[0024] In view of the fact that in the related art, when a measuring element has a hidden danger of failure, it is difficult to be discovered in time and then to eliminate these hidden dangers in time, which increases the safety risk of the system that relies on the analog data of the measuring element for related control. The present application provides a measuring element failure warning method, device, equipment and medium. The measuring element failure warning method, device, equipment and medium provided by the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and implementation methods.

[0025] Figure 1 The first flow chart of the measuring element failure warning method according to the embodiment of the present application is schematically shown. Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a measuring element fault warning method is provided, which is applied to a control system. The control system includes an analog measurement element, an analog three-centering algorithm block, an RS trigger and an alarm module connected in sequence. The method is executed by the analog three-centering algorithm block. The method may include the following steps.

[0026] Step A200, obtaining analog data collected by the analog measurement element.

[0027] Among them, analog quantity refers to a physical quantity that is continuous in time and value. In the control system, analog quantity includes temperature, pressure, flow, liquid level, etc. In specific applications, analog quantity can be collected through physical devices (such as temperature transmitters, pressure sensors), and transmitted to related devices (such as controllers) through analog signal lines.

[0028] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the analog measurement element, the analog three-centering algorithm block and the RS trigger connected in sequence together constitute a device group of the control system. One device group includes three analog measurement elements, and the physical positions of the three analog measurement elements are adjacent. Each analog measurement element included in the device group is connected to the analog three-centering algorithm block it contains, and the analog three-centering algorithm block performs subsequent operations according to the analog data collected by each analog measurement element at the same time.

[0029] Taking the desulfurization system as an example, three flue gas temperature measuring elements are arranged on the original flue (that is, the analog quantity is the flue gas temperature). Each flue gas temperature measuring element adopts a temperature transmitter and is physically adjacent to each other on the original flue. The temperature data collected by each flue gas temperature measuring element is sent to the analog quantity three-centering algorithm block connected to it.

[0030] It can be understood that the control system may include multiple device groups. When the control system includes multiple device groups, the analog three-centering algorithm block in each device group may execute all the steps mentioned in this embodiment.

[0031] Step A400: determining the potential fault status of the analog quantity measuring element according to the analog quantity data.

[0032] The potential fault status is that a potential fault exists or that a potential fault does not exist.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, the analog quantity three-centering algorithm block uses a three-measurement processing algorithm to monitor the quality of each analog quantity measuring element and the deviation between them according to the analog quantity data obtained by the three analog quantity measuring elements connected to it, so as to determine whether each analog quantity measuring element has a quality alarm or a deviation alarm. Among them, if the quality of the analog quantity measuring element input is BAD or the value is an invalid floating point number, it is called a quality alarm; if the absolute value of the difference between the input values ​​of two analog quantity measuring elements is greater than or equal to the preset deviation allowable value (DEV), it is called a deviation alarm.

[0034] Specifically, for the three analog quantity data obtained, the analog quantity three-centering algorithm block monitors whether the analog quantity measuring element has a quality alarm or a deviation alarm through process judgment. The process judgment of the analog quantity three-centering algorithm block specifically includes: If all inputs have quality alarms, the output maintains the previous non-bad value and the output point quality is BAD; If two inputs have quality alarms, the third input without quality alarms is selected; If only one input has a quality alarm, and there is no deviation alarm between the other two inputs, the output is equal to the average of the two input signals without quality alarms, and the quality is the worse of the two input qualities; If only one input has a quality alarm, and the other two inputs have a deviation alarm, the output maintains the previous non-bad value, and the output point quality is BAD; If there is no quality alarm for any of the three inputs, but there is a deviation alarm between any two of them, the output maintains the previous non-bad value, and the output point quality is BAD; If none of the three inputs have quality alarms, one of them has a deviation alarm with the other two, and there is no deviation alarm between the other two, the output is equal to the average of the two input signals without deviation alarms, and the quality is the worse of the two inputs; If none of the three inputs have quality alarms, but there are deviation alarms between two of them, but they have no deviation alarms with the third, the value and quality of the output will be the same as the third input.

[0035] The embodiment of the present application uses the analog quantity three-centering algorithm block function to analyze the state of the analog quantity measurement element, thereby determining whether the analog quantity measurement element has a potential fault. Specifically, for each analog quantity measurement element, when the analog quantity measurement element has a quality alarm or a deviation alarm, the potential fault state of the analog quantity measurement element is determined to be the presence of a potential fault, and when the analog quantity measurement element has no quality alarm and no deviation alarm, the potential fault state of the analog quantity measurement element is determined to be the absence of a potential fault.

