonic....and positive
displacement ...
Re: How do we MEASURE OR CALCULATE VELOCITY
used to calculate REYNOLDS NUMBER?? Answer
#
2
REYNOLD NUMBER : It means rate of flow.
Re = p VD/u
Where
Re = Reynolds Number, v = Velocity of flow in m/s, d =
diameter of pipe in m, p = density of fluid in Kg / M³,, u
= Viscosity of fluid.
Turbulent or laminar flow is determined by the
dimensionless Reynolds Number.
The Reynolds number is important in analyzing any type of
flow when there is substantial velocity gradient (i.e.,
shear.) It indicates the relative significance of the
viscous effect compared to the inertia effect. The Reynolds
number is proportional to inertial force divided by viscous
force.
• laminar when Re < 2300
• transient when 2300 < Re < 4000
• turbulent when 4000 < Re

Re: explain the working of Coriolis Flowmeter.
Answer
#
1
When a mass flows through a vibrating pipe, Coriolis forces
are generated which bend and twist the pipe. These very
small pipe deformations are measured by optimally mounted
sensors and electronically evaluated. Because the measured
phase shift of the sensor signals is proportional to the
mass flowrate, the Coriolis Mass Flowmeter measures the
mass flowrate in the flowmeter directly.

Re: Why we use 250 ohm resistor in series with HART
protocol communication? Answer
#
8
Ohms law (V = IR) dictates that a resistor must be present
with current to receive a voltage. Most field devices
transmit HART as +/- 0.5mA imposed on the 4-20mA current
loop. The 4-20mA is the centerline of the 1mA signal. The
resistance in the loop converts the current to a voltage
which is used as a digital voltage signal. The carrier
detect is 100mV nominally. If there is no voltage, there is
no carrier, and therefore no communications.
Frequency Shift Key modulation is used to transmit the
digital HART data via the current loop. FSK allows two
separate frequencies to represent digital data. 2,200 Hz for
binary 0 and 1,200 Hz for binary 1

Re: explain Cascade Control strategy with the help
of a block diagram. also exlain its working in a distillation column Answer
#
1
cascade control strategy is the one in which you have 2
control loops, a primary loop and a secondary loop. The
output of the secondary controller will the reference or
set point to the primary controller.
Cascade control is most advantageous on applications where
the secondary closed loop can include the major disturbance
and second order lag and the major lag is included in only
the primary loop. The secondary loop should be established
in an area where the major disturbance occurs. It is also
important that the secondary variable respond to the
disturbance. If the slave loop is controlling flow and the
disturbance is in the heat content of the fluid, obviously
the flow controller will not correct for this disturbance.
In distillation column it is used as a composition control
where the feed flow is the primary control and condense
flow out is the secondary loop

Re: Why we use 4 to 20 mA, (This is International

Answer
#

First the question is why can't we use 3~15mA or other
range, here also we can check live zero and also we can go
step current like 3,6,9,12,15(i.e 0%,25%,50%,75%,100%).ok
The reason is the transmitter voltage is 24Vdc , here we
can load max of 600 ohms, for this voltage & load better
range is 4~20.
Why 4 ~ 20 is better since we can convert easily 1~5Vdc by
put 250 ohms.All the controllers and DCS , PLCs are operated
by the input of 1~5Vdc (external or Internal convertion)

I am not so sure about EP, but E can be used to mean EMF

Re: what is the meaning of potential free contact.
difference between dry and wet contact? Answer
#
1
A dry contact is a potential free contact
A dry contact is a contact that does not provide voltage.
For instance, the push-to-talk switch of a microphone,
which just closes a circuit without providing voltage.
A wet contact is a contact that will provide voltage when
closed, like the switch on the wall that activates the 110
VAC outlet to turn a lamp on in a room.
Re: i have 80cm water tank.how can i use DPT as
level mesurment.pls give specs for that..? We have air comp.from that moisture
comeout to one tank.i want to mesure level of water in that tank and then after
operat one sov to dicharge water after high level. Answer
#
1
TAKE TWO TAPINGS, ONE AT 5CM (HP SIDE)ONE AT 75 CM (LP
SIDE). NOW CONNECT THE DPT AS PER HP AND LP CONNECTION AND
IN Tx. ALSO DEFINED THE LSV AND USV IN Tx. IT WILL GIVE U 4
MA AT 5 CM AND 20MA AT 75 CM OF THE TANK LEVEL.
NOW THE SAME THING U CAN DO FOR THE COMP. MOISTURE LEVEL.
TO OPERATE SOV U HAVE TO USE THE ANALOG SIGNAL COMING FROM
DPT AND WITH USE OF THIS U HAVE TO GENERATE A DO COMMAND
(24V). THIS COMMAND WILL DIRECTLY GO TO SOV(24 V) WHEN
LEVEL IS HIGH.
SUPPOSE DPT TAG IS (PI01)
SET PI01.HH AT 75 CM.. AND USE THIS SIGNAL TO GENERATE THE
DO FOR SOV USING A SWITCH LOGIC IN DCS

Re: Can anyone say that formula of Converting the Diff.
Pressure into Flow in Kg/Cm2 or any explaniation of Orifice Plate, Beta Ratio ,
How to calculate Answer
#
1
The basic formulas for determining the flows are as follows:
V = k*sqrt(h/p)
Q = k*A*sqrt(h/p)
W = k*A*sqrt(h*p)
Where:
V = Velocity
Q = Volumetric flow rate
W = Mass flow rate
A = Cross-sectional area of the pipe
h = Differential pressure between points of measurement
p; = the density of the flowing fluid
k = a constant that includes the ratio of cross-sectional
area of pipe to cross-sectional area of nozzle or other
restriction, units of measurement, correction factors, and
so on, depending on the specific type of head meter.
If you gather the outstanding data and use the above
mentioned formulas - you will be able to calculate your flow
rate.

