  1. Sensor Actuator Manager (SAM) Controller Considerations And Specification Identification CPAC May 2005 John Mosher – Honeywell Sensing & Control

  2. SAM Controller Requirements • Automatically controls and monitors flow stream conditions (P,T,F) through sensors and actuators on the NESSI substrate • Controls a minimum of 2 Foundation Fieldbus Channels • Installs in hazardous locations (Zone 1; Class 1, Div 2) • Local & Remote Display of status • Plant level access to and control of all system data via OPC • Storage and download of configuration data • Easy programming of control functions & operation • Easy Installation • Supports integration of analyzer information (control and measurement data) • Monitors device diagnostic information • Provides diagnostics on impending faults (low flow or pressure, leak detection) • Wireless Connectivity to Local Handheld and Remote Network.

  3. SAM Offers Opportunities for Process Improvement Feature Benefit • Automatic Device Configuration • Automatic Device Addressing • Automatic Device Settings • Initiation of Cal cycles • Logging of Cal result • Early detection and analysis of flow problems • Plugging • Filter plugging • Leaks • Condensation • Automated shut down control • Initiate line purges on fault • Shut down flow to instrumentation • Automatic Device Configuration • Faster setup • Faster repair • Lower Maintenance cost • Improved process performance • Early detection and analysis of flow problems • Prevent down time losses • Reduced time to diagnose and repair • Personnel Safety • Automated shut down control • Protect equipment and instrumentation

  4. FF1 SensorActuatorManager V A P T SAM Functionality – Where Does it Live? • Three Scenarios for SAM Functional Locations Based on: • Application Environment • Control Strategy • Individual Choice At-Line Sample Point Field - Level 2 LAN (Wired or Wireless) ANLAN Wireless Handheld HMI Class 1 Div 2 Gas Analyzer Sample System NeSSI Generation 2/3 Class 1 Div 1

  5. V A P T Gas Analyzer Sample System NeSSI Generation 2/3 Class 1 Div 1 Scenario 1: Lab Environment • Hazardous Rating not required • PC in use nearby already and capable of all SAM Functionality • Analyzer may have Serial or Ethernet Connection or be PC-Based • MicroAnalytical Device may have own Controller/PC Card • Control of NeSSI best on PC • PC Card for Fieldbus • Frequent Changes to Setup uAnalytical Controller Fieldbus Gas Analyzer

  6. V A P T Scenario 2: Industrial with SAM Control • SAM is a microPC-type Controller • Control and Configuration Data Reside in SAM • Program Downloaded from PC • Reports Status and Sample System Values • Relays Data to ANLAN/DCS/Analyzer GC Wireless Handheld HMI Fieldbus SAM PROCESS CONTROL DOMAIN (DCS) Sample System NeSSI Generation 2/3 Class 1 Div 2 Class 1 Div 1

  7. V A P T Scenario 3: Industrial with FF Control • SAM is a Gateway Device Only • Sample System Programmed and Configured from the PC • Control Runs on the Foundation Fieldbus Net • SAM Reports Status and Sample System Values • SAM Relays Data to ANLAN/DCS/Analyzer GC Wireless Handheld HMI Fieldbus SAM Controller PROCESS CONTROL DOMAIN (DCS) Sample System NeSSI Generation 2/3 Class 1 Div 2 Class 1 Div 1

  8. V A P T The Future: IS uAnalytical System • SAM is a Gateway Device Only • Analytical System Programmed and Configured from the PC • Control Runs on the Foundation Fieldbus Net • SAM Reports Analysis, Status and System Values • SAM Relays Data to ANLAN/DCS Wireless Handheld HMI Fieldbus SAM Gateway uGC PROCESS CONTROL DOMAIN (DCS) Sample System NeSSI Generation 2/3 Class 1 Div 2 Class 1 Div 1
