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.

• 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

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

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

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
