INTRODUCTION Now-a-days, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems [1, 8] are not climbable due to derisory memory and processing time, offers high cost of hardware drivers and management, not malleable when a process plant hardware needs to be updated, inflexible when there is a need for protocol change and software updating, and provides data and result with long delay. Hence, Human interfaced SCADA [4, 5] and the Engineering Internet are reconnoitered towards the improvement of modules used to identify the manifestation of impairment. In this upgradation era, all renovated industries has been assured using the emerging methodology remote monitoring and automation [19] which permit a pervasive bonding between the process plant hardware (sensors, actuators, control panel, etc.), smart hybrid objects and networked implanted devices to accumulate applicable data that will be * Corresponding author: priyankabhaskaran1993@gmail.com SCADA BASED REMOTE MONITORING AND CONTROL OF PRESSURE & FLOW RATE 141 Copyright ©2019 ASSA.

(2019) communicated wireless manner to the remote information analytics center to be examined and modulated in order to construe the process and afford the appropriate decision in case of calamitous circumstances [7, 11]. This paper emphasizes a reliable monitoring and control with local intelligence using IMC- PID controller modular architecture design along with SCADA/DCS. This architecture with local intelligence using IMC-PID controller facilitates minimum human intervention will provide better workplace safety, maintenance of assets and will perform predictive maintenance of various industrial assets by analyzing various parameters (sensed data) and detecting failure modes either before they are going to take place or when the equipment will likely to fail or need service. This paper enlightens the brief information on the development of Local Intelligence using an IMC-PID controller which is present in the proposed IoT architecture. To overcome the limitations of conventional remote monitoring and control systems [2, 3, 6], the proposed design of local intelligent offers a new utility monitoring and control system can amenably put up variations made to progress the functioning efficacy using an IMC-PID controller. The IMC PID tuning rubrics have the benefit of utilizing only a solitary tuning parameter to accomplish a vibrant trade-off between the closed-loop enactment and robustness. Over the unified incorporation of self-governing practicalities in a integrated checking and control system, an complete process system can be supervised and functioned in real time from the DCS/SCADA HMI through this local intelligence incorporated with IMC-PID controller which creates conceivable based automatic activation of tuning window block with trends, substantively enlightening engineering proficiency and working safety by exploiting CENTUM CS 3000. 2. LAB SCALE EXPERIMENTAL SETUP OF FLUID TRANSPORT SYSTEM The lab scale experimental fluid transport system consists of the pumping unit, the transmitting pipes having a diameter of 1 inch about 15m long for the well-organized and extended transmission and manifold analog sensors at different distinctive locations with its corresponding control valves installed to compensate its drops/loss during the fluid transportation in the pipelines. The block diagram with local intelligence for the lab scale investigational setup envisaging the physical categorizations of apparatus positioned and also exhibits all the piping with directional tracks and equipment’s facts with their controls is shown in Figure 1. The process plant consists of two sections consisting of an electric pump, differential pressure transmitter holding a range of 03-15psi (0.1-3kg/cm2), and pressure control valve at one section along with orifice flow meter having the limit of 0-1800lph, pump and flow control valve at another section. When the process plant is on track to run, initially reservoir tank fills up to 20% of its capacity, and then the electric pump is actuated to suck the fluid from the tank in order to transmit the fluid to each section. When the fluid starts to pass through the pipelines its corresponding pressure and flow transmitter send its present pressure and flow rate data to the I/O hub module station. During transportation to regulate the pressure and flow rate of the transmitting fluid, the opening and closing of the control valves are operated by the I/P converter in order to maintain its preferred effective range limits until the destination of the long run, till it drains from the process tank as shown in Figure 2. The Local intelligence will take the role to regulate and control the process plant parameters before it reaches the state of over limit/threshold. Since this paper encompass on the development and application of local intelligence using IMC-PID controller, the designed local intelligence can remotely monitor and control the pressure and flow rate as a separate loop through DCS/SCADA HMI which can be operated as stand-alone station without depending to a central server with mutual backup configuration by regulating the operation of the corresponding control valves to reach its desired operating points of pressure and flow rate. 142 E.B.PRIYANKA, C.MAHESWARI, M.PONNIBALA, S.THANGAVEL Copyright ©2019 ASSA Adv. in Systems Science and Appl.

