Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the detection of abnormality, by judging the output value of sensors as abnormal when the difference between the value of least squares which are estimated by a specific determinant equation and the output value of the sensors is a specified value or more. CONSTITUTION:Sensors 2 are provided for the amounts of states such as flow rates and temperatures, which are present in a process 1. The outputs of the sensors are inputted in a computer 4 and control is performed. A determinant equation is constituted by coefficients and constants of physical expressions of relations, which are established between the values of the amounts of the states. Then, estimating computation for obtaining the values of the least squares is performed. When the difference between the estimated value and the measured value from each sensor 2 exceeds a reference value, the abnormal value is judged and selected. The abnormal value is outputted to an output equipment 5 and replaced by the estimated value. Then the control is continued.

BACKGROUND ART In industrial control in which various state quantities are automatically controlled by computer control in industrial processes such as production processes, the function of a sensor that detects state quantities to be controlled and sends them to a control device is important. However, the output value of the sensor may not always show the correct value due to an abnormality in the sensor itself or an error in the installation of the sensor. If computer control is performed based on such abnormal values, proper control will not be performed. Therefore, for proper control, it is necessary to detect an abnormal sensor output and perform processing such as correcting or ignoring the value.

Conventionally, the method for detecting this abnormal sensor is based on so-called majority voting, in which multiple sensors are attached to one state quantity and the value indicated by the majority of sensors is the correct value, or the state quantity can be used. A method has been adopted in which a value that must not be present is set in advance, and when the sensor shows such a value, the sensor is determined to be abnormal.

However, the method of using multiple sensors has the disadvantage of increasing costs because many sensors must be prepared, and depending on the location where one sensor is installed, it may be impossible to install multiple sensors due to the structure or area. There is also. In addition, even if multiple sensors are installed, the I'j knee sensor itself will not be able to handle measurement abnormalities caused by incorrect installation of the sensors, such as installing the sensor at a curved pipe section or a section where the cross-sectional area suddenly changes. As long as there is no abnormality, all the sensors will show the same value, so the majority vote will result in a false recognition of the correct value.

On the other hand, the method of determining a sensor abnormality when a value that cannot be taken by the state t has the disadvantage that a sensor with a slight abnormality that shows a value in a range that is not seen as an abnormality is determined to be normal.

- There exists a least squares solution, which is obtained as ×-[DTD]-1DTe. In other words, this solution has the property of giving a value that minimizes the possible difference, so when applied to a measured value, even if the value deviates abnormally from the original value, it will be compared to other normal measurements. It becomes possible to obtain the value closest to the original value from the values and the relational expressions that exist between them.
