1.2 Product Overview

The LineGuard Electronic Linebreak Detection System is a self-contained
pipeline monitoring and line break detection device. The device is
intended to be installed at a pipeline valve site and is designated to provide
data acquisition and supervisory control (both locally and remotely) of a
single valve actuator.
The LineGuard product consists of standard FloBoss 107 Flow Manager
hardware and firmware while a user program provides the LineGuard
functionality. The program is responsible for pressure monitoring, data
logging and valve control. Custom user-defined displays are available for
configuring and monitoring the operation of the program.

LineGuard 2300 Program User Manual

1.2.1 Basic Program Operation

This section provides a brief description of the operation of the LineGuard
user program. The user program monitors pipeline pressure, calculates the
Rate of Pressure Drop (RoD), maintains minor and major logs, and
performs valve control.
Pipeline Pressure The static pipeline pressure is sampled every 5 seconds and stored as Live
Monitoring Pressure. This value is averaged over a configurable period of time called
the Average Sample Period and is stored as Average Pressure. The
Average Sample Period is user-configurable from 5 seconds to 60 seconds
in 5 second intervals. The default Average Sample Period is 60 seconds (or
12 samples). The Average Pressure is averaged over a moving time
window and the time window is defined by the Average Sample Period.
The Average Pressure is updated every 5 seconds. The Average Pressure is
used to detect Major and Minor line-break conditions. The Average
Pressure is archived in both Major and Minor data logs.
Rate of Drop (RoD) The LineGuard device is capable of reacting to a drop in pipeline pressure.
Pressure Calculation The current Rate of Pressure Drop (RoD) is calculated as the change in
average pressure over the last minute and is available every sample cycle
(5 seconds) in units of pressure/minutes. The current RoD is rolled over to
an Average RoD based on the Average Sample Period. The Average
Sample Period for RoD calculations is equal to the sample period used in
calculating average pressure. The Average RoD is used to detect Major and
Minor line-break conditions. The Average RoD is archived in both Major
and Minor data logs.
Data Logging Four logs are maintained in the LineGuard program: Minor Data Logs,
Major Data Logs, Event Logs, and Alarm Logs.
Minor Data Logs A Minor Log is initiated when a minor alarm is enabled and becomes
active. Alarm conditions include when the Average Pressure is less than
the Minor Low pressure SetPoint, Average Pressure greater than the Minor
High SetPoint, and Average RoD greater than the Minor RoD SetPoint.
Each Minor Log setpoint and alarm is user configurable.
A complete minor log consists of a beginning time stamp (MM/DD/YY
HH:MM:SS), 60 average pressure values and 60 average RoD values.
Values are stored in the log at a user configurable Minor Log Period. Valid
log periods for a minor log include 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3
minutes, 4 minutes, and 5 minutes. At each log period the current Average
Pressure and Average RoD is written to the minor log.
A Minor Log archives 60 (complete log) values for Average Pressure and
Average RoD values regardless of whether the initiating alarm condition
persists. A log is archived to memory once the log is complete. Another
Minor Log is initiated if the minor log alarm condition remains active.
A total of 100 Minor Logs can be stored in the unit. Minor Logs are
circular logs with the earliest log overwritten with the newest log once all
100 logs are full. Minor log data archival will also stop 50 logs (60 values

