DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0018] It is understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. used in this application may be used herein to describe various elements, but unless otherwise specified, these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish a first element from another element. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, a first xx script may be referred to as a second xx script, and similarly, a second xx script may be referred to as a first xx script.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a steam quality monitoring method provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes: S100, obtaining steam data, where the steam data includes the temperature and pressure of the steam.

[0020] In this step, steam data is obtained, a temperature sensor or thermocouple is installed in the steam pipeline, ensuring that the sensor is in full contact with the steam, connected to a data acquisition system, and the steam temperature is recorded in real time, a pressure sensor is installed in the steam pipeline, ensuring that the sensor can accurately sense the steam pressure, connected to a data acquisition system, and the steam pressure is recorded in real time; For example, a straight pipe section was selected as the installation location. A K-type thermocouple was used and equipped with a stainless steel protective sleeve. After installation, the thermocouple probe was located in the center of the pipeline and connected to the data acquisition system. The real-time monitoring steam temperature was 190°C. A diffused silicon pressure sensor was used and a pressure point was installed on the pipeline. The sensor diaphragm was in direct contact with the steam. The sensor was connected to the data acquisition system and the real-time monitoring steam pressure was 1.5 MPa.

[0021] S200, calculating a steam enthalpy value according to steam data, wherein the steam enthalpy value is used to calculate the steam quality, obtaining a steam enthalpy value, and comparing the steam enthalpy value with a steam enthalpy value table to obtain a first steam quality, wherein the first steam quality is divided into high-quality steam, medium-quality steam, and low-quality steam.

[0022] In this step, the steam enthalpy is calculated based on the steam data. The corresponding enthalpy value is found from the steam enthalpy table according to the measured temperature and pressure, or the enthalpy value is calculated using the following formula: Saturated steam: Saturation temperature (T sat ): The temperature at which steam and water coexist at a given pressure.

[0023] Saturated liquid water enthalpy (h f ): The enthalpy of liquid water at saturation temperature.

[0024] Steam enthalpy (h g ): The enthalpy of steam at saturation temperature.

[0025] For saturated steam: h = x·h g +(1−x)·h f Where h is the enthalpy of steam and x is the steam quality (dryness); Superheated Steam: The enthalpy of superheated steam can be calculated using the following formula: h=h g +C p ·(T−T sat ) Among them, C p is the specific heat of superheated steam, T is the temperature of superheated steam, T sat is the saturation temperature, h g is the enthalpy of saturated steam.

[0026] The steam quality can be determined by comparing the actual measured steam enthalpy with the value in the steam enthalpy table.

[0027] The actual steam enthalpy is between the saturated liquid water enthalpy (h f ) and saturated steam enthalpy (h g ), the steam quality (x) can be calculated by the following formula: x= According to the usage requirements and specific application areas of steam, steam quality can be divided into different levels: High-quality steam (>95%): Suitable for applications requiring high dryness, such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, etc.

[0028] Medium quality steam (85% - 95%): suitable for general industrial applications such as heating, power equipment, etc.

[0029] Low quality steam (<85%): Typically used for less stringent applications or as initial steam for further processing.

[0030] By observing the range in which the value of X falls, we can get the quality level of the steam.

[0031] S300, obtaining the amount of water and steam after condensation of the unqualified steam, calculating the second steam quality by the amount of water and the amount of steam, comparing the first steam quality with the second steam quality, and if the difference between the two does not exceed a threshold, it is determined to be within a reasonable range.

[0032] In this step, the amount of water and steam after condensation of the steam determined to be unqualified is obtained, a steam sample of the steam determined to be unqualified is collected, the steam sample is condensed into water by a condenser, the condensed water sample is collected to ensure that there is no omission, the amount of water and steam after condensation is measured using a precision balance, and the steam quality is calculated based on the measured amount of water and steam; X= *100% Among them, m 蒸汽 is the mass of steam, m 总 is the total mass (mass of steam + mass of water); The first steam quality is compared with the second steam quality. If the two test results are consistent and both show that the steam quality is unqualified, it can be confirmed that there is indeed a problem with the steam system and further processing is required. If the second steam quality is the second qualified steam and the difference between the two does not exceed the threshold, it is judged to be within a reasonable range.