SYSTEM MODELING FOR PRESSURE AND FLOW CONTROL LOOP 4.1.Open loop response analysis For modeling the fluid transport system, a transient response curve is chronicled by modifying the control valve opening in order to acquire the equivalent liquid pressure and flow rate changes on the pipeline in the open loop structure. This open loop experimentation reveals pressure of the liquid is at a maximum rate and the flow is at a minimum value when the 144 E.B.PRIYANKA, C.MAHESWARI, M.PONNIBALA, S.THANGAVEL Copyright ©2019 ASSA Adv. in Systems Science and Appl. (2019) opening of the control valve is around 10% of the overall opening and vice versa when the control valve opening reaches its full stretch of 100%. Figure 4.Individual SCADA view of pressure and flow control loop The open loop test run is carried out by linearly adjusting the percentage of control valve opening. The experimental analysis call ups with the initial flow rate of 179 lph and pressure of 2.2 kg/cm2 and unremitting readings were documented until the flow rate and pressure influences a balanced/fixed state. The result divulges that for 100% control valve opening the ultimate flow rate and pressure accomplished are 1792 lph and 0.22 kg/cm2. Open loop readings were noted for the percentage of control valve opening versus flow rate and pressure through Centum CS 3000 as displayed in Figure 5 and obtained data are presented in Table 1 by which the first order model considerations (process gain Kp and process time constant P) are calculated. The evaluated model parameters for pressure and flow rate are given in Table 2. .

Hence, First Order Plus Time Delay (FOPTD) transfer function ( G(s) = Kp pS+1 𝑒−s ) model is used to exemplify the pressure and flow rate maintenance of fluid transport system, where Kp = process gain, P = time constant and  = process delay. Then, the worst case model with the leading process gain and lowest time constant is designated to epitomize the process plant model [12, 13]. The identified FOPTD model for the flow control loop in the process plant is represented as, G(s) = 0.914 8.317s+1 𝑒−5.16s (4.3) Similarly the FOPTD model for the pressure control loop is exemplified as, G(s) = 1.681 4.026s+1 𝑒−13.58s (4.4) The system model identification is arrived by formulated the real-time experimental data obtained from the fluid transport system in open loop performance analysis on process plant [16]. 5. ROBUST CONTROLLER DESIGN The PID (proportional-integral-derivative) controller serves as one of the popular and extensively applied controllers in the industrial sector due to its uncomplicatedness, robustness and affords wide applicability to near-optimal enactment. Even though innovative control techniques can deliver substantial improvements, an elegant-characterized PID controller has ascertained to be suitable for an enormous quantity of engineering control loops. A PID type controller is used to optimize the performance of the control valve in edict to regulate and uphold pressure and flow-rate of the fluids being transported in the oil pipeline system. The proportional term ensures the trade of fast-acting modification which makes necessary alteration of output as rapidly as the error ascends. The integral part proceeds after a finite time but has the proficiency to create the steady state error as zero and the derivative term can advance proficiently the control loop performance. 5.1 Ziegler-Nicholas PID (ZN-PID) controller The Ziegler-Nichols PID (ZN-PID) Controller is the utmost universally employed heuristic technique of fine-tuning a PID controller in all the engineering oriented feedback control application. The ability to predict the future errors in the process is possible in the PID SCADA BASED REMOTE MONITORING AND CONTROL OF PRESSURE & FLOW RATE 147 Copyright ©2019 ASSA. Adv. in Systems Science and Appl. (2019) controller, meanwhile, it can eliminate oscillations and can decrease the rise time in the performance [9]. Since the pressure and flow control process is the First Order based system with time delay characteristics, hence the implementation of ZN-PID controller is the benchmark of conventional techniques used for the comparative purpose. The parameters of ZN-PID controller is exposed in Table 3.