 LineGuard 2300 Program User Manual

each) after a major log alarm condition becomes active and will not resume
until after the user has manually cleared the major log alarm state.
Major Data Logs A Major Log is initiated when a major alarm becomes active, the alarm is
enabled and the event duration period has been satisfied. Alarm conditions
include Average Pressure less than the Major Low SetPoint, Average
Pressure greater than Major High SetPoint, and Average RoD greater than
Major RoD SetPoint. Major Log SetPoints, alarms, and event durations are
user configurable.
A complete Major Log consists of a time stamp (MM/DD/YY
HH:MM:SS), thirty Average Pressure values, and thirty Average RoD
values prior to the major alarm becoming active and thirty Average
Pressure values and thirty Average RoD values after the major alarm
became active. The time stamp indicates the actual time of the line break.
Only one major log is saved in the LineGuard unit. A major log will be
retained and not overwritten until you manually clear the major alarm state
by pressing Clear Logs on the LineGuard Status screen. Values are stored
in the log at a user configurable major log period. Valid log periods for a
major log include 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, and 30 seconds. The
current Average Pressure and Average RoD is written to the major log at
each log period.
Event Logs Event Logs are triggered by changes in SetPoints or parameters that affect
program operation. The event Log function is performed by the standard
FloBoss firmware. Event Log entries include conditions such as remote and
local commands to change valve position, change SetPoints, and change in
parameters that affect any aspect of the LineGuard operation. Event data
may be used to establish a history of LineGuard status and pipeline valve
activity. The event log allows for a maximum of 240 records and
overwrites old data as new events occur.
Alarm Logs Alarm Logs are triggered by exceeding operating limits and SetPoints. The
alarm log function is performed by the standard FloBoss firmware. The
alarm log collects and stores data not directly related to operator change
requests. Alarm entries include battery low voltage condition and any other
input point high and low condition. The alarm log can store up to 240
alarms and overwrites old entries as new alarms are encountered.
An alarm entry is also created when a Minor or Major Alarm becomes
active, a Minor or Major Alarm becomes inactive, and when automatic
valve closure is initiated and a transmitter fail condition becomes active or
clears. The following user text type alarm is created by the calculation
program.

Alarm Entry Description

Auto Close Init Indicates the time at which automatic valve closure was
initiated.
Major Low Indicates the value and time at which the major low alarm
became active or inactive.

Rev Nov-12 3
LineGuard 2300 Program User Manual

Major RoD Indicates the value and time at which the major RoD alarm
became active or inactive.
Major High Indicates the value and time at which the major high alarm
became active or inactive.
Minor Low Indicates the value and time at which the minor low alarm
became active or inactive.
Minor RoD Indicates the value and time at which the minor RoD alarm
became active or inactive
Minor High Indicates the value and time at which the minor high alarm
became active or inactive.
Trans Low Indicates the value and time at which the pressure value
reported from the transmitter dropped below the low limit.
Trans High Indicates the value and time at which the pressure value
reported from the transmitter rose above the high limit.
Trans OK Indicates the value and time at which the pressure value
reported from the transmitter are within alarm limits.

Shutdown Control The LineGuard program is responsible for automatic valve closure upon
the detection of a major line break.
Line Break Detection The Average Pressure and Average RoD are used to detect line-break
conditions every sample cycle (5 seconds). Valve closure is activated when
the four following conditions are met: a major log alarm becomes active, it
remains active for the configured Event Duration, auto-closure is enabled
for the event, and the Close Output field is defined. The major log will
continue to record data until it becomes full. The Event Duration can be
configured from 0 seconds to 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
If the Average Pressure or Average RoD returns to an allowable level
during the Event Duration period, then valve closure is not initiated and
normal pressure monitoring resumes.
Once a line-break situation has been detected, valve closure is completed, a
major log is filled, and then all log recording and valve control stops. The
user must select Clear Logs on the LineGuard Status screen before normal
pressure monitoring, logging, and control is resumed. If the Open Output
field is defined, the user can open the valve by selecting Force Open on
the LineGuard Valve Control screen or remotely. If the Open Output field
on the LineGuard Valve Control screen is not defined, the user must
manually open the valve on site.
Valve Control The control valve can be opened and closed both remotely and on-site by
setting the “Manual Close Flag” or “Manual Open Flag”. When the
“Manual Open Flag” is set the configured “Open Output” is energized for
the “Open Duration”. When the “Manual Close Flag” is set the configured
“Close Output” is energized for the “Close Duration”. “Open Duration”
and “Close Duration” values can be configured from 5 seconds to 1800
seconds (30 minutes).

