Industrial
applications have evolved over the years with an ever-increasing need for
optimal performance and as little down time as possible. To maintain integrity,
stability, safety and fault finding with tolerant schemes were introduced to
many industrial productions and instrumentation techniques. This work designs a
fault diagnostic and tolerant (FDT) scheme; faults were diagnosed based on
deviation from the normal working mode of primary components and automatically
disengaged the system from supply voltage with alerting information for
immediately action. The FDT was incorporated into an existing
Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control scheme. The FDT was also
equipped with a remote monitoring system using Short Messaging Service (SMS)
using a Sim800 to alert a remote system custodian on the occurrence of a fault
and appropriate unit with components that is faulty. The fault diagnosis and
tolerant control system with remote monitoring was then applied to a prototype
acid gas removal system with a set point of 40oC with 38oC
to 42oC. The FDT was able to maintain the control objective when
faults occurred and the SMS messaging initiated when faults were simulated on
Proteus.