[0036] Step A600, when it is determined that the fault potential state of the analog measurement element is that there is a fault potential, a fault potential signal is generated and sent to the RS trigger, so that the RS trigger maintains the first state in response to the fault potential signal, generates an alarm signal according to the fault potential signal and sends it to the alarm module, and the alarm module issues an alarm prompt according to the alarm signal.

[0037] The first state indicates that the analog quantity measurement element has a potential fault, and both the potential fault signal and the alarm signal include relevant information corresponding to the analog quantity measurement element with the potential fault.

[0038] The relevant information is specifically the unique identification information of the analog quantity measuring element, which may be the coding information or the element name of the analog quantity measuring element.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the analog quantity three-centering algorithm block outputs the determined fault potential state of the analog quantity measurement element to the RS trigger connected thereto in the form of a GP point through its own monitoring and judgment. Among them, a GP point contains 16 switch points, which are represented by bit0-bit15 respectively, and different bits represent different meanings, that is, the abnormal conditions of the analog quantity measurement element can be recorded respectively through the output of different bits of the GP point.

[0040] For example, the three temperature transmitters in the above example are respectively recorded as temperature transmitter A, temperature transmitter B and temperature transmitter C. Bit 1 of the GP point represents that the quality of temperature transmitter A is bad, bit 2 represents that the quality of temperature transmitter B is bad, bit 3 represents that the quality of temperature transmitter C is bad, bit 4 represents that the deviation between temperature transmitter A and temperature transmitter B and temperature transmitter C is large, bit 5 represents that the deviation between temperature transmitter B and temperature transmitter A and temperature transmitter C is large, and bit 6 represents that the deviation between temperature transmitter C and temperature transmitter A and temperature transmitter B is large.

[0041] When the analog quantity three-centering algorithm block collects the real-time input of three temperature transmitters, if the input of temperature transmitter A is monitored to be BAD, it is judged that there is a quality alarm of temperature transmitter A, and at this time, GP point-bit1 is output to represent the quality alarm of temperature transmitter A. If the measured value (i.e., analog quantity data) of temperature transmitter A is monitored to be too large, and the measured values ​​of temperature transmitters B and temperature transmitters C are similar, and the deviation value of the measured values ​​of temperature transmitters A and temperature transmitter B is greater than the preset control deviation dead zone DEV, and the deviation value of the measured values ​​of temperature transmitters A and temperature transmitter C is greater than the preset control deviation dead zone DEV, it is judged that there is a deviation alarm of temperature transmitter A, and at this time, GP point-bit4 is output to represent the deviation alarm of temperature transmitter A.

[0042] It can be seen that the measuring element fault warning method provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the analog quantity three-centering algorithm block finds that the analog quantity measuring element may have a fault, promptly sends a fault hidden danger signal (i.e., the output of the GP point) to the RS trigger, so that the RS trigger is kept in the "1" state, i.e., the first state, so that the RS trigger generates an alarm signal based on the fault hidden danger signal and sends the alarm signal to the alarm module, so that the alarm module issues an alarm prompt according to the alarm signal, so that relevant personnel can promptly know that the analog quantity measuring element has a fault hidden danger, and then promptly eliminate the discovered fault hidden danger, thereby ensuring the operating reliability and accuracy of the analog quantity measuring element, and then improving the safety of the control system, that is, effectively reducing the system safety risk of related control that relies on the analog quantity data collected by the analog quantity measuring element.

[0043] That is, the measuring element fault warning method provided in the embodiment of the present application obtains and records abnormal moments when analog data has jumps or large deviations through the logical configuration of the analog three-centering algorithm block, and reminds relevant personnel to discover problems in time by sending alarm signals, and then notifies maintenance personnel to focus on checking suspicious analog measurement elements and repair them in time, so that the hidden dangers of failure of analog measurement elements can be eliminated in time in the bud stage.

[0044] In addition, in the automation control system, the pressure, temperature, flow and liquid level measurement objects of important equipment or process flow are usually equipped with three measuring elements, and the principle of two out of three is adopted to reduce the accidental error of a single measuring element and cause measurement inaccuracy, thereby improving the reliability of system protection. Although this method enhances the reliability of system protection to a certain extent, it does not mean that all measuring elements are in normal measurement and monitoring status.

