Abstract
A valve assembly monitoring system receives operational data that is representative of one or more parameters of a valve assembly's operation and that is collected by the valve assembly during normal operation. The valve assembly monitoring system is configured to identify, based on the operational data, a change in valve travel setpoint that indicates a start of a valve transition and a subsequent change in valve travel that indicates an end of the valve transition. Based on the identified start and end of the valve transition, the valve assembly monitoring system is configured to generate a valve transition time and to compare the generated transition time to transition time limits of the valve assembly to alert maintenance personnel to problematic increases in transition time.