The reformed Cohen- Coon tuning procedures [9] is an outstanding scheme for attaining fast response on practically all control loops with self-adapting practices and to use on a non-interactive controller algorithm to provide a fast response on the process plant. The tuning parameters relations are given and their corresponding controller parameter of CC-PID is presented in Table 4. 𝐾𝑐 = 1 𝐾𝑝 .

(2019) 5.3. Internal Mode PID (IMC-PID) controller The efficiency of the internal model control (IMC) strategy norm [9,11] has prepared it eye-catching in the process industrial sectors, where numerous endeavors have been done to accomplish the IMC standard to develop PI/PID controllers in cooperation with stable and unstable process system. The eminent internal model control-PID (IMC-PID) tuning rules have the improvement of solitary using of single tuning constraint to succeed a clear transaction between closed-loop presentation and robustness to exemplary inexactitudes and also serve as a newfangled online controller fine-tuning technique in closed-loop approach. The direct synthesis upon disturbance (DS-d) technique proposed by Edghar and Seborg [14] can be considered into the identical class of the IMC-PID procedures, in that they achieve the PI/PID controller strictures by calculating the epitome feedback controller which contributes a predefined anticipated closed-loop retort. Even though the ultimate feedback controller upholding both the IMC and DS is habitually more problematical than the PID controller for time delayed practices, the controller arrangement can be condensed to that of either a PI or a PID based controller cascaded along with lower order filter by execution of applicable guesstimates of the dead time in process plant model. It is important to accentuate that the PI/PID controller premeditated according to the IMC procedure affords first-rate set- point tracking and consents the supervision of stable, unstable, and integrating system processes. This closed-loop fine-tuning method overwhelms the inadequacy of the renowned Ziegler Nichols unremitting cycling routine and contributes a reliably enhanced performance and forcefulness for a wide-ranging scheme of control process. 5.3.1 IMC-PI/PID controller design for fluid transport process plant Figure 6(a) and (b) show the block diagrams of the IMC control [15-17] and corresponding traditional feedback control configurations, respectively, where 𝐺𝑝 points the process, 𝐺�̃� denotes the process model, q and 𝑓𝑟indicates the IMC controller, the set-point filter, and 𝐺𝑐 corresponds to the comparable feedback controller. For the trifling case (i.e.,𝐺𝑝 =𝐺�̃�), the set- point and disturbance reactions in the IMC scheme can be streamlined as: 𝑌 = 𝐺𝑝𝑞𝑓𝑟 + (1 − 𝐺𝑝𝑞)𝐺𝑝𝑑 (5.4) Conferring to the IMC characterization (Morari and Zafiriou [10]), the process model 𝐺�̃� is sub-mani folded as factor of two parts: 𝐺�̃� = 𝑃𝑚𝑃𝐴 (5.5) where pm is the percentage of the model reversed by the controller, pA is the ration of the model not overturned by the controller and pA(0)= 1. The non-reversible part typically embraces the dead time and right side occupied half plane zeros and is elected to be all-pass. To acquire a enhanced reaction for unstable or stable processes with poles situated near zero, the IMC controller q must gratify subsequent conditions: If the process Gp possess unstable poles or poles positioned near zero at z1, z2… zm, then (i) q must ensure zeros at z1, z2, …, zm (ii) 1− Gpq would also obligate zeros at z1, z2, …, zm SCADA BASED REMOTE MONITORING AND CONTROL OF PRESSURE & FLOW RATE 149 Copyright ©2019 ASSA. Adv. in Systems Science and Appl. (2019) Fig. 6.Block diagram of the IMC and corresponding conventional feedback control