4 Rev Nov-12
 LineGuard 2300 Program User Manual

Automatic valve closure can be initiated by a high pressure condition, low

pressure condition or a high rate of drop of pressure condition. After auto-
closure has been initiated, even a favorable pressure change will not de-
energize the “Close Output” and the valve will stroke to completion. Any
or all of these closure controls may be individually disabled if desired by
setting the “Auto-closure” for the alarm type to disabled. If auto-closure is
disabled, the program will still perform all other functions with the
exception of “Close Output” activation.
Limit switch inputs may be configured for both the open and close
operations. During valve closure the program will monitor the “Close Limit
Switch” status (if configured) and de-activate the “Close Output” when the
limit switch status becomes active. If the close limit switch input is not
defined then the close output will remain energized for the full close
duration period. During valve opening the program will monitor the “Open
Limit Switch” status (if configured) and de-activate the “Open Output”
when the limit switch status becomes active. If the open limit switch input
is not defined then the open output will remain energized for the full open
duration period.
Data Log Collection Minor and major data logs are collected from the LineGuard unit using the
LineGuard Log Utility (refer to LineGuard Logs Utility User Manual Form
A6177). This software and associated documentation may be purchased
from Remote Automation Solutions. The interface software allows the user
to log-on into the LineGuard unit remotely or on-site and retrieve logs. The
utility is intended only for collection of minor and major data logs from the
LineGuard device. All other operations, including program monitoring,
program configuration, and event and alarm log collection, are
accomplished with the ROCLINK 800 configuration software.
Input Error Detection The program provides error detection for failed transmitters and input
power limits.
The user may enable a check for pressure transmitter fail detection (see tab
on the LineGuard Valve Control screen). The user enters low and high
pressure set points. When the transmitter fail check is enabled and the input
pressure is outside of one of the set points for more than a user defined
delay period, the program begins a transmitter reset sequence.
The program first cycles power to the pressure transmitter. If the pressure
value returns to within the set points, normal LineGuard operations are
continued. If the input pressure remains out of limits, the program initiates
a restart (warm-start) of the FloBoss 107. If the pressure value returns to
within the set points, normal LineGuard operations are continued. If the
input pressure remains out of limits, line break detection software and
value closure algorithm are disabled until the pressure input value returns
to within the expected range.
The user may enable a check for input voltage error (see tab on the
LineGuard Valve Control screen). The user enters low and high input
voltage alarm limits. When the voltage check is enabled and the input

Rev Nov-12 5
LineGuard 2300 Program User Manual

voltage to the FloBoss 107 is outside of one of the alarm limits, the
program first checks to see if a valve closure is already in progress. If a
closure is in progress, the program will wait for the closure to complete
before taking action. When the input voltage is out of limits and no closure
in is progress, line break detection software and value closure algorithm are
disabled until the input voltage returns to within limits.

300, 600, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 600, 1200, and
1200, 1800 1800 seconds.
18 Active Event Time R/O Program UINT16 2 0 → 65535 0 1.00 Time (in seconds) that a major alarm has
been active. Once this value becomes
greater than the event duration period
valve closure is initiated.
19 Transmitter Power Output R/W User TLP 3 NA 0,0,0 1.00 Identifies discrete output used to cycle
Point Def power to the input pressure transmitter.
This output is used to cycle power to a
failed transmitter in an attempt to restore
normal transmitter operation.
20 Transmitter Failed Alarm R/W User TLP 3 NA 0,0,0 1.00 Identifies discrete output to be used as an
Output Point Def alarm indication of a failed transmitter.
When defined, this output is activated
when a failed transmitter is detected.
21 Transmitter Fail Low R/W User Float 4 Any valid 0.0 1.00 When the input pressure drops below this
Setpoint float value, the transmitter is considered failed.
22 Transmitter Fail High R/W User Float 4 Any valid 0.0 1.00 When the input pressure rises above this
Setpoint float value, the transmitter is considered failed.
23 Transmitter Fail Reset R/W User UINT8 1 0, 1 0 1.00 This flag allows the user to enable the
Sequence Enable reset/recover sequence when a failed
transmitter is detected (0=reset disabled,
1=reset enabled). When this flag is
enabled and a transmitter has failed, the
system will first cycle power to the
transmitter and then warm start the
FloBoss if transmitter is still failed.
