Abstract
A motor operated valve diagnostic data acquisition system including: a motor operated valve assembly; a transmitter, the transmitter being permanently connected in a housing of a motor operated valve assembly; a receiver, the transmitter transmitting signals to the receiver via motor operated valve cables, the cables being existing motor operated valve cables; and electronic circuitry connected to the receiver, the electronic circuitry processing the signals received by the receiver.
Claims21
A motor operated valve diagnostic data acquisition system comprising:
- a motor operated valve assembly inside a containment in a nuclear power plant;
- a transmitter, the transmitter being permanently connected at the motor operated valve assembly inside the containment;
- a receiver outside the containment, the transmitter transmitting diagnostic data signals to the receiver via motor operated valve cables, the cables being existing motor operated valve cables;
- and
- electronic circuitry connected to the receiver, the electronic circuitry processing the diagnostic data signals received by the receiver.
A motor operated valve diagnostic data acquisition system comprising:
- a motor operated valve assembly;
- a transmitter, the transmitter being permanently connected in a housing of the motor operated valve assembly;
- a receiver, the transmitter transmitting signals to the receiver via motor operated valve cables, the cables being existing motor operated valve cables;
- and
- electronic circuitry connected to the receiver, the electronic circuitry processing the signals received by the receiver;
- wherein the transmitter includes one on/off signal and one analog signal, the on/off and analog signals being summed at a summation point.
A motor operated valve diagnostic data acquisition system comprising:
- a motor operated valve assembly;
- a transmitter, the transmitter being permanently connected in a housing of the motor operated valve assembly;
- a receiver, the transmitter transmitting signals to the receiver via motor operated valve cables, the cables being existing motor operated valve cables;
- and
- electronic circuitry connected to the receiver, the electronic circuitry processing the signals received by the receiver;