systems. For a fluid transport system process the methodology is encouraged by the enactment enhancement of the disturbance rejection predominantly. The overhead design principles are obligatory for the internal steadiness of the unstable method. The supplementary profit of utilized criteria is that they support in the performance progress of the control loop systems. Meanwhile the IMC controller q is intended as 𝑞 = 𝑃𝑚 −1𝑓, the paramount condition is fulfilled inevitably. The second condition can be contented by conniving the IMC filter (f) as 𝑓 = ∑ 𝛼𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑚 𝑖=1 (𝜏𝑐𝑠+1)𝑟 (5.6) where τc is an modifiable parameter of the fluid pipeline system which reins the adjustment between the enactment and robustness; r is nominated to be great ample to sort the IMC controller (semi-)accurate; αi are evaluated by Equation (12) to abandon the poles 1 − 𝐺𝑃𝑞|𝑠=z1,z2,…,z𝑚 = |1 − 𝑃𝐴(∑ 𝛼𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑚 𝑖=1 ) (𝜏𝑐𝑠+1)𝑟 | 𝑠=z1,z2,…,z𝑚 = 0 (5.7) situated near zero around 𝐺𝑝. Then, the IMC controller emanates to be 𝑞 = 𝑝𝑚 −1(∑ 𝛼𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑚 𝑖=1 +1) (𝜏𝑐𝑠+1)𝑟 (5.8) As a result, the resultant set-point and disturbance retorts are attained as: y r = (GPq)fr = PA(∑ αisi+1m i=1 ) (τcs+1)r fr (5.9) y d = (1 − GPq)GP = (1 − PA(∑ αisim i=1 ) (τcs+1)r )GP (5.10) The numerator countenances ∑ 𝑎𝑖 𝑚 𝑖=1 𝑠𝑖 + 1 in Equation (5.9) reason to be occasionally an unwarranted overshoot in the servo response that can be eradicated by presenting the set-point 150 E.B.PRIYANKA, C.MAHESWARI, M.PONNIBALA, S.THANGAVEL Copyright ©2019 ASSA Adv. in Systems Science and Appl. (2019) filter fr to recompense for the overshoot in the servo response. As of the beyond design practice, a stable, closed-loop reaction can be reached by exhausting the IMC controller. The ultimate feedback controller that is correspondent to the IMC controller [18] can be articulated for the fluid transport system in expressions of the internal model 𝐺�̃� and the IMC controller q: GC = q 1−Gpq (5.11) Relieving Equations. (10) and (13) into (16) contributes the ideal feedback controller: GC = Pm −1∑ αisim i=1 (τcs+1)r 1− PA(∑ αisim i=1 ) (τcs+1)r (5.12) The resultant controller in Equation (5.12) is substantially realizable for the fluid process plant, but it does not possess the customary PI/PID usage. The anticipated form of the controller can be attained by actuating the guesstimate of the dead time strategy in the process plant. Meanwhile, the final derivation exploits both easiness and estimate error due to dead time mode deliberated carefully during the PI/PID controller strategy. First order plus dead time (FOPDT) form is a descriptive model normally followed in the control process industries. On the source of the above detailed strategy principle, the FOPDT process plant has been reflected as G(s) = Kp pS+1 𝑒−s (5.13) where Kp gives process gain, P and  denotes process stimulated time constant = process delay, the IMC filter nominated is f = αs+1 (𝜏𝑐𝑠+1)2 (5.14) After exploiting the above examined principle the ultimate feedback controller is specified as 𝐺𝑐 = (𝜏𝑠+1)(𝛼𝑠+1) 𝐾[(𝜏𝑐𝑠+1)2−𝑒−𝜃𝑠(𝛼𝑠+1) (5.15) Subsequently the ultimate feedback controller in Equation (5.15) does not contain PI controller term; the residual assignment is to plan the PID controller that estimates the ideal feedback controller best meticulously. The ultimate feedback controller, Gc, corresponding to the IMC controller [20], can be attained later by the calculation of the dead time allocated for the poles by Taylor series expansion, 𝑒−s =1−θs and outcomes in 𝐺𝑐 = (𝜏𝑠+1)(𝛼𝑠+1) 𝐾[(𝜏𝑐𝑠+1)2−(1−𝜃𝑠)(𝛼𝑠+1) (5.16) Subsequently reorganizing of Equation (5.16) gives 𝐺𝑐 = (𝛼𝑠+1) 