SMART-PULP Smart Consistency Transmitter

• The transmitter must be mounted at 90

angle to

the pump axis and on the side of the line indicated in

Figure 1.1.1a, i.e. on the side where the pulp is

discharged from the pump.

NOTE! The direction of a pipe bend downstream

from the transmitter has no effect.

WARNING !

Before installing the process coupling, make

sure that the process line is empty and

depressurized !

1.1 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

1.1.1 Points of importance in installation

• The pipe’s inside diameter must be at least 100

mm, and flow velocity must be as shown in the

APPLICATION chapter. If required, the pipe

diameter can be altered so as to achieve the desired

flow velocity.

• Pulp flow must be laminar.

• The pipe should have sufficiently long straight

sections of uniform diameter both upstream and

downstream from the transmitter (Fig. 1.1.1a).

Figure 1.1.2a Preferred mounting locations for SMART-PULP in pipework

1.1.2 Selecting the mounting location

Preferred mounting locations: 1. A, 2. B1, 3. B2

or C (D when pipe turns upward again).

Important considerations:

A. This is the preferred location in terms of the

control loop’s lag time. If the required length of

straight pipe (L1 + L2) is not provided, you can use

an installation tube (Fig. 1.1.2b) that can be welded

in place immediately after conical expansion.

NOTE! The transmitter should be mounted at 90

angle to the pump axis (section E-E).

If the vertical section is shorter than the installation

tube or if accessibility is a problem, proceed to

alternative B1.

B1. In this alternative you install the transmitter on

the side of the line to prevent possible air from

disturbing the measurement. Notice that straight

section L1 before the transmitter is 50% longer than

in alternative A. If the straight section is too short,

you can use an installation tube or proceed to

alternative B2 or C.

B2. This method may be considered if the straight

length of horizontal pipe is too short for alternative

B1. Installation on the top side of the pipe always

requires careful consideration, because a substantial

buildup of air in the pipe may affect the

measurement accuracy. We do not recommend this

installation method.

C. You may consider this option when horizontal and

vertical sections before the transmitter are too short.

The double bend before the measurement point will

cause problems when L’ < L1. The whirling flow

produced by the double bend has to be eliminated

with installation tube. In addition, you have to

consider the control loop’s lag time which is

considerably longer in this alternative than in

alternative A.

D. In this method you install the transmitter on the

side of a pipe bend’s outer curve. Distance from pipe

bend is L1. Measurement lag: refer to C.

Other considerations:

F. If a globe valve that will not be continuously fully

open has to be installed between pump and

transmitter, the valve’s axis must be parallel to the

pump’s axis to eliminate whirling flow. The valve

manufacturer’s specifications must be taken into

account.

NOTE! Do not change the pipe diameter between

the pump's conical outlet section and the

transmitter's mounting location + L2 distance.

Low consistencies (SMART-PULP UL)

Low consistencies (see Section 7.1, Sensor Types)

are measured with sensor option UL. To measure

extremely low consistencies as accurately as

possible we recommend a bypass installation that

will provide the required flow velocity and stabilized

flow. You should be able to limit the flow velocity

between 0.1 and 1 m/s. This installation is illustrated

in Figure 1.1.2e.

The bypass line is connected to the process line with

20 mm pipes for max. 2% Cs consistency, and with

30 mm pipes for max. 3% Cs consistency. At higher

than 3% Cs consistencies you use 40 mm pipe.

Deflector must not be used with the UL sensor.

NOTE! Due to the risk of plugging, this installation is

not suitable for unscreened pulp.

High consistencies (SMART-PULP HL)

SMART-PULP HL, the transmitter for high

consistencies, is installed on the small-diameter pipe

section following the stock pump. This will ensure

sufficient flow velocity. See Figure 1.1.2d. This pipe

section usually includes other devices, such as a

flowmeter and control valve. Recommended

installation order is shown in Fig. 1.1.2d.

To protect the sensor, the deflector blade supplied

with the transmitter must always be installed in high-

consistency applications where standard process

coupling is used. In digester blow line installations

you have to use the blow coupling shown in Figure

1.1.3d. In that case you will not need a separate

deflector in front of the sensor.

Figure 1.1.3a Installation of SMART-PULP LL/LS/GL/RL/HL

1.1.3 Installation of process

couplings and deflectors

SMART-PULP LL/LS/GL/RL/HL

Using the welding guide shown in Fig.

