Description
A multi-point collaborative gas emergency shutdown location method based on a gas monitoring system Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automation control technology, specifically relating to a multi-point collaborative gas emergency shutdown positioning method based on a gas monitoring system. Background Technology
[0002] For applications involving flammable, explosive, or toxic gases (such as in semiconductor plants, chemical plants, and gas stations), real-time monitoring of gas leaks, fires, physical impacts, and manual emergency intervention (EMO button) is required. Distributed equipment deployment (multi-area gas holders, VMB valve boxes) necessitates coordinating global shutdown logic for valves, gas sources, and evacuation routes. Millisecond-level response is required, and erroneous or delayed shutdowns that could escalate the accident must be avoided. Decision-making relies on multi-source signal collaboration; a single signal is prone to false alarms.
[0003] Traditional standalone alarm systems cannot handle multi-device linkage (such as GIS coordinates, fire zone linkage), and need to be combined with dynamic topology (device-valve mapping table) and real-time risk calculation (risk-distance weighted map).
[0004] The main problems at this stage are:
[0005] (1) The lack of uniformity between analog and digital signals and the asynchronous clocks lead to timing chaos. Transmission errors affect decision-making, resulting in distortion or delay of alarm signals and reduced shutdown accuracy.
[0006] (2) Traditional systems cannot correlate signals from multiple devices in real time, and a single alarm may be falsely triggered to shut down (such as gas leaks that are not combined with flame / earthquake signals), or may fail to report critical risks.
[0007] (3) Fixed alarm thresholds cannot adapt to environmental changes, and sensor zero drift / full drift leads to measurement deviation, resulting in a high false alarm rate.
[0008] (4) The preset shutdown path cannot be dynamically adjusted. There is no emergency mechanism when the link is interrupted or the valve fails, which causes shutdown delay or failure and expands the scope of the accident.
[0009] (5) There is no real-time feedback on the shutdown result and no audit traceability for the reset operation, so the effectiveness of the shutdown cannot be confirmed and manual reset may cause secondary risks. Summary of the Invention
[0010] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this invention provides a multi-point coordinated gas emergency shutdown positioning method. The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solution:
[0011] S1: Based on the distributed deployment of gas detectors, flame detectors, seismographs, and EMO emergency stop buttons, it collects multi-source alarm signals in real time, including gas concentration, flame signal, seismic acceleration, and manual trigger signal; and converts the analog and digital quantities of the multi-source alarm signals into digital processing codes.
[0012] S2: Perform real-time collaborative analysis on the digital processing encoding of the multi-source alarm signals to obtain alarm priority and associated device address, and verify the accuracy of the data through a practical coefficient correction model; combine dynamic networking and collaborative decision-making mechanisms to generate collaborative decisions for multi-source alarms, and dynamically generate shutdown paths based on the collaborative decision-making results;
[0013] S3: Execute the shutdown path and feed the execution result back to the host computer monitoring platform in real time, and update the status of the on-site alarm lights and the broadcast system simultaneously to complete the closed-loop control of the gas emergency shutdown;
[0014] S4: Records alarm history curves, device status and linkage logic of shutdown operations through the host computer monitoring platform, and provides a manual reset interface to release the shutdown state.
[0015] Specifically, the analog and digital signals of the multi-source alarm signals are uniformly converted into digital processing codes, which includes the following steps:
[0016] S101: The acquired multi-source alarm signals are encapsulated into a unified data frame that follows a predefined structure. The data frame includes: a timestamp field for identifying the signal acquisition time, a source device address field for uniquely identifying the signal source, a signal type encoding field for distinguishing signal types, and a data payload field for carrying the actual measured value.
[0017] S102: For analog signals, the standardized electrical signal is converted into a corresponding digital quantity by an analog-to-digital converter, and the digital quantity is used as the data load field; for switch signals, the on / off or open / closed state is directly mapped to a preset binary value of 1 or 0, and the binary value is used as the data load.
[0018] S103: Synchronize the local clocks of all distributed detectors, probes, seismographs and emergency stop buttons in the system based on the time protocol. The value of the timestamp field comes from the synchronized local clock.
[0019] S104: When generating a unified data frame, the receiving end automatically corrects bit errors generated during transmission using forward error correction codes without requesting retransmission. The forward error correction codes are added to a preset field of the data frame.
[0020] Specifically, the real-time collaborative analysis method is as follows:
[0021] S201: Receive and buffer unified data frames from all distributed nodes, establish a sliding time window according to the timestamp field, and construct a real-time signal matrix within the window using the source device address as an index;
[0022] S202: Based on the local danger index of each type of signal, perform priority sorting according to the real-time signal matrix, and construct a collaborative correlation graph;
[0023] S203: Cluster the collaborative association graph based on the graph segmentation algorithm to obtain collaborative alarm clusters; and calculate the danger level of each collaborative alarm cluster;
[0024] S204: Sort the alarm priority queue in descending order according to the danger level of each cluster; at the same time, extract the addresses of all nodes in the cluster to form a set of associated device addresses.
