6.0 Advanced Pressure Diagnostics for FOUNDATION
Fieldbus
6.1 Overview
The Rosemount 3051S FOUNDATION Fieldbus Pressure Transmitter with Advanced Diagnostics Suite is an
extension of the Rosemount 3051S Scalable™Pressure Transmitter and takes full advantage of the
architecture. The Rosemount 3051S SuperModule™Platform generates the pressure measurement. The
FOUNDATION Fieldbus Feature Board is mounted in the Plantweb™housing and plugs into the top of the
SuperModule. The Advanced Diagnostics Suite is an order option on the FOUNDATION Fieldbus feature
board, and designated by the option code “D01” in the model number.
The Advanced Diagnostics Suite has two distinct diagnostic functions, Statistical Process Monitoring
(SPM) and Plugged Impulse Line Detection (PIL), which can be used separately or in conjunction with
each other to detect and alert users to conditions that were previously undetectable, or provide powerful
troubleshooting tools. Figure 2 illustrates an overview of these two functions within the Fieldbus
Advanced Diagnostics Transducer Block.
Figure 2. Advanced Diagnostics Transducer Block Overview
6.2 SPM
The Advanced Diagnostics Suite features SPM technology to detect changes in the process, process
equipment or installation conditions of the transmitter. This is done by modeling the process noise
signature (using the statistical values of mean and standard deviation) under normal conditions and then
comparing the baseline values to current values over time. If a significant change in the current values is
detected, the transmitter can generate an alert. The SPM performs its statistical processing on the
pressure measurement of the field device. The statistical values are also available as secondary variables
from the transmitter via AI Function Blocks if a user is interested in their own analysis or generating their
own alarms.
6.3 PIL diagnostics
The Advanced Diagnostics Suite also implements a plugged impulse line detection algorithm. PIL
leverages SPM technology and adds some additional features that apply SPM to directly detect plugging
in pressure measurement impulse lines. In addition to detecting a change in the process noise signature,
the PIL also provides the ability to automatically relearn new baseline values if the process condition
changes. When PIL detects a plug, a “Plugged Impulse Line Detected” Plantweb alert is generated.
Optionally, the user can configure the PIL to, when a plugged impulse line is detected, change the

pressure measurement status quality to “Uncertain” to alert an operator that the pressure reading may
not be reliable.
Important
Running the Advanced Diagnostics Block could affect other block execution times. We recommend the
device be configured as a basic device versus a Link Master device if this is a concern.
6.4 SPM technology
SPM is a unique technology developed by Emerson that provides a means for early detection of abnormal
situations in a process environment. The technology is based on the premise that virtually all dynamic
processes have a unique noise or variation signature when operating normally. Changes in these
signatures may signal that a significant change will occur or has occurred in the process, process
equipment, or transmitter installation. For example, the noise source may be equipment in the process
such as a pump or agitator, the natural variation in the DP value caused by turbulent flow, or a
combination of both.
The sensing of the unique signature begins with the combination of a high speed sensing device, such as
the Rosemount 3051S Pressure Transmitter, with software resident in a FOUNDATION Fieldbus Feature
Board to compute statistical parameters that characterize and quantify the noise or variation. These
statistical parameters are the mean and standard deviation of the input pressure. Filtering capability is
provided to separate slow changes in the process due to setpoint changes from the process noise or
variation of interest. Figure 3 shows an example of how the standard deviation value () is affected by
changes in noise level while the mean or average value () remains constant. The calculation of the
statistical parameters within the device is accomplished on a parallel software path to the path used to
filter and compute the primary output signal the pressure measurement used for control and
operations). The primary output is not affected in any way by this additional capability.