𝐾(2𝜏𝑐−𝛼+𝜃)𝑠 (𝜏𝑠+1) [ (𝜏𝑐 2+𝜏𝑐𝜃) (2𝜏𝑐−𝛼+𝜃) 𝑠+1] (5.17) From Equation (5.17), the consequential PID controller can be achieved after vulgarization as Kc= 𝛼 𝐾𝑝(2i −α+) ; i=α ; d=2 (5.18) Where Kc points controller gain, Ti and d are integral time and derivative time of the model designed process [21-24]. The significance of α (non-minimum phase element) is designated so that it terminates out the pole located at s=−1/τ and the rate of α is attained as 𝛼 = 𝜏{1 − (1 − 𝜏𝑐 𝜏 )2 𝑒− 𝜃 𝜏 ; c=2θ (5.19) By implementing this tuning procedure, it is conceivable to develop the enriched disturbance rejection action by adjusting the single fine-tuning of parameter in the controller. The important feature of this controller is that it compacts with the nonlinear and stable oriented plant system in a incorporated way. The parameters of the IMC-PID controller are revealed in Table 5. SCADA BASED REMOTE MONITORING AND CONTROL OF PRESSURE & FLOW RATE 151 Copyright ©2019 ASSA. Adv. in Systems Science and Appl.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The simulation and real-time investigational work have been conceded on the flow and pressure control loop outfit to examine the performance of the ZN tuned PID, CC-PID and IMC tuned PID controllers. To contrivance the closed loop control purpose, a PID block is established in the CENTUM CS 3000 in which feedback regulating signal is programmed to pass through the control valve to form closed loop feedback structure in fluid transport process plant. 6.1.Simulation Results In the simulation work, the recitations of different controllers are equated by setting the peak of maximum uncertainty (Ms) value for comparison. It is noteworthy to ensure IAE, TV and Ms (Integral Absolute Error, Total Variation of the input, uncertainty margin value) to be lesser, but for a best characterized tuned controller causes the existence of trade-off, which indicates a declination in IAE infers an escalation in TV and Ms (and vice versa) [25, 26]. In the mean of the IMC and direct synthesis implied tuning mode τc is an changeable parameter and hence it can be altered it for the anticipated robustness (Ms) level. In the simulation work of the current paper, recitals of various controllers are associated by setting the similar Ms Value for a fair-minded comparison (i.e. Ms=1.26). The controller structure of the PID block for the fluid transportation system to monitor pressure and flow rate is developed using SIMULINK in MATLAB platform is presented in Figure 7 and 8. Fig. 7.

Performance analyses for pressure and flow control loop of process plant The performance of ZN, CC and IMC-PID controller are investigated at required setpoint ranges in order to normalize both pressure and flow rate of the fluid being transmitted. The closed-loop simulated transient responses for pressure and flow rates at the operational choice of 500 lph and 3Kg/Cm2 for the time interval of t = 0–50 s are unveiled on Figures 9a and 9b. From the Figures 9a and 9b, it is clear that the IMC-PID controller is enforced to trail the fixed operating point of pressure and flow rate at short duration of time of about 17 seconds and 15.5 seconds and maintain the steady state with overshoot as compared to ZN-PID and CC-PID control techniques which settle at about 34 seconds and 26.5 seconds for flow rate and 38.59 seconds and 47.987 seconds for pressure respectively. It confirms that IMC-PID controller offers 16.72% of improved quality indices on comparing with ZN tuned PID and CC-PID controllers. The presence of overshoot in the IMC-PID controller performance ensures high rise time with quickly settling on its desired set point in order to improve the experimented operating condition of the fluid transport system.