1.1.3f, you weld the process coupling

exactly at right angles (90

±0.5) to the

pipe as shown in Fig. 1.1.3a. (Welding

instructions are supplied in the kit. Also

refer to Fig. 1.1.2c).

Procedure:

- Make a Ø71 mm hole in the pipe.

- Attach the process coupling to the

welding guide.

- Equalize the height adjustment at both

ends of the guide to ensure that the

guide is supported steadily on its end

pieces and will not rock on the coupling.

- Attach the welding guide to the process

pipe with mounting straps.

- Weld the coupling at 4 points on the

pipe.

- Remove the guide and complete the

welding.

Deflector distances L3 and L4 for types

LL/LS/GL/RL: L3 = L4 = 300 mm; and for

type HL: L3 = L4 = 150 mm.

The deflector downstream from the

sensor is only installed in applications

with a risk of back flow that might

damage the sensor (e.g. when stopping

or starting the process). The deflectors

must be centered exactly in line with the

process coupling. The deflectors have

Ø5 mm holes to facilitate installation; for

instance, you may insert a piece of wire

through the holes. In exceptional cases,

when process pressure exceeds 10 bar

and/or there is exceptionally strong

vibartion, it is advisable to reinforce the

mounting of the process coupling with a

reinforcing ring (Fig. 1.1.3b). Deflector’s

inlet to the pipe should also be reinforced

in the same way.

SMART-PULP UL

Installation in bypass line (Fig. 1.1.2e):

Install the process coupling as described

above, but exclude the deflectors. When

installing in the actual process line you

may require an installation tube (Fig.

1.1.2b) without deflectors.

SMART-PULP WS

Install the process coupling as shown in Figure 1.1.3c. Cut a 9

mm by 182 mm bevelled hole for the deflector on the pipe.

Place the coupling on the pipe and draw the outline of the

coupling’s bore on the pipe. Then cut out the mounting hole.

Remove all burrs from the hole, and round the edges of the

hole. Weld the coupling. Install the backflow deflector in line

with the coupling’s center line.

SMART-PULP HL in digester blow

line installations

Install the blow line coupling with single bevel weld

at right angles against the pipe, as shown in Figure

1.1.3d. See that the deflector is exactly in line with

the pipe’s center line. The coupling’s lower edge

should be level with the pipe’s inner wall.

Regulations concerning pressurized vessel

installations must be observed when welding the

coupling.

SMART-PULP JL

Installation of the process coupling on fiberglass-

reinforced plastic pipe is illustrated in Figure 1.1.3e.

First make a bevelled hole in the pipe. Then

laminate the process coupling carefully on the pipe

in accordance with lamination instructions.

transmitter to the process coupling with mounting

clamp. Before tightening the screws, ensure that the

transmitter’s sensor blade is parallel to the direction

of flow (±1

). Use a ruler placed against the bottom

of the aligning slot to align the sensor. Apply 25 N

torque to tighten the screws.

Note! When required, the process coupling can be

shut with a blind flange.

1.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

1.2.1 Power supply and wiring

SMART-PULP’s wiring connections are shown in

Figures 1.2.1a and b.

Figure 1.2.1e shows the test meter connection and

the possible connections of 275 HART® user

interface.

With the standard display unit the current loop and

optional binary input connections must be done

under the display.

When using the remote display the connections

must be done in the remote operator terminal. The

fixed connection cable must be connected to the

terminals of the transmitter.

The transmitter’s minimum supply voltage is

determined by the load resistance. Figure 1.2.1d

shows the load resistance as a function of supply

voltage. Load resistance refers to the sum of the

resistances of the current loop’s test resistors, cable

resistance, and power supply resistance. The

following additional requirements are applied to the

power supply if HART® communications are in use:

• Minimum load resistance: 250 Ω

• Ripple: 47 to 125 Hz 0.2 Vpp max.

• Noise: 500 to 10,000 Hz 2.2 mV RMS max.

• Impedance: 500 to 10,000 Hz 10 Ω max.

Making the connections:

• Open the display cover by turning it

counterclockwise.

• Turn the display unit slightly counterclockwise, then

pull it out carefully.

• Insert the cable through the inlet. Use the inlet that

points to the side or downwards. Leave an extra loop

of cable outside the transmitter as reserve and to

conduct drain water out. Tighten the inlet nut and

ensure that the inlet is properly sealed.

• Make the connections as shown in Figures 1.2.1a

and b. Connect the groundings in accordance with

the control system’s instructions. The remote

operator terminal cable shield must be grounded

inside the inlet gland of the transmitter.

