A system and method for measuring a flow of saturated steam can include a temperature sensor that measures process temperature, and one or more pressure sensors that measure pressure including differential pressure and static pressure. A flow of saturated steam can be calculated from two sets of measurements, one measurement using the differential pressure and the static pressure and a second measurement using the differential pressure and the process temperature. Redundant flow measurements can be provided with respect to the flow of saturated steam in case of failure of the temperature sensor or the pressure sensors. In addition, a deviation between the flow of the saturated steam as calculated from the process temperature and the differential pressure compared to a flow of saturated steam as calculated from the differential pressure and the static pressure can provide an indication of degradation of the temperature sensor or the pressure sensors.

System and method for measuring saturated steam flow using redundant measurements

A method includes communicatively coupling a user device to a field device in an industrial control system in order to configure and provision the field device. The method also includes selecting an operating mode of the user device. The method further includes, in response to selecting a first operating mode, providing configuration data from the user device to the field device in order to configure the field device. In addition, the method includes, in response to selecting a second operating mode, providing provisioning data from the user device to the field device in order to provision the field device onto a wireless network. Providing the configuration data and the provisioning data could include communicating the provisioning data and the configuration data to the field device through an out-of-band communication interface. The out-of-band communication interface may include a direct wired interface or infrared interface.
