IntroductionIntroduction The benefits of 3-D plots in data analysis and history collection of
array parameters have been demonstrated in a field trial. In this presentation we addressed:– Target applications – Analysis of high speed processes, distributed
processes and data from spectral analyzers.
– Historian modifications/design for support of arrays data.
– Web enabled 3-D plotting, how array support was used to improve update performance.
– Field Trial at University of Texas, Pickle Research Center where absorber temperatures were analyzed during startup 3-D plotting and .
The technical feasibility of providing 3-D plotting and historian collection of array data has been explore and the value of such a capability proven in two of the target application.
Analysis of High Speed Data AnalysisAnalysis of High Speed Data Analysis DeltaV supports measurement and
control execution at speed as fast as100 msec.
To enable samples as fast as 100msec to be trended and analyzed, samples may be collected at the controller as an data set/ array and communicated to the historian.
Values are saved in historian and accessed as though they had been reported at the module execution rate.
Module executing at 100msec was created to place high speed data into an array parameter. Arrays communicated at a much slower rate e.g. once per 2 sec.

Spectral AnalyzersSpectral Analyzers
Spectral analyzers may be used at critical points throughout the process.
– Pharmaceutical - inspection of feedstock, blend uniformity, granulation, drying and coating and particle size analysis. Online QA/QC tool for production.
– Chemical - acid value, adhesive content, cure, melt index, and polymer processes -reaction monitoring
– Refinery, petrochemical - fuel production monitoring
A wide variety of commercial on-line, at-line, and laboratory spectral analyzers are available.
Calibration of an NIR analyzer is based on use of spectral data to develop principal component analysis(PCA) and projection of latent structures (PLS) models.
Example: NIR AnalyzersExample: NIR Analyzers Careful development of a set of
calibration samples and their use in PCA/PLS model development is the basis for near-infrared analytical methods.
For purposes of analysis, the spectral data for a sample should be saved and accessed as one set of data e.g. an array.
3-D plotting of spectral data can be helpful in screening samples and in analyzing on-line use of spectral data.

Field Trial - DvCH Array Handling EnhancementField Trial - DvCH Array Handling Enhancement
All samples for an array are held in the database under a single tag, to enable high access speed (minimization of seek times) or logical grouping of data (e.g. spectral analysis)
Implementation caters for use of successive elements of array for different measured variables or of the same measured variable (high speed trending)
Designed also for use of 2-D array to hold several successive scans of several different measured variables

Array time tagging at Controller – high resolution, improving time-stamp accuracy
Faster sampling rates possible (scan periods down to 100ms)

Field Trial Design ConsiderationsField Trial Design Considerations Designed to allow full incorporation in DvCH product Existing facilities to be supported for each individual measured
variable in scanned array, as if configured individually for history collection
Existing read of tag for specified interval, applied to tag for first element of array, gives all samples for array within time interval in time-stamp order (including array index part) so – Samples in time order– Samples at same time in array-index order
Hence DvCH clients (e.g. PHV, DeltaV Reporter and OPC HDA) can meaningfully access history without code change. (See PHV display on previous slide).
Easy to extend client-interface for individual measured variable access etc. e.g. 3-D plotting app

Business Results AchievedBusiness Results Achieved
3-D plots and historian support of array data is being used to analyze absorber column temperature variation during startup. It is expected that insight gained through the use of 3-D plotting on-line will lead to a reduction in startup time
Analysis of high speed data associated with liquid pressure/flow loops is planned and should lead to improvements in the process operations.
SummarySummary
3-D plotting based on historian collection of array data can be used to analyze distributed process and spectral data.
Trending of high speed data is possible if data is collected at the controller in an array.
The benefits of 3-D plotting of absorber temperature and trending of high speed data will be demonstrated at the UT Pickle Research Center.
Field trial work to demonstrate 3-D plotting and historian collection of array data sets a foundation for future enhancement in DeltaV.
