SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING CONTROL PERFORMANCE OF A BUILDING AUTOMATION DEVICE
20230052163 · 2023-02-16 ·

There is described a system and method for managing control performance of a field device receiving variable data. Variable and setpoint references corresponding to a control loop of the field device are identified. A time delay normal period based on expected oscillations of the variable reference and first settling thresholds associated with the setpoint reference are also identified. An offnormal timestamp is generated based on the variable reference relative to one or more second settling thresholds associated with the setpoint reference. A normal timestamp is generated based on the variable reference relative to the first settling thresholds. A settling time of the control performance is determined based on the normal timestamp, the offnormal timestamp, and the time delay normal period. One or more performance features of the field device are modified based on the determined settling time.

There is described a system and method for managing control performance of a field device receiving variable data. Variable and setpoint references corresponding to a control loop of the field device are identified. A time delay normal period based on expected oscillations of the variable reference and settling limits associated with the setpoint reference are also identified. An offnormal timestamp is generated based on the variable reference relative to one or more second pre-settling limits associated with the setpoint reference. A normal timestamp is generated based on the variable reference relative to the settling limits. A settling time of the control performance is determined based on the normal timestamp, the offnormal timestamp, and the time delay normal period. One or more performance features of the field device are modified based on the determined settling time.

Machine and load regulation based on power system signal sensing

A rotating equipment system with in-line drive-sense circuit (DSC) electric power signal processing includes rotating equipment, in-line drive-sense circuits (DSCs), and one or more processing modules. The in-line DSCs receive input electrical power signals and generate motor drive signals for the rotating equipment. An in-line DSC receives an input electrical power signal, processes it to generate and output a motor drive signal to the rotating equipment via a single line and simultaneously senses the motor drive signal via the single line. Based on the sensing of the motor drive signal via the single line, the in-line DSC provides a digital signal to the one or more processing modules that receive and process the digital signal to determine information regarding one or more operational conditions of the rotating equipment, and based thereon, selectively facilitate one or more adaptation operations on the motor drive signal via the in-line DSC.
