It specifically criticized a major domestic manufacturer of pressure transmitters, Chongqing Wei’an

What big brand? They’re good at boasting. Recently, I was working on a project where the client wanted high-quality transmitters, saying that those from a certain company in Chongqing were good. I agreed and said I would use products from that manufacturer, but things went wrong in the end. The customer uses it for internal generator sets; it operates under vacuum conditions. As a result, the transmitter value keeps changing between -58 kPa and -10 kPa – it stays at -58 kPa for a few days before returning to -10 kPa. -10 kPa is the correct value, while -58 kPa is incorrect. The customer said it was a close call; if the value dropped below -60 kPa, it would trigger a chain reaction and cause the entire generator set to stop operating, in which case the responsibility would be enormous. I was so angry. I called the company in Chongqing, and they admitted that the problem might be related to an issue with the product itself. Damn it, what could be done? The only option was to send it back for repair. But the transmitter in question cannot be removed; it has to stay there for a year before it can be replaced. In other words, everyone will have to live in fear throughout that year, worried about potential downtime. Today there was a meeting with clients, and all the group leaders were present; I gave a review of the supplier at the meeting. I’m so angry! ! !

I would like to ask now: are there any ways to replace the transmitter online, without having to stop the power supply or simply cut off the power to carry out the replacement?

Simulate it with a signal generator, and then replace it directly with a new one.

The transmitters made by this company were quite good before 2010, but after that their performance declined significantly; they are not recommended for use, especially in critical applications like turbines. If you want to replace them, you will have to disable the interlocks first before making the replacement. Since the condensing section of a turbine operates under vacuum conditions, it is recommended to use vacuum-specific transmitters from brands such as EJA, Rosemount, Siemens, and Chuanyi PDS!

Can’t the interlock control system disable interlocks and manual settings?

How to do it? The transmitter is still connected to the system; should I replace the signal generator without disconnecting the wires?

There is a signal forcing function on the DCS, so it should be possible to achieve this

1. Hehehe. 2. The instrument is broken; can’t it be replaced? It’s amazing; I still can’t understand how a space shuttle can have its wings replaced. Leaders can even have their hearts and livers replaced, or even be submerged in water. . . {:3_51:}

I’ve never heard of this brand. Besides, it was the users who asked to use theirs; why should you have to write a self-criticism?

Why can’t it be replaced? Why do you have to write a self-criticism?