[0025] Specifically, the practical coefficient correction model includes environmental parameter calibration, equipment health correction, and dynamic range locking. The environmental parameter calibration is based on sensor data to dynamically compensate for gas concentration values. The equipment health correction adjusts the alarm threshold based on the real-time health status of the fault status and power status displayed on the detector list screen of the host computer monitoring platform, as well as the equipment's runtime and number of faults. The dynamic range locking automatically performs "zero drift - full drift" two-point calibration after the equipment is powered on or after each maintenance, records the current zero point and full point, calculates the error between the current zero point and full point and the zero point and full point before maintenance, locks the new range, and immediately pushes it to all related nodes.
[0026] Specifically, the implementation logic of the dynamic networking in the gas emergency shutdown is as follows:
[0027] When a collaborative alarm cluster is formed, the communication path is automatically switched based on the PLC redundancy architecture. The main path is directly connected to high-priority devices through a switch, and the backup path is connected to secondary devices through a serial port converter, forming a ring topology.
[0028] Shutdown commands take priority in using the real-time control channel; a local command cache is deployed at the gas holder level to store backup shutdown commands; in the event of a network interruption, the area PLC executes the last valid command received.
[0029] Specifically, the decision-making logic of the collaborative decision-making mechanism is as follows:
[0030] The on-site PLC directly generates a shutdown command based on the locally stored device-valve mapping table, immediately shuts down the corresponding gas cylinder cabinet or VMB valve, and caches a copy of the command.
[0031] The redundant PLC collects the status of all nodes in the cluster through a ring Ethernet network and solves the minimum impact shutdown set on the topology graph.
[0032] The host computer server combines GIS coordinates, evacuation routes, and fire zones to generate a global shutdown path.
[0033] Specifically, the mechanism for generating and executing the shutdown path is as follows:
[0034] Using the highest priority collaborative alarm cluster as the root node, a risk-distance weighted graph is constructed by combining the device topology diagram; the shortest shutdown path from the root node to all valves that need to be closed is searched in the graph;
[0035] When a valve fails or the link is interrupted, the area PLC recalculates the local path and pushes it to the host computer; the host computer monitoring platform recalculates the global path and immediately issues an update command.
[0036] Specifically, the shutdown path is split into instruction frames containing valve address, action sequence, and expected shutdown time; the instruction frames are sent sequentially through redundant PLCs, switches, and valves, and are also backed up to local cache.
[0037] Specifically, the shut-off path is displayed in real time on the host computer monitoring platform in the form of a dynamic topology map, and the path color is set to correspond to the risk level; after the valve action is in place, the open / close status is fed back through the proximity switch or limit switch. If the action is not in place within the time limit or the status is abnormal, the host computer monitoring platform triggers the path rollback mechanism.
[0038] The shutdown path is displayed in real time on the host computer monitoring platform in the form of a dynamic topology map, and the path color is set to correspond to the risk level.
[0039] Specifically, the host computer monitoring platform presents the status of gas areas, valves, and detectors in a planar diagram, with alarm areas flashing red and normal areas displaying green; the current execution path is marked on the topology diagram with animated arrows and risk level color bars are superimposed; after the reset button is triggered, the system restores gas supply step by step in reverse order of valves, VMB, and gas holder, while recording the reset personnel and time.
[0040] The multi-point coordinated gas emergency shutdown location method of this invention has significant advantages. First, by uniformly converting the analog and digital signals of multi-source alarm signals into digital processing codes, it effectively solves problems such as inconsistent analog / digital signal protocols, clock asynchrony, and transmission errors, greatly improving the accuracy of shutdown. The unified data frame structure and synchronized clock ensure accurate and timely transmission of alarm signals, avoiding decision-making errors caused by signal distortion or delay.
[0041] The combination of real-time collaborative analysis and a practical coefficient correction model enables the system to correlate signals from multiple devices in real time, avoiding false alarms that could lead to shutdowns or missed critical risks. Prioritization and clustering analysis based on the local hazard indices of different signals accurately identify collaborative alarm clusters and their hazard levels, generating a reasonable alarm priority queue and a set of associated device addresses. Simultaneously, the practical coefficient correction model dynamically adjusts alarm thresholds and measurement data based on environmental parameters, device health, and range changes, effectively reducing the false alarm rate.
[0042] Dynamic networking and collaborative decision-making mechanisms provide the system with strong adaptability and reliability. The ring topology and backup communication paths of the dynamic networking ensure that shutdown commands can still be transmitted normally in the event of network interruption or link failure. The collaborative decision-making mechanism comprehensively considers information from field PLCs, redundant PLCs, and the host computer server to generate a global shutdown path, which can dynamically adjust the shutdown strategy according to the actual situation, avoiding the problem that preset shutdown paths cannot adapt to complex situations.
[0043] The mechanism for generating and executing shutdown paths, along with real-time feedback, ensures the effectiveness and traceability of shutdown operations. The search and dynamic adjustment of the shortest shutdown path allows for rapid response to valve failures or link interruptions, reducing the risk of shutdown delays and failures. Real-time feedback of shutdown results and visualization on the host computer monitoring platform enable operators to understand the shutdown status promptly. Furthermore, the audit and traceability function for reset operations avoids secondary risks that may arise from manual resets.