• Replace the display unit and make sure that the

flat cable folds properly under the unit. (Push home

at 45

angle, then turn 45

clockwise.)

• Check the O-ring on the display cover. Then close

the cover tightly.

• Cut the DCS cable shield at the transmitter/remote

operator terminal end, and insulate inside the metal

inlet.

1.3 SETTING UP THE

TRANSMITTER

QUICK INSTRUCTIONS

CONFIGURATION AND CALIBRATION

When the transmitter is connected to the

process for the first time, it will operate with

default values set by the manufacturer. The

defaults are not sufficient, however. The

transmitter must first be configured and

calibrated in the actual process conditions.

The following is a description of the

simplest procedure (A) for a transmitter

where the sensor blade has been

mounted by the supplier (i.e., not a

standby transmitter installed to replace

e.g. a faulty transmitter).

This procedure enables an already

calibrated consistency measurement. The

other functions provide useful additional

features, but they are not necessary in basic

measurement.

The procedure is divided to three parts:

1. Defining the transmitter’s basic details,

i.e. configuration (A1 and A2).

2. Selecting the pulp types to be measured

(A3).

3. Adapting Valmet Automation’s laboratory-

defined calibration curves, optimised in

terms of pulp type and sensor blade, to the

actual process conditions (A6).

The appended Tables show the procedure

for setting up a transmitter which is taken

into operation for the first time. The Tables

show the required keystrokes and the cor-

responding displays. Steps A1 through A6

below describe the actions in more detail.

More detailed instructions for the menus are

found in the chapter Transmitter Functions

(Menus), which gives a detailed description

of the Calibration, Configuration,

Diagnostics and Measurement menus.

PROCEDURE

A1. Switch on the transmitter. Press [MODE]

and [ ] to access the CONFIGURATION

menu. The text CONFIGUR is displayed.

Press [ENTER]. The text LOWER RA (=

lower range-value) is displayed. This is the

first parameter to be adjusted in the

configuration menu.

A2. You can select another parameter with

the arrow keys. Pressing [ENTER] will

MOUNTING (mounting orientation)

The other parameters are additional features which

you do not necessarily have to touch. The

manufacturer’s default values are sufficient for

normal operation.

A3. Press [MODE/ESC] to go to the main menu

level. Press [ ] to select CALIBRATion, and accept

the selection with [ENTER]. The text NEW RECI is

now displayed.

You next create at least one new recipe in the NEW

RECIpe submenu. Press [ENTER] to go to that

submenu. In a recipe you select the recipe number

(1 to 8), main pulp type and filler (ash) content, if

required. 0.0 is recommended if laboratory

command is used in calibration.You accept the P1

and P2 parameters as they are (default values 1.00

and 0.00, respectively).

Pulp types:

The following list describes all pulp types

offered by the menu. Selected sensor type will exclude some

of the pulp type options. If you cannot get the desired pulp

type, ensure that the correct sensor type has been

configured and that the transmitter is equipped with that

sensor type. Mechanical pulps are softwood pulps.

ULIN Unlinearized 0-30 N shear force range

without temperature correction.

Corresponding output display 0-100%

instead of consistency. This is the default value.

HWU Unbleached short-fibered chemical pulp,

e.g. birch pulp or eucalyptus, bagasse and

other agro fibers.

RCFU Recycled fiber, unscreened; contains debris.

RCFS Recycled fiber, screened.

ROCCU Recycled fiber, packing board, unscreened

ROCCS Recycled fiber, packing board (OCC), screened.

Even if there is filler, you may accept 0.00% as filler

content, provided that you do not want to change the

filler content later without sampling and laboratory

analysis.

In practice, sampling and 2-point calibration will

make the correction for an unknown filler content.

However, when filler content changes the transmitter

must be recalibrated on the basis of sampling and

laboratory analysis. Merely changing the filler

content from the operator unit will not suffice if the

initial filler value was incorrect at calibration time.

On the other hand, if the original filler content was

known and was enetered into the recipe at the

beginning, it can be changed later and obtain the

correct measurement result without sampling.

In most applications it is sufficient to define zero

filler content and to create a separate recipe for

each pulp type and ash content combination.

You can create 1 to 8 recipes, each of which can be

calibrated separately on the basis of sampling and

laboratory analysis.

The text NEW RECI will be redisplayed after you

have accepted all selections and the SAVE OK?

prompt with [ENTER]. You can then repeat step A3

for the desired number of recipes. You can also later

add new recipes or change existing ones.

