  3. The value of gain is discretized! ±1: if a moderate deviation in the input variable causes moderate deviation in the output. ±10: if the output deviation is very large when compared to the input. 0: if the output deviation is very small compared with the input.

  13. Glossary • Digraph : nodes connected by edges which have direction. • Edge : the line connecting two nodes. • It indicates a relationship between the two nodes. The number next to the edge is the gain. • Conditional Edge : The relationship between two nodes depends on another event or variable. • For example, the gain between valve position and flow out of the valve is zero if the valve is stuck. The condition is “valve stuck”.

  14. Glossary • Primal node : a node on the system digraph with no inputs. • Input : an edge pointing to the node under consideration. • Local Input : variables or events one nods away from the node being considered. • Gain : change in Output / Change in Input. • Gains may have values of ±1, ±10, 0. Zero means no gain.

  15. GlossaryVariable and Event Values • These are deviations of the variables and events from their normal value. • ±10 indicates large or fast deviations which cannot be handled by normal NFBL. • ±1 is the usual deviation expected in the variable or event. • Zero means no deviation. • Some variables are univariant (can only vary in one direction from their normal value), e.g. a normally open valve cannot be further opened or a fire can only have values of 0, +1, and +10.

  16. Glossary • Feedback Loop (FBL) : A path through the nodes in a digraph which starts and terminates at one node. • Negative Feedback Loop (NFBL) : A feedback loop in which the product of the normal gains around the loop is negative. • Positive Feed Back Loop (PFBL) : The product of the gains around the FBL is positive.

  17. [ Example ] FLOW CONTROL LOOP FAULT TREE The Process is a simple feedback loop for flow control. The flow rate of stream 3 (M3) is sensed by a flow sensor connected to signal line 4. As the flow increases, the signal in line 4 increases. The flow recorder-controller upon receiving the increased signal from 4 sends a decreased signal to stream 5. This causes the valve to close returning the flow to its desired setting.

  19. Discussions with the designer and operator indicate the following events are known to occur in this process. Sensor : Fails (High , Low , Stuck), Reversed. Controller :Fails (High , Low , Stuck) , On Manual, Loss of Air (Causes Signal 5 to go down ), Reversed . Valve : Fails (Open , Closed , Stuck ), Reversed . The system is normally operating with flow in lines 1, 2, and 3 . The event that could be a hazard is “Flow in stream 3 too high (M3 (+1)) .”

  21. Development of Fault Tree “ What could cause this ? ” or “ Which nodes are inputs to the node representing the current event ? ” + “ Nothing else happens which will cancel the original effect . ” ( ON A NFBL or NFFL )

  27. A disturbance propagates through a control loop if • An external disturbance enters the system and the control loop is inactive; • The disturbance is caused by the control loop itself; or • The disturbance is extremely large in magnitude.

  28. DISTURBANCES THROUGH A NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOP + + _ + + VARIABLE DEVIATION Generally, ( +10 ) defined as that value of which causes to have at least a +1 deviation. ( NFBL cannot completely cancel disturbance.)
