The Pressure / Flow Monitoring (pressmon) record’s pressure information governs how the telemetry data for this pressure sample is used to check for deviations. The table below describes the pressure information appearing on the Pressure Monitor Control window.

Field

Description

Name

The name of the pressure analog records. Up to three records may be used.

Readings

The pressure reading from the configured pressure point.

Deviation

Deadbands (+DB1, -DB1, +DB2, -DB2, +DB3, -DB3)

The pressure sample is checked against the predicted pressure. If the former is not within the tolerances defined as deadband 1 (+DB1, -DB1), then the checking algorithm proceeds to check it against deadband 2 (+DB2, -DB2) on the next pass of the Pressmon application. If either DB1 or DB2 have been exceeded, and the 3rd pressure has been enabled, DB3 will also be checked. If this deadband check is also violated, AVEVA Enterprise SCADA issues a pressure deviation alarm and event.

The positive deadband values (+DB1, +DB2, +DB3) are used for checking increases in pressure. The negative deadband values (-DB1, -DB2, -DB3) are used for checking decreases in pressure.

Pressure Points

Defines the analog point for which pressure / flow information is being collected.

Pressure Alarm State

This field shows the current pressure condition of the pressmon record. There are three possible states:

  • Normal (point is not in violation of any deadbands).

  • DB1 (point is in violation of first deadband).

  • Alarm (point is in violation of second deadband).

Pressure Active

This field indicates whether the record is being processed.