A4. The transmitter is now ready for

measurement.

Press [MODE/ESC] to go to the MEASURE menu,

and accept the selection with [ENTER]. Use the

arrow keys to display the text RECIPE, and replace

it with one of the recipe numbers created in step A3.

The sequence is as follows: ENTER/[ ] ENTER/

derived on the basis of the measured shear force

from the base curve of the selected pulp type and

sensor type saved into the transmitter’s memory.

not correspond to the actual consistency in the

pipe, you have to perform sampling and laboratory

analysis and calibrate the recipe on the basis of the

results.

CALIBRATION THROUGH SAMPLING

NOTE! The recipe to be calibrated must be active

(see A4).

Press [ESC] to move upwards through the menus

until the text MEASURE is displayed.

Press [⇓] and [⇓] to display the text CALIBRAT.

Press [ENTER] to confirm this selection.

The text NEW RECI is displayed again. Press [⇓] to

display the text SAMPLING. Press [ENTER] to

confirm this selection.

Now the text 1.START is displayed. Pressing

[ENTER] will start average value calculation for

Sample No. 1.

You can also activate average value calculation for

Sample No. 2 by pressing [⇓] until the text 2.START

is displayed and by accepting this selection with

[ENTER].

The blinking text END SAM indicates that averaging

for Sample 1 or 2 is in progress. After taking the

actual sample from the pipe, press [ENTER] to

accept the END SAM text.

You can repeat the taking of Sample 1 and 2 the

desired number of times. The last results are always

retained in memory. A single sample, e.g. No. 1, is

sufficient for single-point calibration. Since the

sampling can be repeated the desired number of

times, press [ESC] to exit the menu.

The menu text SAMPLING is displayed again.

Analyze at least your sample’s consistency in

laboratory.

Press [⇓] to display the menu text LABORATO.

Accept the selection by pressing [ENTER].

Then use the arrow keys to get the correct recipe

number, i.e., the same on which the samples were

taken and which you want to calibrate. The displayed

default number should be correct unless the recipe

number has been changed since sampling.

Press [ENTER] to accept the recipe number.

The text ASH 0.0% is displayed. If you know the

filler content, enter it with the arrow keys. Press

[ENTER] to accept the filler content.

Most of the cases ash content can be left at 0.0

even if there is ash but the percentage remains

constant.

have proceeded correctly, the text LABORATO is

now displayed.

The transmitter is now calibrated, and you can go to

the MEASURE menu by pressing [ESC] [ESC]

[ENTER].

CALIBRATION WITHOUT SAMPLING

If there is a known difference between the

transmitter’s reading and analyzed consistency, it

can be eliminated directly with zero offset by

changing the P2 value (see Table 1.3a). The change

in P2 is the same as the detected difference, LAB -

measured average.

You use the arrow keys to change the P2 value. The

specified zero offset takes effect when you accept

the SAVE OK? prompt, after which you can return

directly to the MEASURE menu.

When calibration has been completed, it is

recommendable to write down all recipes (pulp type,

filler, P1 and P2) as well as the configuration.

Standby transmitter can then be made operational

with minimum effort.

Notes

Configuration and calibration of standby

transmitter used to replace a faulty transmitter

(B)

B. If the new transmitter’s sensor blade has been

replaced by the customer or if there is otherwise

reason to suspect error in shear force measurement,

we recommend the DIAGNOSTics menu’s TRIM-F

function (see the Diagnostics chapter) before

installing the transmitter in the process.

This will make the transmitter’s operation consistent

with other corresponding SMART-PULP transmitters.

Consistent force measurement enables the new

transmitter to be calibrated so that it will operate

identically with the replaced transmitter without

sampling and laboratory analysis.

It will be sufficient to enter the other transmitter’s

recipe data (pulp type, filler content, and the P1 and

P2 parameters) and configuration (lower and upper

range-values, sensor blade type, mounting

orientation and damping) to the new transmitter.

consistencies corresponding to the selected sensor

type and pulp type. Upper and lower limits are

determined separately for each pulp type and sensor

type (refer to the APPLICATION chapter). The

programming unit gets the values from the

transmitter. If recipes have not been programmed,

LSL and USL have no significance. ”Min span”

defines the minimum permissible difference between

upper range-value and lower range-value.

You can exit this menu with the LEFT arrow key.