Re: what is mean by loop checking? Answer
#
2
Loop Checking means, First we want to check the continuity
of cable. Then whether 24 V DC or 4 - 20 mA DC is coming
from DCS or JB want to check. That is called loop Checking.
Re: what is mean by loop checking? Answer
#
3
loop checking means ,after installation of instruments we
must check full loop(instrument-junction box-control room)
to ensure that whether the instruments are working properly
or not, and whether is it passing the signal or not,whether
is it receiving the signal or not. before we start the
plant we need to check loop..
during the loop check we give some known input
and check the corresponding output at other side(control
room)..if the output is corresponding to input, the loop is
ok..if not means, something fault inbetween the loop.
for example.if you want to check ON/OFF control
valve,during the loop check,when you give 24v dc from
control room ,the valve must open fully, and when you give
0v dc the valve must close.

Re: How much should be the values and/or percentages of
these given below factors for a good controller ? Steady state error Delay Rise
Time Overshoot Peak Time Settling Time Damping Oscillations & vibrations
thanks Answer
#
1
A proportional controller (Kp) will have the effect of
reducing the rise time and will reduce ,but never eliminate,
the steady-state error. An integral control (Ki) will have
the effect of eliminating the steady-state error, but it may
make the transient response worse. A derivative control (Kd)
will have the effect of increasing the stability of the
system, reducing the overshoot, and improving the transient
response.
Cascade Control
Cascade Control uses
the output of the primary
controller to manipulate the setpoint of the secondary
controller as if it were the final control element.
Reasons for cascade
control:
- Allow faster secondary controller to handle
disturbances in the secondary loop.
- Allow secondary controller to handle non-linear valve
and other final control element problems.
- Allow operator to directly control secondary loop
during certain modes of operation (such as startup).
Requirements for cascade
control:
- Secondary loop process dynamics must be at least four
times as fast as primary loop process dynamics.
- Secondary loop must have influence over the primary
loop.
- Secondary loop must be measured and controllable.
Reasons not to use cascade:
- Cost of measurement of secondary variable (assuming it
is not measured for other reasons).
- Additional complexity.
Examples of cascade
control:
Control of heat exchanger
outlet temperature using steam flow as secondary loop.

measure the height of the tank, up to which this 30000
liter of water makes. take this height as H. By the formula
P=rho*g*h. You can calculate the pressue exerted by this
3000 liers of water in terms of KG/cm2. then convert this
KG in to MMWC, through the relation 1kg=10000mmwc. by
having the HP in terms of mmWc. You can calibrate the DP

since we use 4 to 20ma transmission signal,the voltage drop
at the o/p is 1 to 5V.
In the O/P 250 ohm resistance is used.So when the signal is
4ma then 4*250=1V
when the signal is 20ma,then the O/P is 20*250=5V.

RADAR means RAdio Detection And Ranging. The RADAR sysytem
has a receiver emits either radio or microwaves that are
refelected by the target and detected by the receiver which
will be placed in the same location as transmitter.Distance
is measured by the time it takes the pulse to travel to and
from the target.Knowing the frequency the wave length is
determined by dividing the frequency in MHz into give the
wave length in meters. Radar is used in marine industries

Re: explain the working of Coriolis Flowmeter.
Answer
#
1
When a mass flows through a vibrating pipe, Coriolis forces
are generated which bend and twist the pipe. These very
small pipe deformations are measured by optimally mounted
sensors and electronically evaluated. Because the measured
phase shift of the sensor signals is proportional to the
mass flowrate, the Coriolis Mass Flowmeter measures the
mass flowrate in the flowmeter directly.

HMI and MMI denotes devices, but SCADA refers only
software, which can loaded in any computer.
HMI and MMI are one and the same (H-Human and M-Man). Both
gives same meaning. It depends on supplier nomenclature.
But SCADA is an advanced version of this (Its like
difference between MS dos and Unix).
In SCADA, data history can be provided whereas it is
generally not possible to get in MMI or HMI.
HMI and MMI are cheaper and more suitable for small
applications compared to SCADA.
Re: What is the difference between HMI,SCADA and

SCADA :- Its a software package which can be installed in
PC to create user defined program.
HMI :- Its an Electronic module with pre installed program
(which can be editable) and control buttons.
But SCADA and HMI doing the same functions.
SCADA & HMI(MMI) refers to a system that collects data from
various field devices to monitor and control the process
variables.