[0044] In summary, the multi-point coordinated gas emergency shutdown positioning method of the present invention can effectively solve the problems existing in the prior art, improve the accuracy, reliability and safety of gas emergency shutdown, and provide more comprehensive safety protection for places involving flammable, explosive and toxic gases.

[0053] S1: Based on the distributed deployment of gas detectors, flame detectors, seismographs, and EMO emergency stop buttons, it collects multi-source alarm signals in real time, including gas concentration, flame signal, seismic acceleration, and manual trigger signal; and converts the analog and digital quantities of the multi-source alarm signals into digital processing codes.

[0056] S4: Records alarm history curves, device status and linkage logic of shutdown operations through the host computer monitoring platform, and provides a manual reset interface to release the shutdown state.
[0057] Specifically, the analog and digital signals of the multi-source alarm signals are uniformly converted into digital processing codes, which includes the following steps:
[0058] S101: The acquired multi-source alarm signals are encapsulated into a unified data frame that follows a predefined structure. The data frame includes: a timestamp field for identifying the signal acquisition time, a source device address field for uniquely identifying the signal source, a signal type encoding field for distinguishing signal types, and a data payload field for carrying the actual measured value.
[0059] S102: For analog signals, the standardized electrical signal is converted into a corresponding digital quantity by an analog-to-digital converter, and the digital quantity is used as the data load field; for switch signals, the on / off or open / closed state is directly mapped to a preset binary value of 1 or 0, and the binary value is used as the data load.
[0060] S103: Synchronize the local clocks of all distributed detectors, probes, seismographs and emergency stop buttons in the system based on the time protocol. The value of the timestamp field comes from the synchronized local clock.
[0061] S104: When generating a unified data frame, the receiving end automatically corrects bit errors generated during transmission using forward error correction codes without requesting retransmission. The forward error correction codes are added to a preset field of the data frame.
[0062] Specifically, the real-time collaborative analysis method is as follows:
[0063] S201: Receive and buffer unified data frames from all distributed nodes, establish a sliding time window according to the timestamp field, and construct a real-time signal matrix within the window using the source device address as an index;
[0064] S202: Based on the local danger index of each type of signal, perform priority sorting according to the real-time signal matrix, and construct a collaborative correlation graph;
[0065] S203: Cluster the collaborative association graph based on the graph segmentation algorithm to obtain collaborative alarm clusters; and calculate the danger level of each collaborative alarm cluster;
[0066] S204: Sort the alarm priority queue in descending order according to the danger level of each cluster; at the same time, extract the addresses of all nodes in the cluster to form a set of associated device addresses.
[0067] In this embodiment, the digital processing encoding is accomplished in the following way:
[0068] All 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA analog signals from gas detectors, dry contact switching signals from UVIR flame detectors, multi-segment dry contact or analog signals from seismographs, and dry contact signals from EMO emergency stop buttons are uniformly encoded using 16-bit signed integers; where:
[0069] The analog signal is linearly mapped from 0-20mA to 0-32767 through the PLC's AI module;
[0070] Switch signals are represented by 0 / 1 to indicate normal / alarm;
[0071] Multiple alarm signals are encoded in a bit field manner, with the lower 8 bits representing the alarm level (0-3) and the higher 8 bits representing the device address index.
[0072] A UTC millisecond-level timestamp is appended to the high 16 bits of each encoded word to ensure time synchronization of data packets across devices; at the same time, 2 bits of synchronization flag are reserved to identify whether the data packet has been cross-validated by the redundant PLC system.
[0073] A CRC-16 checksum is appended to the end of the encoded word, covering the timestamp, alarm level, device address, and signal value, to ensure data integrity during Ethernet transmission.
[0074] Embed a 2-bit priority field in the 12th-13th bits of the encoded word:
[0075] 00 General Alarm
[0076] 01 Gas Stage Two Alarm
[0077] 10 UVIR / Seismograph Three-Stage Alarm
[0078] 11 EMO emergency stop highest priority
[0079] Bits 0-7 are used to store the device address index, which corresponds one-to-one with the field GIS coordinates and PLC station number, supporting up to 256 distributed nodes; the address index is fixed through the field configuration table to avoid addressing conflicts caused by dynamic allocation. Bit 14 is the redundancy flag, which is set to 1 when the signal passes cross-validation by the redundant PLC; Bit 15 is the fault flag, which is set to 1 when an open circuit, short circuit, or power failure of the sensor is detected, and a fault alarm process is triggered simultaneously.
[0080] Specifically, the practical coefficient correction model includes environmental parameter calibration, equipment health correction, and dynamic range locking. The environmental parameter calibration is based on sensor data to dynamically compensate for gas concentration values. The equipment health correction adjusts the alarm threshold based on the real-time health status of the fault status and power status displayed on the detector list screen of the host computer monitoring platform, as well as the equipment's runtime and number of faults.