Pressing the RIGHT arrow key on the menu’s

second line will display the alarm current in

milliamps. This can only be changed from the

transmitter’s operator keys. The options are 3.7 mA

and 22.5 mA. The transmitter will run this current if it

has found a fault e.g. in its memories or in A/D

conversion, which indicates that force

measurements are faulty. In other words, the

transmitter will run the specified alarm current if it is

not able to measure reliably and to run the current

corresponding to the actual consistency.

On the menu’s third line you can read and, with the

RIGHT arrow key, change the transmitter’s mounting

orientation. HU indicates the upper side of a

horizontal pipe and HS the side of a horizontal pipe.

VU indicates upward flow in vertical pipe.

On the menu’s fourth and fifth lines you can read

and, with the RIGHT arrow key, change the sensor

blade’s type and material. These affect the

calibration curves and the sensor blade’s own weight

which is taken into account in shear force

calculation. Line 4 (blade type) must be

programmed correctly. Before changing the

blade type read the NOTE on page 12!

You can exit this menu with the LEFT arrow key.

Pressing the RIGHT arrow key at 3 Device info will

Calibration

1 New recipe

2 Sampling

3 Lab results

4 Special grade

5 Tempr calibrations

To create a new recipe, press the RIGHT arrow key

on line 1. You first select the recipe number with the

RIGHT arrow key. This will open the following

display:

SMARTPULP:CIC-2200

Recipe n

1 Pulp

2 Fillers

3 P1

4 P2

When required, this display allows you to change the

pulp type, filler content, curve slope correction factor

P1 and offset correction factor P2. You do not have

to touch P1 and P2 in a normal situation where

calibration is done with the Calibration menu’s

Sampling and Lab Results commands. You can also

omit the filler content (Fillers) in normal situations

where a separate recipe is created for each

combination of pulp type and filler content.

Sampling/Lab Results calibration also takes into

account the effect of filler content on zero level and

curve slope. You define the P1 and P2 parameters

when you replace a faulty transmitter with a spare

transmitter and do not want to perform sampling and

laboratory analysis. If the Diagnostics menu’s TRIM-

F function has been performed on the transmitter

after installing the sensor blade, entering these four

parameters intro the recipe will make the new

transmitter behave identically with the replaced

trnasmitter, provided that the configuration is also

identical. Increasing or decreasing the P2 offset

parameter of the recipe changes the output

correspondingly.

You can create 1 to 8 recipes. You can add new

recipes and revise existing ones at any time.

When you have changed the required parameters

and returned to this menu, the text box SEND is

displayed at the bottom of the display. This means

that the programming unit contains altered data

which has not yet been sent to the transmitter. When

you press F2, the data is transferred to the

transmitter and the text box disappears.

Two-point calibration (Use both) changes both P1

slope and P2 offset parameters, so that new

calibration curve goes through both laboratory

points.

See the NOTE on the page 12.

The 4 Special grade option allows you to enter 16

different consistency levels and the corresponding

deviations detected between the transmitter’s

measured consistency and actual consistency. The

order in which you enter the consistencies is free

from software version 1.2 onwards. You do not have

to define all 16 consistency levels and deviations.

The 5 Tempr calibrations option allows you to

calibrate the temperature indications to actual

temperatures.

Pressing the RIGHT arrow key at 4 Diagnostics in

the main menu will open the following menu:

1 Loop test

2 Device status

1 Loop test allows you to force the transmitter to

the desired output current value in order to test the

current loop.

2 Device status indicates what faults the transmitter

has detected in its own operation. These are

indicated with the text ON. In connection with

HART® communications the fault are normal and do

not require any actions.

Pressing the RIGHT arrow key at 2 Sampling opens

the following two options:

1 Start sample 1

2 Start sample 2

With these options you can start average

consistency and standard deviation calculation for

sample 1 or 2. Pressing the F4 key after sample

taking will end the calculation. The transmitter will

then return the following text to the display:

SMARTPULP:tag

Sampling results of

Sample n:

Average xx.xx%Cs

Deviation xx.xx%Cs

Shear force xxx g

Pressing F4 (OK) will return you to the previous

menu. You can repeat the sampling the desired

number of times. The transmitter will remember the

latest samples 1 and 2.

Pressing the RIGHT arrow key at 3 Lab results will

enter the laboratory results: recipe number,

calibration method, ash (filler) content and

consistency(-ies). Press F4 (OK) to accept the

values.

Single-point calibration changes only P2 offset

parameter of the recipe by the difference between

LAB and sample average