Performance analyses of ZN tuned PID, CC tuned PID, and IMC tuned PID controllers for pressure control loop at a set point of 3Kg/Cm2. 6.1.2.Setpoint tracking for pressure and flow control loop Closed loop simulated transient responses attained at different operating points such as 0.7 and 1.6 Kg/Cm2 for pressure and 900 and 1400 lph for the flow rate to confirm the robustness of the IMC-PID controller are shown in Figure 10 and 11. The Table 6 and Table 7 reveal that the performance of IMC-PID on comparing with ZN tuned PID and CC tuned PID controllers affords superior performance with the similar settings for altered operating points. Among the controller tuning rules, IMC-PID sustains the trepidations in the model parameters and pay for the extreme reliable and robust response when the operating point diverges. Figure 10 and 11 also ensures that IMC-PID controller endows least possible error indices of 20.94% as compared with ZN tuned PID and CC-PID controllers.

Disturbance rejection test for pressure and flow control loop The disturbance rejection performance is investigated at the operating point of pressure at 2.1Kg/Cm2 and flow rate at 1300 lph. A step disturbance is introduced into the process by way of increasing the pressure to 3Kg/Cm2 and flow rate to 1600 lph after the time period of 100 and 150 seconds as shown in Figure 12a and 12b. As of the analysis result endorses the merit by pointing only IMC-PID controller damp the disturbance in a smaller time period of 13 seconds with less undershoot of 11.33% as compared to the CC-PID and ZN-PID PID controllers on pressure control loop.

The control drawing for the process plant architecture is developed by creating two separate control loop blocks of PID controller for pressure and flow rate as shown in Figure 13. The resultant tuning values of PID controller using IMC technique which is confirmed through simulation is put on to the established local intelligence tune window using CENTUM CS 3000 R4 as shown in Figure 14. Through this control drawing builder option, hardware configuration gets synchronized with the flexibility of software customized application to the process plant in order to provide monitoring and control capabilities through online at a remote location from the process plant. The process plant is starting to run by enabling the auto mode initiated by the local intelligence, when the fixed operating point for flow rate and its pressure is given in the corresponding monitoring particular field parameters faceplate present in the SCADA front end panel of the fluid transport system. After fixing the required operating range, the pump will be on track to run which is enabled by an operator remotely. The real-time successive data of both pressure and flow rate parameters of the fluid being transported is displayed continuously in Local intelligence trend view window in PIC100.PV/ FIC100.PV tag tab which is present below the trend graph and these data can be exported to excel by exhausting local utility data box option. 158 E.B.PRIYANKA, C.MAHESWARI, M.PONNIBALA, S.THANGAVEL Copyright ©2019 ASSA Adv. in Systems Science and Appl.

Fig. 16.Real-time monitoring and control of Flow rate through Local Intelligence using an IMC-PID controller. Figure 15 and 16 reveals the performance of Local intelligence using an IMC-PID controller on remote surveillance and control of flow rate and its pressure on the implemented process plant. The setpoint of pressure and flow rate is given as 0.99Kg/Cm2 and 1200 lph respectively. Based on the operating set point, the developed IMC-PID controller running on the back end of the Local intelligence SCADA adjusts the feedback signal going from the remote master control panel to the I/P converter incorporated with corresponding pressure control valve and flow control valve to regulate its opening and closing installed on the process plant control loops. The real-time experimentation discloses that when the percentage of control valve opening gets increased, the field parameters as like pressure and flow rate of the fluids passing through the pipelines get decreases and increases consistently. The developed Local Intelligence using 160 E.B.PRIYANKA, C.MAHESWARI, M.PONNIBALA, S.THANGAVEL Copyright ©2019 ASSA Adv. in Systems Science and Appl. (2019) IMC-PID controllers authorizes the enriched performance meanwhile it has the capability to trajectory of errors occurrences through online by making real-time process plant information easily accessible through the online applications by its connectivity and interoperability. 7.