Rosemount 3051S Series Pressure Transmitter

Rosemount 3051S Series Pressure Transmitter
The device can provide the statistical information to the user in two ways. First, the statistical
parameters can be made available to the host system directly via FOUNDATION Fieldbus communication
protocol or FOUNDATION Fieldbus to other protocol converters. Once available, the system may make use
of these statistical parameters to indicate or detect a change in process conditions. In the simplest
example, the statistical values may be stored in the DCS historian. If a process upset or equipment
problem occurs, these values can be examined to determine if changes in the values foreshadowed or
indicated the process upset. The statistical values can then be made available to the operator directly, or
made available to alarm or alert software.
Additionally, the device has internal software that can be used to baseline the process noise or signature
via a learning process. Once the learning process is completed, the device itself can detect significant
changes in the noise or variation, and communicate an alarm via Plantweb alert. Typical applications are
change in fluid composition or equipment related problems.
6.5 SPM functionality
A block diagram of the SPM diagnostic is shown in Figure 4. The process variable (the measured
pressure) is input to a Statistical Calculations Module where basic high pass filtering is performed on the
pressure signal. The mean (or average) is calculated on the unfiltered pressure signal, the standard
deviation calculated from the filtered pressure signal. These statistical values are available via handheld
communication devices like the field communicator, asset management software, or distributed control
systems with FOUNDATION Fieldbus.
Figure 4. Rosemount 3051S FF Statistical Process Monitoring
SPM also contains a learning module that establishes the baseline values for the process. Baseline values
are established under user control at conditions considered normal for the process and installation.
These baseline values are made available to a decision module that compares the baseline values to the
most current values of the mean and standard deviation. Based on sensitivity settings and actions
selected by the user via the control input, the diagnostic generates a device alert when a significant
change is detected in either mean or standard deviation.

Figure 5. Statistical Process Monitoring Flow
Further detail of the operation of the SPM diagnostic is shown in the Figure 5 flowchart. This is a
simplified version showing operation using the default values. After configuration, SPM calculates mean
and standard deviation, used in both the learning and the monitoring modes. Once enabled, SPM enters
the learning/verification mode. The baseline mean and standard deviation are calculated over a period of
time controlled by the user (SPM Monitoring Cycle; default is 5 minutes). The status will be “Learning”. A
second set of values is calculated and compared to the original set to verify that the measured process is
stable and repeatable. During this period, the status will change to “Verifying”. If the process is stable,
the diagnostic will use the last set of values as baseline values and move to “Monitoring” status. If the
process is unstable, the diagnostic will continue to verify until stability is achieved.
In the “Monitoring” mode, new mean and standard deviation values are continuously calculated, with
new values available every few seconds. The mean value is compared to the baseline mean value, and the
standard deviation is compared to the baseline standard deviation value. If either the mean or the
standard deviation has changed more than user-defined sensitivity settings, an alert is generated via
FOUNDATION Fieldbus. The alert may indicate a change in the process, equipment, or transmitter
installation.
Note
The SPM diagnostic capability in the Rosemount 3051S FOUNDATION Fieldbus Pressure Transmitter
calculates and detects significant changes in statistical parameters derived from the input pressure.
These statistical parameters relate to the variability of and the noise signals present in the pressure
measurement. It is difficult to predict specifically which noise sources may be present in a given
measurement or control application, the specific influence of those noise sources on the statistical
parameters, and the expected changes in the noise sources at any time. Therefore, Emerson cannot
absolutely warrant or guarantee that SPM will accurately detect each specific condition under all
circumstances.

6.6 SPM configuration and operation
The following section describes the process of configuring and using the SPM diagnostic.
(optional) SPM_MONITORING_CYCLE = [1 – 1440] minutes (see “Other SPM settings” on page 14)
(optional) SPM_BYPASS_VERIFICATION = [Yes/No] (see page 14)
Apply all of these above changes to the device. Finally, set
SPM_ACTIVE = Enabled
After SPM is enabled and SPM_USER_COMMAND is set to Learn, it will spend the first five (or whatever
the SPM_MONITORING_CYCLE is set to) minutes in the learning phase, and then another five minutes in
the verification phase. If a steady process is detected at the end of the verification phase, the SPM will
move into the monitoring phase. After 5 minutes in the monitoring phase, SPM will have the current
statistical values (e.g. current mean and standard deviation), and will begin comparing them against the
baseline values to determine if an SPM Alert is detected.
6.7 Other SPM settings
Additional information on other SPM settings is shown below:
SPM_BYPASS_VERIFICATION
If this is set to “Yes”, SPM will skip the verification process, and the first mean and standard deviation
from the learning phase will be taken as the baseline mean and standard deviation. By skipping the
verification, the SPM can move into the monitoring phase more quickly. This parameter should only be
set to “Yes” if you are certain that the process is at a steady-state at the time you start the Learning. The
default (and recommended) setting is “No”.
SPM_MONITORING_CYCLE
This is the length of the sample window over which mean and standard deviation are computed. A
shorter sample window means that the statistical values will respond faster when there are process
changes, but there is also a greater chance of generating false detections. A longer sample window
means that mean and standard deviation will take longer to respond when there is a process change. The
default value is 5 minutes. For most applications, a Monitoring Cycle ranging from 1 to 10 minutes is
appropriate. The allowable range is 1 to 1440 minutes.
Figure 6 illustrates the effect of the SPM Monitoring Cycle on the Statistical Calculations. Notice how with
a shorter sampling window there is more variation (e.g. the plot looks noisier) in the trend. With the
longer sampling window the trend looks smoother because the SPM uses process data averaged over a
longer period of time.