[0045] Take the desulfurization system as an example. During the operation of the desulfurization system, the original flue gas contains a large amount of impurities such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and dust. These components not only cause serious environmental pollution, but also have strong corrosiveness, which can easily lead to unstable or erroneous output of the measuring element. For the collected original flue gas temperature data, the relevant personnel can only strengthen monitoring on the DCS screen and regularly record operation reports for auxiliary monitoring. However, if the hidden dangers of the measuring elements of the original flue gas temperature are not discovered in time, and the system protection still relies on the output of these measuring elements, then the risk of false triggering of the system protection will increase, especially when there are hidden dangers in two or more measuring elements, the risk of false triggering of protection will increase significantly, which may lead to serious consequences, such as the main fuel trip (MFT) of the boiler.

[0046] Based on this, the measuring element failure early warning method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps.

[0047] Step A700, determining target analog data of the physical position of the analog measurement element according to the analog data, and sending the target analog data to the control module of the control system, so that the control module determines whether to perform system protection operation according to the target analog data.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the analog quantity three-centering algorithm block determines the target analog quantity data of the physical positions of the three analog quantity measuring elements according to the analog quantity data of the three analog quantity measuring elements and the potential fault status of each analog quantity measuring element.

[0049] In a specific example, when the three analog quantity measuring elements have no quality alarm and deviation alarm, the target analog quantity data is determined to be the middle value of the analog quantity data of the three analog quantity measuring elements, otherwise, the best or most likely correct analog quantity data among the analog quantity data of the three analog quantity measuring elements, or the average value of the three analog quantity data is selected as the target analog quantity data. After obtaining the real and effective measurement value (i.e., the target analog quantity data), the control module determines whether to perform system protection operation according to the preset system protection rules. For example, in the desulfurization system, when the flue gas temperature value is greater than 180°C, it is easy to cause serious damage to the anti-corrosion material in the absorption tower, which leads to an accident. Based on this, when the current value of the flue gas temperature determined according to the three flue gas temperature values ​​collected at the same time (i.e., the target analog quantity data) is greater than 180°C, the control module determines to perform system protection operation, that is, the boiler triggers the MFT protection trip.

[0050] The embodiment of the present application can effectively prevent the control system from erroneously executing system protection operations due to potential faults in the analog quantity measurement element by determining the target analog quantity data of the physical position of the analog quantity measurement element based on the collected analog quantity data.

[0051] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, after step A400, the method may further include the following steps.

[0052] Step A500: Send the analog quantity data and the potential fault status of the analog quantity measuring element to the data storage module, and the data storage module performs data storage.

[0053] The embodiment of the present application stores the analog data and fault potential status of the analog measurement element to facilitate subsequent query and backtracking, thereby helping to establish maintenance decisions for the control system and further improving the safety of the control system.

[0054] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a first flow chart of a method for early warning of a fault of a measuring element in an embodiment. It should be understood that although Figure 1 The steps in the flowchart are shown in sequence as indicated by the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified in this document, there is no strict order restriction for the execution of these steps, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, Figure 1At least part of the steps may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages. These sub-steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these sub-steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least part of the sub-steps or stages of other steps.

[0055] Figure 2 The second flow chart of the measuring element failure early warning method according to the embodiment of the present application is schematically shown. Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a measuring element fault warning method is provided, which is applied to a control system. The control system includes an analog measurement element, an analog three-centering algorithm block, an RS trigger and an alarm module connected in sequence. The method is executed by the RS trigger. The method may include the following steps.

[0056] Step B200, in response to the potential fault signal received from the analog quantity three-centering algorithm block, maintaining the first state.

[0057] The first state indicates that the analog quantity measurement element has a potential fault, and the potential fault signal is generated by the analog quantity three-centering algorithm block based on determining that the potential fault state of the analog quantity measurement element is a potential fault.

[0058] Step B400, generating an alarm signal according to the potential fault signal and sending the alarm signal to the alarm module, so that the alarm module issues an alarm prompt according to the alarm signal.

[0059] The alarm signal includes relevant information corresponding to the analog measurement element with potential fault.

[0060] Specifically, at the moment when the analog data collected by the analog measurement element is abnormal, it will be collected and monitored in real time by the analog three-centering algorithm block and output as an alarm. This output is immediately captured by the RS trigger and maintained as an alarm information output, prompting relevant personnel that the analog measurement element has a hidden fault. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the alarm information output by the RS trigger does not disappear when the analog data of the analog measurement element returns to normal from the abnormal moment. The RS trigger can only be reset to eliminate the alarm after the relevant personnel receive the alarm prompt and the maintenance personnel conduct an on-site actual inspection of the analog measurement element with hidden faults.