[0033] S400, if the difference between the two exceeds a threshold, it is determined that a fault occurs, and fault information is sent to the terminal, and confirmation information is received from the terminal.

[0034] In this step, if the difference between the two exceeds the threshold, if the second steam quality is the second qualified steam and the difference between the two exceeds the threshold, it is determined that a fault has occurred, and the alarm threshold of the steam quality is set in the control system. When the detection result deviates from the preset range, an alarm is triggered. For example, the alarm threshold of steam quality is set to ±5%. When the difference between two test results exceeds 5%, the system automatically triggers an alarm, prompting the operator to check the steam system and test equipment. Possible causes include: temperature sensor failure, steam trap failure or pipeline leakage, check related equipment and retest, and receive terminal confirmation information.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step of calculating the steam enthalpy value according to the steam data, the steam enthalpy value is used to calculate the steam quality, the steam enthalpy value is obtained, the steam enthalpy value is compared with the steam enthalpy value table, the first steam quality is obtained, and the first steam quality is divided into high-quality steam, medium-quality steam and low-quality steam, specifically includes: S201, calculating the steam enthalpy value according to the steam quality, obtaining the corresponding steam enthalpy value table, comparing the steam enthalpy value with the steam enthalpy value table, and determining the steam type.

[0036] In this step, the steam enthalpy is calculated according to the steam quality. The corresponding enthalpy is found from the steam enthalpy table according to the measured temperature and pressure, or the enthalpy is calculated using the following formula: Saturated steam: Saturation temperature (T sat): The temperature at which steam and water coexist at a given pressure.

[0037] Saturated liquid water enthalpy (h f ): The enthalpy of liquid water at saturation temperature.

[0038] Steam enthalpy (h g ): The enthalpy of steam at saturation temperature.

[0039] For saturated steam: h = x·h g +(1−x)·h f Where h is the enthalpy of steam and x is the steam quality (dryness); Superheated Steam: The enthalpy of superheated steam can be calculated using the following formula: h=h g +C p ·(T−T sat ) Among them, C p is the specific heat of superheated steam, T is the temperature of superheated steam, T sat is the saturation temperature, h g is the enthalpy of saturated steam.

[0040] The steam quality can be determined by comparing the actual measured steam enthalpy with the value in the steam enthalpy table.

[0041] The actual steam enthalpy is between the saturated liquid water enthalpy (h f ) and saturated steam enthalpy (h g ), the steam quality (x) can be calculated by the following formula: x= For example, the measured steam temperature is 190°C and the pressure is 1.5 MPa. According to the steam enthalpy table, the saturated liquid water enthalpy (hf) is 831.9 kJ / kg and the saturated steam enthalpy (hg) is 2794 kJ / kg. Then calculate the actual steam enthalpy: h = 2600 kJ / kg Steam quality at this time: x= =0.897, the steam quality is about 89.7%.

[0042] S202, comparing the steam type with a preset range of high-quality steam, medium-quality steam, and low-quality steam to determine the steam quality.

[0043] In this step, the steam type is compared with the preset range of high-quality steam, medium-quality steam and low-quality steam to determine the steam quality. According to the use requirements and specific application areas of the steam, the steam quality can be divided into different levels: High-quality steam (>95%): Suitable for applications requiring high dryness, such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, etc.

[0044] Medium quality steam (85% - 95%): suitable for general industrial applications such as heating, power equipment, etc.

[0045] Low quality steam (<85%): Typically used for less stringent applications or as initial steam for further processing.

[0046] At this time, the calculated steam quality is about 89.7%, which is judged to be medium-quality steam.

[0047] S203, comparing the steam enthalpy value with the first qualified line, if the steam enthalpy value is less than the qualified line, it is determined to be the first unqualified steam, if the steam enthalpy value is higher than the qualified line, it is determined to be the first qualified steam.