“Detect” may be selected to return to the monitoring phase.
SPM_ACTIVE
The SPM_ACTIVE parameter starts the Statistical Process Monitoring when “Enabled”. “Disabled”
(default) turns the diagnostic monitoring off. Must be set to “Disabled” for configuration. Only set to
“Enabled” after fully configuring the SPM.
Enabling SPM applies a high-pass filter to the pressure measurement prior to calculating standard
deviation. This removes the effect of slow or gradual process changes from the standard deviation
calculation while preserving the higher-frequency process fluctuations. Using the high-pass filter
reduces the likelihood of generating a false detection if there is a normal process or setpoint change.
6.8 Alert configuration
To have SPM generate a Plantweb alert, the alert limits must be configured on the mean and/or standard
deviation. The three alert limits available are:
SPM_MEAN_LIM
Upper and lower limits for detecting a Mean Change
SPM_HIGH_VARIATION_LIM
Upper limit on standard deviation for detecting a High Variation condition
SPM_LOW_DYNAMICS_LIM
Lower limit on standard deviation for detecting a Low Dynamics condition (must be specified as a
negative number)
All limits are specified as a percent change in the statistical value from its baseline. If a limit is set to 0 (the
default setting) then the corresponding diagnostic is disabled. For example, if SPM_HIGH_VARIA-
TION_LIMIT is 0, then SPM does not detect an increase in standard deviation.

Figure 7 illustrates an example of the standard deviation, with its baseline value and alert limits. During
the monitoring phase, the SPM will continuously evaluate the standard deviation and compare it against
the baseline value. An alert will be detected if the standard deviation either goes above the upper alert
limit, or below the lower alert limit.
In general, a higher value in any of these limits leads to the SPM diagnostic being less sensitive, because a
greater change in mean or standard deviation is needed to exceed the limit. A lower value makes the
diagnostic more sensitive, and could potentially lead to false detections.

SPM_STATUS
Current state of the SPM diagnostic. Possible values for SPM status are as shown in Table 10.
In most cases, only one of the above SPM status bits will be active at one time. However, it is possible for
“Mean Change Detected” to be active at the same time as either “High Variation Detected” or “Low
Dynamics Detected” is active.
6.10 Plantweb alert
When any of the SPM detections (Mean Change, High Variation, or Low Dynamics) is active, a Fieldbus
Plantweb alert in the device “Statistical Process Monitor Trip” will be generated and sent to the host
system.
6.11 Trending statistical values in control system
SPM mean and standard deviation values may be viewed and/or trended in a Fieldbus host system
through the AI function blocks.
An AI Block may be used to read either the mean or the standard deviation from the ADB Block. To use
the AI Block to trend SPM data, set the CHANNEL parameter to one of the values in Table 11:
The SPM Mean and Standard Deviation display units can be changed in the AI function blocks.

Inactive User Command in “Idle”, SPM not Enabled, or the function block is not scheduled.
Learning Learning has been set in the User Command, and the initial baseline values are being
calculated.
Verifying Current baseline values and previous baseline values are being compared to verify the
process is stable.
Monitoring Monitoring the process and no detections are currently active.
Mean Change
Detected Alert resulting from the Mean Change exceeding the Threshold Mean Limit. Can be caused by a set point change, a load change in the flow, or an obstruction or the
removal of an obstruction in the process.
High Variation
Detected Alert resulting from the Stdev Change exceeding the Threshold High Variation value. This is an indicator of increased dynamics in the process, and could be caused by
increased liquid or gas in the flow, control or rotational problems, or unstable pressure
fluctuations.
Low Dynamics
Detected Alert resulting from the Stdev Change exceeding the Threshold Low Dynamics value. This is an indicator for a lower flow, or other change resulting in less turbulence in the
flow.

