Abstract:
Apparatus and method are disclosed whereby loss of power to a process control system will result in overriding the process control system for a preselected time following the restoration of power at the end of the power interruption. In a preferred embodiment, loss of power to a digital programmer controlling at least one chromatographic analyzer results in isolation of the chromatographic analyzer from the sample source upon restoration of the power, backflushing the chromatographic analyzer column and resetting the digital programmer.
Abstract:
Apparatus comprising two flip-flop circuits is employed to control selectively the passage of two fluid streams to an analyzer. Signals are also established to indicate the particular stream being passed to the analyzer.
