A valve maintenance assistance device includes: a valve ID storing portion configured to store IDs of an ON-OFF valve which may be a candidate for maintenance; an opening acquiring portion configured to acquire opening measurement data from an opening sensor provided on the ON-OFF valve; a pressure acquiring portion configured to acquire pressure measurement data on operating device air supplied to an operating device of the ON-OFF valve; a storing portion configured to store the opening measurement data and the pressure measurement data; and a diagnosis index calculating portion configured to calculate a dead zone time from when an operating device air pressure is changed until an opening degree of the ON-OFF valve is changed as a diagnosis index based on the pressure measurement data and the opening measurement data; and a diagnosis index presenting portion configured to present a numerical value of the diagnosis index calculated by the diagnosis index calculating portion.

Valve maintenance assistance device and assisting method

A valve abnormality detecting device includes an opening acquiring portion to acquire a valve opening value; a pressure acquiring portion to acquire a pressure value of operating device air of an operating device for a valve; a stability-time detecting portion configured to detect a stable-opening state in which the valve opening value acquired by the opening acquiring portionis substantially constant; a frictional force detecting portion configured to detect a difference between a maximum pressure value and a minimum pressure value of the operating device air in the stable-opening state as an index value indicating a frictional force at a sliding portion of the valve; and an abnormality determining portion configured to determine that an abnormality may have occurred in the valve in a case where a frequency of occurrence of reduction in which the index value falls below a specified value is an abnormal frequency.

Valve abnormality detecting device and method

A failure factor identification supporting apparatus includes a failure time point information obtaining unit () that obtains information regarding a failure occurrence time point at which a failure occurs in a field device (V) located in a field; an event information obtaining unit () that obtains event information regarding, among one or more events that occur in the field, an event that occurs within a certain time range prior to the failure occurrence time point, and an event occurrence time point at which the event occurs; and a failure factor candidate output unit () that outputs the event information, obtained by the event information obtaining unit (), as a failure factor candidate.