6.12 SPM configuration with EDDL
For host systems that support Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL), using SPM is made easier
with step-by-step configuration guidance and graphical displays. This section of the manual uses AMS
Device Manager version 10.5 for illustrations, although other EDDL hosts could be used as well.
The SPM Configuration Wizard can be launched by selecting Statistical Process Monitoring from the
Configure > Guided Setup page.
This wizard will take you step-by-step through the parameters needed to configure SPM.
6.13 EDDL trending of mean and standard deviation
Once the SPM has been enabled, the EDDL user interface allows for easy viewing and trending of mean
and standard deviation. To open up the trending screen, select Service Tools > Trends > Statistical
Process Monitoring.
The EDDL Screen will show an online trend of mean and standard deviation, along with the baseline
values, percent change, and detection limits (Figure 8).
Figure 8. EDDL Trend of Mean and Standard Deviation
Note that data shown on the EDDL trends are not stored in a process historian or other database. When
this screen is closed, all past data in the trends plots are lost. See “Trending SPM data in DeltaV” on
page 18 for configuring SPM data to be stored in a historian.
6.14 Trending SPM data in DeltaV
Refer to “Trending statistical values in control system” on page 17 for general information about
accessing the SPM data through the AI function blocks. This section shows a specific example of how
SPM data can be accessed within the DeltaV host system, saved into the process historian, and used to
generate a process alert.
1. In DeltaV Control Studio, add an AI function block.
2. Assign the new block to one of the AI function blocks in the Rosemount 3051S Device.
3. Set the CHANNEL to one of the valid SPM channel values from Table 11 on page 17 (e.g. set the
CHANNEL to 13 for Standard Deviation, as shown in Figure 9).

Figure 9. Example AI Function Block for Trending Standard Deviation in DeltaV
Set the units and scaling for the function block as desired:
XD_SCALE = 0 to 1 in H2O (68 °F)
OUT_SCALE = 0 to 1 in H2O (68 °F)
L_TYPE = Indirect
Note that the range set in the OUT_SCALE parameter will be the range shown by default when the
variable is trended in the DeltaV Process History View. Standard deviation typically has a range much
narrower than the process measurement, so the scaling should be set accordingly. Also note that the
units for XD_SCALE must be set to in H2O (68 °F), but the units for OUT_SCALE can be set to any desired
engineering unit.
If the standard deviation is to be logged to DeltaV Continuous Historian, the appropriate parameter
must be added to the historian. Right click on the OUT parameter of the AI Block, and select Add History
Recorder … (Figure 10).
Figure 10. Adding History Recorder from DeltaV Control Studio
Follow through the Add History Collection dialog (Figure 11), to add the parameter to the DeltaV Historian
with the desired sampling period, compression, etc. By default the sampling period is 60 seconds, as
shown in Figure 11. However, there are many diagnostics applications where one may want to look at
changes in the standard deviation much faster than this. In that case, you will want to set the sampling
period to a shorter duration.

When adding a standard deviation for history collection in DeltaV, it is recommended that you not use
the default data compression settings. By default, the DeltaV Historian will log a new data point only
when the process value deviates by 0.01 or more. There are many diagnostics applications where it is
useful to look at changes in the standard deviation that are smaller than this. Therefore, it is
recommended that when logging the standard deviation, either the Data Compression should be
disabled (by unchecking the appropriate box) or the Deviation (EU) should be set to a much lower value,
for example, 0.001 or 0.0001.
Figure 11. DeltaV Add History Collection
Refer to the DeltaV books online for more details on the DeltaV Continuous Historian.
After the SPM value has been saved to the historian, when the DeltaV Process History View is opened for
the selected parameter, the graph will be populated with the historical data currently in the database
(Figure 12).
Figure 12. Trend of Standard Deviation in DeltaV Process History View
Finally, when the SPM data is trended in DeltaV, it is possible to configure HI and/or LO alarms on the
mean or standard deviation via the AI Block. This can be done by right clicking on the AI Function Block in
Control Studio, and selecting Assign Alarm. The Block Alarm configuration window will let you set up
desired alarm limits. Refer to the DeltaV books online for detailed information on configuring alarms.