[0061] For example, assuming that the analog three-centering algorithm block detects that a bad point appears in the instantaneous input of temperature transmitter A, the analog three-centering algorithm block output state GP point (bit1) switch point output will monitor that the quality alarm of the temperature transmitter changes from 0 to 1. In this case, the RS trigger is used to maintain the collected quality alarm status as an alarm information output and pass it to the alarm module, so that the alarm module prompts relevant personnel that the temperature transmitter A is suspected to be faulty.

[0062] It can be seen that in the measuring element fault warning method provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the analog quantity three-centering algorithm block finds that the analog quantity measuring element may have a fault, the RS trigger outputs an alarm signal in a timely manner so that relevant personnel can know that there is a hidden fault in the analog quantity measuring element at the first time, and then promptly notify the maintenance personnel to conduct timely inspections and eliminate the existing hidden faults, thereby ensuring the operating reliability and accuracy of the analog quantity measuring element, and thus improving the safety of the control system.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the method may further include the following steps.

[0064] Step B600, switching from the first state to the second state in response to a reset signal received from the alarm module.

[0065] The second state indicates that there is no hidden danger of failure in the analog quantity measuring element.

[0066] Specifically, when the reset signal sent by the alarm module is obtained, it indicates that the potential fault of the analog quantity measuring element has been eliminated. In this case, by switching the RS trigger from the first state to the second state, that is, switching to the "0" state, it is ensured that the analog quantity measuring element enters the monitoring state of the analog quantity three-centering algorithm block again. When the analog quantity three-centering algorithm block subsequently finds that the analog quantity measuring element has a potential fault, the RS trigger can promptly issue an alarm signal, thereby prompting relevant personnel through the alarm module.

[0067] Figure 3 The third flow chart of the measuring element failure early warning method according to the embodiment of the present application is schematically shown. Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a measuring element fault warning method is provided, which is applied to a control system. The control system includes an analog measurement element, an analog three-centering algorithm block, an RS trigger and an alarm module connected in sequence. The method is executed by the alarm module, and the method may include the following steps.

[0068] Step C200, obtaining the alarm signal sent by the RS trigger.

[0069] The alarm signal is generated by the RS trigger according to the potential fault signal sent by the analog three-centering algorithm block; the potential fault signal is generated by the analog three-centering algorithm block when the potential fault state of the analog measurement element is determined to be the presence of a potential fault. Both the potential fault signal and the alarm signal contain relevant information corresponding to the analog measurement element with a potential fault.

[0070] Step C400: issuing an alarm prompt according to the alarm signal.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, the alarm module includes a display interface, in which a reset button is provided; the display interface is used to display relevant information corresponding to the analog quantity measurement element with potential faults; the reset button can be triggered by the operator to switch the RS trigger to the second state. The second state indicates that the analog quantity measurement element has no potential faults.

[0072] In a specific example, when the alarm module receives the alarm signal (i.e., when the alarm point is triggered), the alarm module uses the built-in optical alarm tool program of the DCS system software to pop up an alarm window containing relevant information of the analog measurement element with potential faults on the display interface to provide an alarm prompt, such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the relevant personnel will notify the instrument maintenance personnel to conduct on-site inspections based on the alarm prompts to eliminate the existing potential fault hazards.

[0073] In addition, the alarm module may further include a voice alarm unit to notify relevant personnel through voice playback that the analog quantity measuring element has a potential fault.

[0074] It can be seen that after obtaining the alarm signal output by the RS trigger, the measuring element fault warning method provided in the embodiment of the present application issues an alarm prompt for the alarm signal, so that relevant personnel can promptly discover the potential faults of the analog measurement element, and then eliminate the existing potential faults, thereby ensuring the operating reliability and accuracy of the analog measurement element, and thus improving the safety of the control system.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the method may further include the following steps.

[0076] Step C500, generating a reset signal when the reset button is triggered.

[0077] Step C600: sending the reset signal to the RS flip-flop to switch the RS flip-flop from the first state to the second state.

[0078] The second state indicates that there is no hidden danger of failure in the analog quantity measuring element.

[0079] Specifically, after the maintenance personnel conduct an on-site inspection based on the alarm signal and eliminate the potential fault of the analog quantity measuring element, the alarm of the analog quantity measuring element is reset on the display interface, so that the analog quantity measuring element enters the monitoring state again, ensuring continuous fault warning of the analog quantity measuring element.