[0048] In this step, the steam enthalpy value is compared with the first qualified line, and the steam quality below 86% is set as unqualified quality. At this time, the steam quality is about 89.7%, which is higher than the qualified line, and is determined to be the first qualified steam; If the calculated steam quality is 85.7%, the first qualified line, it is determined to be the first unqualified steam. At this time, the steam determined to be unqualified steam needs to be calculated again.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step of obtaining the amount of water and steam after condensation of the unqualified steam, calculating the second steam quality by the amount of water and the amount of steam, comparing the first steam quality with the second steam quality, and determining that the difference between the two does not exceed a threshold value and is within a reasonable range, specifically includes: S301, obtaining the amount of water and steam after condensation of the unqualified steam, wherein the unqualified steam passes through a condenser to obtain the amount of water and steam.

[0050] In this step, the amount of water and steam after condensation of the steam determined to be unqualified is obtained, a steam sample of the steam determined to be unqualified is collected, the steam sample is condensed into water by a condenser, the condensed water sample is collected to ensure that there is no omission, the amount of water and steam after condensation is measured using a precision balance, and the steam quality is calculated based on the measured amount of water and steam; X= *100% Among them, m 蒸汽 is the mass of steam, m 总is the total mass (mass of steam + mass of water); For example, use a steam sampler to collect steam samples from the steam pipe, and condense the steam samples into water through a condenser. Total mass (steam + water): 1000 g, water mass: 120 g; Steam quality at this time: X= *100%=88%.

[0051] S302, calculating the second steam quality according to the water amount and the steam amount, comparing the second steam quality with the qualified line, if the second steam quality is less than the qualified line, it is determined to be second unqualified steam, if the second steam quality is higher than the qualified line, it is determined to be second qualified steam.

[0052] In this step, the second steam quality is calculated based on the water volume and steam volume. The steam quality can be divided into different levels according to the steam usage requirements and specific application areas: High-quality steam (>95%): Suitable for applications requiring high dryness, such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, etc.

[0053] Medium quality steam (85% - 95%): suitable for general industrial applications such as heating, power equipment, etc.

[0054] Low quality steam (<85%): Typically used for less stringent applications or as initial steam for further processing.

[0055] According to the second steam quality result of 88%, it can be concluded that this is medium quality steam, and it is higher than the qualified line, so it is judged as the second qualified steam; If the second steam quality result is 85%, it is determined to be the second unqualified steam.

[0056] S303, if both are unqualified, it is determined to be the third unqualified steam; if the second steam quality is the second qualified steam and the difference between the two does not exceed the threshold, it is determined to be within a reasonable range.

[0057] In this step, if both the first steam quality and the second steam quality are unqualified, it means that the steam quality is unqualified, and at the same time, it means that the result of the first steam quality is correct; If the second steam quality is the second qualified steam and the difference between the two does not exceed the threshold, the threshold is set in advance, which is the error allowed in the measurement process. For example, the threshold is set to 5%. The above-mentioned second steam quality result is 88%, and the first steam quality is about 89.7%. At this time, the error is 1.7%, indicating that the two test results are basically consistent, and it can be confirmed that the steam quality is between 88% and 90%.

[0058] like Figure 4As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the difference between the two exceeds a threshold, it is determined that a fault occurs, a fault message is sent to a terminal, and a step of receiving a terminal confirmation message specifically includes: S401: If the second steam quality is the second qualified steam and the difference between the two exceeds a threshold, it is determined that a fault occurs.

[0059] In this step, if the second steam quality is the second qualified steam and the first steam quality is the unqualified steam, for example, the second steam quality result is 88% and the first steam quality is about 82.7%, at this time the difference between the two is 5.3%, which exceeds the threshold of 5%, indicating that the device is faulty; There may be a temperature sensor or thermocouple failure, a steam pipe leak, or a steam trap failure, which may result in the inability to effectively discharge water. At this time, the system automatically triggers an alarm to prompt the operator to check the steam system and detection equipment.

[0060] S402, sending fault information to the terminal, and receiving confirmation information from the terminal, wherein the confirmation information includes specific faults and processing steps.

[0061] In this step, the fault information is sent to the terminal. At this time, the terminal detects and calibrates the temperature sensor and pressure sensor to ensure that they are working properly; checks the connection and operation status of the data acquisition system; checks whether there is a leak in the steam pipeline and repairs the leak point; checks the working status of the steam trap to ensure its normal operation; checks the operating status of the boiler to ensure that it provides stable steam.

