This section provides a file format definition for the valve signature files. It includes a file naming convention:

Filname:

‘Date_Time_ValveTagId’, where Date-Format: yyyyMMdd and Time-Format: HHmmss.

Time in filename is only to be used for file handling purposes. Accurate Valve-Signature time-stamp is given in TriggerTime variable.

Variables:

BrowsePath

A browse path that uniquely identifies the valve in signature file (without namespace).

Mandatory

TagId

TagId of the Valve

Optional

Description

Valve description.

Mandatory

Command

"open", "close", "partial-stroke"

Mandatory

TriggerTime

Timestamp for signature, SEM time when valve movement started.In OPC UA DateTime (see OPC 10000-5 section 5.2.2.5 DateTime)

the string should be in this format "1510835812.330"

Optional

Instrument

Instrument data start.

InstrumentId

TagId or BrowseName for instrument.

Mandatory

InstrumentDescription

Description.

Mandatory

EUrangeHigh

High range for plot, may be different from actual instrument range.(example: for flow transmitter EUrangeHigh should correspond to valve volume not flow instrument max range)

Optional

EUrangeLow

Low range for plot, may be different from actual sensor range.

Optional

EngineeringUnits

Instrument Engineering unit, same unit as EngineeringUnits under ProcessVariable.

Mandatory

Samples

Sample values.

Time

SEM time for sample.In OPC UA DateTime (see OPC 10000-5 section 5.2.2.5 DateTime)) the string should be in this format "1510835812.330"

Mandatory

Value

Instrument sample value.

Mandatory

Fault

Sensor fault.

Optional

Additional comments:

First instrument sample value may be earlier in time than TriggerTime, dependent on subsea vendor SEM configuration, to include a pre-operation sample in the plot.
