Open and Close Command

The document discusses the commands and conditions involved in operating valves and pumps automatically or manually. It describes open and close commands for valves, as well as start and stop commands for pumps. It also outlines the permissives, limits, outputs, indications and alarms used to control and monitor the opening/closing of valves and starting/stopping of pumps. These include things like open/close limits for valves, start permissives for pumps, and failure alarms for when a valve or pump does not open, close, start or stop as commanded.

Open and close command:

The commands from the


graphic display, initiated by operator, to open and
close the valve. Note that these are always momentary.
Open and close limits: The indication from the valve
limit switches that tells the operator and the logic
when the valve is fully open or fully closed.

Open and close permissive: Process conditions that


are required before the valve can be opened or
closed.

Auto open or close: Conditions that open and close the


valve automatically while the valve is in auto mode.
Output from the logic:

Open and close outputs: The output from the logic to


the valve that strokes it open and closed.
Indications and alarms:

Auto mode: Shows that the valve is in auto mode and


will be operated automatically by the auto open and
auto close commands

Failed to open/failed to close: An alarm that shows


that the valve was given an open or close output,
but the fully open or fully closed limit was not
reached in a specified amount of time.

Mismatch: An alarm that shows that both the open and


close limit are true at the same time

Start and stop command: The commands from the


graphic display initiated by the operator to start and
stop the motor. Note that these are always momentary.

Run contact: The indication from the pump motor that


tells the logic that the pump is running.

Start permissive: A condition that is required before


the pump can be started.

Process trip: Process conditions that shut down the


pump motor (i.e., trip the pump when the tank level
is too low).

Auto start: A condition that starts a pump automatically while the pump is in auto mode (example: Auto
start the pump when another pump fails).

Auto stop: A condition that stops the pump automatically when the pump is in auto mode.

Start and stop output: The output from the logic to


the pump motor that starts and stops the motor.
Indications and alarms:

Ready: Shows that all permissives have been met and


the pump is ready to be started by the operator.

Auto mode: Shows that the pump is in auto mode and


will be operated automatically by the auto start and
auto stop commands.

Failed: An alarm that tells the operator that the pump


was given a start output, but it is not running. This
tells the operator that there is a problem with the
pump itself and indicates that either the pump did not
start when it was told to, or that it stopped after it had
been running, but it was not stopped by the logic.

Tripped: An alarm that tells the operator that the pump


was stopped by the logic via the process trip (not
by the operator or an auto stop command). This
alarm is not always included in pump logic