[0062] Confirm whether the sensor is installed in a suitable position; check whether the sampling method is correct and ensure that the sampling process is correct; re-test the steam quality after calibrating the equipment.

[0063] After the processing is completed, the terminal receives confirmation information, including the specific fault and processing steps.

[0064] S403: Generate a fault report according to the confirmation information, and store the fault report.

[0065] In this step, a fault report is generated based on the confirmation information. The control system automatically generates a fault report, records the detection data, equipment status and possible causes of the fault. At the same time, the fault report can be sent to relevant maintenance personnel and managers via SMS, email or mobile application to reduce the possibility of the fault occurring again.

[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, a steam quality monitoring system provided by an embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the system comprises: The data acquisition module 100 is used to acquire steam data, where the steam data includes the temperature and pressure of the steam.

[0067] In this system, the data acquisition module 100 acquires steam data, installs a temperature sensor or a thermocouple in the steam pipeline, ensures that the sensor is in full contact with the steam, connects to the data acquisition system, and records the steam temperature in real time, installs a pressure sensor in the steam pipeline, ensures that the sensor can accurately sense the steam pressure, connects to the data acquisition system, and records the steam pressure in real time; For example, a straight pipe section was selected as the installation location. A K-type thermocouple was used and equipped with a stainless steel protective sleeve. After installation, the thermocouple probe was located in the center of the pipeline and connected to the data acquisition system. The real-time monitoring steam temperature was 190°C. A diffused silicon pressure sensor was used and a pressure point was installed on the pipeline. The sensor diaphragm was in direct contact with the steam. The sensor was connected to the data acquisition system and the real-time monitoring steam pressure was 1.5 MPa.

[0068] The first steam quality module 200 is used to calculate the steam enthalpy value according to the steam data. The steam enthalpy value is used to calculate the steam quality, obtain the steam enthalpy value, compare the steam enthalpy value with the steam enthalpy value table, and obtain the first steam quality. The first steam quality is divided into high-quality steam, medium-quality steam and low-quality steam.

[0069] In the present system, the first steam quality module 200 calculates the steam enthalpy value according to the steam data, by measuring the temperature T and pressure P of the steam, looking up the corresponding enthalpy value from the steam enthalpy value table according to the measured temperature and pressure, or calculating the enthalpy value using the following formula: Saturated steam: Saturation temperature (T sat ): The temperature at which steam and water coexist at a given pressure.

[0070] Saturated liquid water enthalpy (h f ): The enthalpy of liquid water at saturation temperature.

[0071] Steam enthalpy (h g ): The enthalpy of steam at saturation temperature.

[0072] For saturated steam: h = x·h g +(1−x)·h f Where h is the enthalpy of steam and x is the steam quality (dryness); Superheated Steam: The enthalpy of superheated steam can be calculated using the following formula: h=h g +C p ·(T−T sat ) Among them, C p is the specific heat of superheated steam, T is the temperature of superheated steam, T sat is the saturation temperature, hg is the enthalpy of saturated steam.

[0073] The steam quality can be determined by comparing the actual measured steam enthalpy with the value in the steam enthalpy table.

[0074] The actual steam enthalpy is between the saturated liquid water enthalpy (h f ) and saturated steam enthalpy (h g ), the steam quality (x) can be calculated by the following formula: x= According to the usage requirements and specific application areas of steam, steam quality can be divided into different levels: High-quality steam (>95%): Suitable for applications requiring high dryness, such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, etc.

[0075] Medium quality steam (85% - 95%): suitable for general industrial applications such as heating, power equipment, etc.

[0076] Low quality steam (<85%): Typically used for less stringent applications or as initial steam for further processing.

[0077] By observing the range in which the value of X falls, we can get the quality level of the steam.

[0078] The second steam quality module 300 is used to obtain the amount of water and steam after condensation of the steam determined to be unqualified, calculate the second steam quality by the amount of water and the amount of steam, compare the first steam quality with the second steam quality, and if the difference between the two does not exceed a threshold, it is determined to be within a reasonable range.

[0079] In the present system, the second steam quality module 300 obtains the amount of water and steam after condensation of the steam determined to be unqualified, collects steam samples determined to be unqualified, condenses the steam samples into water through a condenser, collects the condensed water samples to ensure that there is no omission, uses a precision balance to measure the amount of water and steam after condensation, and calculates the steam quality based on the measured amount of water and steam; X= *100% Among them, m 蒸汽 is the mass of steam, m 总 is the total mass (mass of steam + mass of water); The first steam quality is compared with the second steam quality. If the two test results are consistent and both show that the steam quality is unqualified, it can be confirmed that there is indeed a problem with the steam system and further processing is required. If the second steam quality is the second qualified steam and the difference between the two does not exceed the threshold, it is judged to be within a reasonable range.

[0080] The fault determination module 400 is used to determine that a fault occurs when the difference between the two exceeds a threshold, send fault information to the terminal, and receive terminal confirmation information.

[0081] In this system, the fault judgment module 400 determines that the difference between the two exceeds the threshold. If the second steam quality is the second qualified steam and the difference between the two exceeds the threshold, it is determined that a fault has occurred, and the alarm threshold of the steam quality is set in the control system. When the detection result deviates from the preset range, an alarm is triggered. For example, the alarm threshold of steam quality is set to ±5%. When the difference between two test results exceeds 5%, the system automatically triggers an alarm, prompting the operator to check the steam system and test equipment. Possible causes include: temperature sensor failure, steam trap failure or pipeline leakage, check related equipment and retest, and receive terminal confirmation information.

[0082] like Figure 6 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first steam quality module 200 includes: The steam enthalpy value unit 201 is used to calculate the steam enthalpy value according to the steam quality, obtain the corresponding steam enthalpy value table, compare the steam enthalpy value with the steam enthalpy value table, and determine the steam type.

[0083] In this module, the steam enthalpy value unit 201 calculates the steam enthalpy value according to the steam quality, by measuring the temperature T and pressure P of the steam, looking up the corresponding enthalpy value from the steam enthalpy value table according to the measured temperature and pressure, or calculating the enthalpy value using the following formula: Saturated steam: Saturation temperature (T sat ): The temperature at which steam and water coexist at a given pressure.

[0084] Saturated liquid water enthalpy (h f ): The enthalpy of liquid water at saturation temperature.

[0085] Steam enthalpy (h g ): The enthalpy of steam at saturation temperature.

[0086] For saturated steam: h = x·h g +(1−x)·h f Where h is the enthalpy of steam and x is the steam quality (dryness); Superheated Steam: The enthalpy of superheated steam can be calculated using the following formula: h=h g +C p ·(T−T sat ) Among them, C pis the specific heat of superheated steam, T is the temperature of superheated steam, T sat is the saturation temperature, h g is the enthalpy of saturated steam.

[0087] The steam quality can be determined by comparing the actual measured steam enthalpy with the value in the steam enthalpy table.

[0088] The actual steam enthalpy is between the saturated liquid water enthalpy (h f ) and saturated steam enthalpy (h g ), the steam quality (x) can be calculated by the following formula: x= For example, the measured steam temperature is 190°C and the pressure is 1.5 MPa. According to the steam enthalpy table, the saturated liquid water enthalpy (hf) is 831.9 kJ / kg and the saturated steam enthalpy (hg) is 2794 kJ / kg. Then calculate the actual steam enthalpy: h = 2600 kJ / kg Steam quality at this time: x= =0.897, the steam quality is about 89.7%.

[0089] The steam quality determination unit 202 is used to determine the steam quality by comparing the steam type with a preset range of high-quality steam, medium-quality steam and low-quality steam.

[0090] In this module, the steam quality determination unit 202 determines the steam quality by comparing the steam type with the preset range of high-quality steam, medium-quality steam and low-quality steam. The steam quality can be divided into different levels according to the use requirements and specific application fields of the steam: High-quality steam (>95%): Suitable for applications requiring high dryness, such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, etc.

[0091] Medium quality steam (85% - 95%): suitable for general industrial applications such as heating, power equipment, etc.

[0092] Low quality steam (<85%): Typically used for less stringent applications or as initial steam for further processing.

[0093] At this time, the calculated steam quality is about 89.7%, which is judged to be medium-quality steam.

[0094] The first determination unit 203 is used to compare the steam enthalpy value with the first qualified line. If the steam enthalpy value is less than the qualified line, it is determined as the first unqualified steam. If the steam enthalpy value is higher than the qualified line, it is determined as the first qualified steam.

[0095] In this module, the first determination unit 203 compares the steam enthalpy value with the first qualified line, and sets the steam quality below 86% as unqualified quality. At this time, the steam quality is about 89.7%, which is higher than the qualified line, and is determined to be the first qualified steam; If the calculated steam quality is 85.7%, the first qualified line, it is determined to be the first unqualified steam. At this time, the steam determined to be unqualified steam needs to be calculated again.

[0096] like Figure 7 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second steam quality module 300 includes: The condensation unit 301 is used to obtain the amount of water and steam after condensation of the unqualified steam, wherein the unqualified steam passes through a condenser to obtain the amount of water and steam.

[0097] In this module, the condensation unit 301 obtains the amount of water and steam after condensation of the steam determined to be unqualified, collects the steam sample determined to be unqualified, condenses the steam sample into water through a condenser, collects the condensed water sample to ensure that there is no omission, uses a precision balance to measure the amount of water and steam after condensation, and calculates the steam quality based on the measured amount of water and steam; X= *100% Among them, m 蒸汽 is the mass of steam, m 总 is the total mass (mass of steam + mass of water); For example, use a steam sampler to collect steam samples from the steam pipe, and condense the steam samples into water through a condenser. Total mass (steam + water): 1000 g, water mass: 120 g; Steam quality at this time: X= *100%=88%.

[0098] The second determination unit 302 is used to calculate the second steam quality according to the water amount and the steam amount, compare the second steam quality with the qualified line, and if the second steam quality is less than the qualified line, determine it as second unqualified steam; if the second steam quality is higher than the qualified line, determine it as second qualified steam.

[0099] In this module, the second determination unit 302 calculates the second steam quality according to the water amount and the steam amount. The steam quality can be divided into different levels according to the use requirements and specific application fields of the steam: High-quality steam (>95%): Suitable for applications requiring high dryness, such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, etc.

[0100] Medium quality steam (85% - 95%): suitable for general industrial applications such as heating, power equipment, etc.

[0101] Low quality steam (<85%): Typically used for less stringent applications or as initial steam for further processing.

[0102] According to the second steam quality result of 88%, it can be concluded that this is medium quality steam, and it is higher than the qualified line, so it is judged as the second qualified steam; If the second steam quality result is 85%, it is determined to be the second unqualified steam.

[0103] The threshold comparison unit 303 is used to determine that the steam is the third unqualified steam if both are unqualified, and to determine that the steam is within a reasonable range if the second steam quality is the second qualified steam and the difference between the two does not exceed the threshold.

[0104] In this module, if the threshold comparison unit 303 finds both the first steam quality and the second steam quality to be unqualified, it indicates that the steam quality is unqualified, and at the same time, it indicates that the result of the first steam quality is correct; If the second steam quality is the second qualified steam and the difference between the two does not exceed the threshold, the threshold is set in advance, which is the error allowed in the measurement process. For example, the threshold is set to 5%. The above-mentioned second steam quality result is 88%, and the first steam quality is about 89.7%. At this time, the error is 1.7%, indicating that the two test results are basically consistent, and it can be confirmed that the steam quality is between 88% and 90%.

At this time, the system automatically triggers an alarm to prompt the operator to check the steam system and detection equipment.

[0107] The fault processing unit 402 is used to send fault information to the terminal and receive terminal confirmation information, wherein the confirmation information includes specific faults and processing steps.

[0109] Confirm whether the sensor is installed in a suitable position; check whether the sampling method is correct and ensure that the sampling process is correct; re-test the steam quality after calibrating the equipment.

[0110] The fault reporting unit 403 is used to generate a fault report according to the confirmation information and store the fault report.

[0111] In this module, the fault reporting unit 403 generates a fault report based on the confirmation information. The control system automatically generates a fault report, records the detection data, equipment status and possible causes of the fault, and can send the fault report to relevant maintenance personnel and managers via SMS, email or mobile application to reduce the possibility of the fault occurring again.
