Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for monitoring a reference half-cell, the reference half-cell with a measuring half-cell forming a potentiometric measuring point for determining and / or monitoring an ion concentration of a medium, and with the aid of a measured value determined in the measuring circuit between the measuring half-cell and the reference half-cell the ion concentration of the medium is determined.
- the potentiometric measuring point for determining the ion concentration in a liquid medium is, for example, a pH sensor.
- the pH sensor can be designed as a glass electrode or as an ISFET sensor.
- the voltage that develops between the measuring half-cell and the reference half-cell serves as a measure for the pH value or for the ion concentration of the medium.
- the basics of pH measurement technology and the construction of pH sensors are described, for example, in the book "Wastewater - Measurement and Control Technology", published by Endress + Hauser GmbH + Co., 2nd edition, p. 81 ff.
- the pH measuring half-cells are preferably so-called glass electrodes or ISFET sensors. These are widely used in many areas of chemistry, environmental analysis, medicine, industry and water management. The applicant offers and sells both types of sensors for a wide variety of applications. As already mentioned, the glass electrodes and ISFET sensors used for potentiometric measurements usually have reference half cells which form constant potentials to a high degree.
- Calomel electrodes used.
- the contact from the reference half cell to the measuring medium is established via a bridge electrolyte.
- the Bridge electrolyte can be liquid or solidified and generally has to meet certain requirements: On the one hand, it should have little influence on the potential of the reference half-cell; on the other hand, it should form the smallest possible diffusion potential with the measuring medium. If the prerequisites are met, the reference half-cell delivers a process-independent and stable reference signal.
- Liquid-transferred reference half cells are used in many applications of pH, REDOX and ISE measurement technology.
- Liquid-transferred reference half-cells have a liquid contact between the process - ie the medium - and the interior of the reference half-cell. This liquid contact is usually designed as a porous ceramic pin with a pore diameter in the ⁇ m range. Due to the process, this porous ceramic can now become blocked. If the ceramic becomes blocked or blocked, the transition is very high-resistance and it is not a low-resistance one
- interference voltages can impress on the potential of the reference half-cell, which can sometimes significantly impair the measuring accuracy.
- these interference voltages can correspond to changes in several pH values.
- the measuring point consequently outputs pH values which no longer reflect the actual ion concentration in the medium.
- approximately 90% of the incorrect measurements occurring in ion concentration measurements are caused by a malfunction of the reference half-cell.
- a method has already become known of how a malfunction of a reference half-cell, which is caused by the blocking of the transition between the reference half-cell and the measuring medium, can be recognized.
- a malfunction of the reference half-cell is recognized by monitoring the impedance of the liquid transfer between the reference half-cell and the measuring medium in the process. As soon as a specified limit value is exceeded, an alarm is set.
- the measuring point 1 shows the essential components of a pH measuring point 1 as used in measuring technology.
- the measuring point 1 consists of a measuring half cell 2, a reference half cell 2 and a measuring device 6, which usually measures the voltage between the two half cells 2, 3. This voltage is inversely proportional to the pH of the measuring medium 7.
- the pH measuring half-cell 2 usually has an internal resistance of 50-1000 M ⁇ . There is a connection to the liquid-transferred reference half-cell 3 via the measuring medium 7. This connection usually has an impedance in the order of magnitude of 1-100 k ⁇ and is therefore several orders of magnitude below the impedance of the measuring half-cell 2.
- the measuring device 6 determines the voltage between the two half-cells 2 , 3, the
- Reference half-cell 3 in measuring device 6 is at ground potential. Due to the relatively low impedance of the liquid-transferred reference half-cell 3, the medium 7 up to the glass membrane 4 also lies at the ground potential of the measuring device 6. If blocking occurs on the liquid-transferred reference half-cell 3, electrical interference potentials arise between the measuring half-cell 2 and the reference half-cell 3 noticeable in the measurement. Since the measuring half cell 2 and the reference half cell 3 are electrically connected in series, the sum of the impedances is dominated by the impedance of the measuring half cell 2. Therefore, a simple resistance measurement between the points - and t - as shown in FIG. 1 - does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the current impedance of the reference half cell 3.
- a measuring point 1 in a symmetrical circuit.
- a circuit is outlined in FIG. 2.
- the measuring half-cell 2 is operated with low resistance against a metal pin 10; the reference half-cell 3 is also measured against the metal pin 10.
- the metal pin 10 now has the advantage that it does not block.
- the metal pin 10 does not provide a constant reference potential either, since redox potentials can form there.
- this is also not important for the measurements by means of the measuring devices 8 and 9, since ultimately the difference between the measured values is formed from the two measurements, as a result of which the influence of changing redox potentials on the metal pin 10 is reduced. Consequently, the impedance measured between the two points - and t is essentially the impedance of the liquid-transferred reference half-cell 2 dependent. This method is therefore ideally suited to detecting a malfunction of the reference half-cell 3 due to blocking.
- An alarm for the malfunction of the reference half-cell is only triggered when a previously defined limit value is exceeded.
- the alarm is set completely irrespective of whether the increased value of the impedance of the reference half-cell disturbs the measurement at all or whether the disturbance was so serious before the limit value was reached that the measurement was considerably disturbed at this point.
- the invention is based on the object of proposing a method and a device which make it possible to specifically monitor the reference half-cell of a measuring point for a malfunction.
- the object is achieved in that the measuring point is operated intermittently in an operating mode and in a test mode, the ion concentration being measured in the operating mode and the functionality of the reference half-cell being checked in the test mode.
- the noise component of the measurement signal is determined in the test mode and in the operating mode. It is further proposed that an impedance, in particular a resistor, be activated in the measuring circuit in the test mode to determine the noise component of the measurement signal, and that in
- the resistor is preferably short-circuited in the operating mode.
- an impedance changing element is actuated for the purpose of changing or for switching the impedance on, in particular the resistance becomes.
- the impedance changing element is a switch which is arranged, for example, in parallel with the resistor.
- the noise components of the measurement signal are measured in the operating mode and in the test mode and that a malfunction of the reference half-cell is recognized on the basis of the ratio of the changes in the noise components in the operating mode and in the test mode and a corresponding message is output.
- a further development of the method according to the invention makes it possible to make a statement regarding the expected service life of the reference half-cell: for this purpose, the noise components of the measurement signals or the ratios of the changes in the noise components of the measurement signals are continuously stored in the operating mode and in the test mode; a message is issued after which time period the reference half-cell is likely to have a malfunction.
- control / evaluation unit operates the measuring point intermittently in an operating mode and in a test mode, and in that the control / evaluation unit determines the ion concentration of the medium in the operating mode and the functionality of the in the test mode Reference half cell checked.
- An impedance in particular a resistor, is preferably provided in the measuring circuit.
- An advantageous embodiment of the device according to the invention provides that the resistor is short-circuited in the operating mode and the resistor is switched into the measuring circuit in the test mode. It goes without saying that any other type of impedance change in the measuring circuit can be used in connection with the invention.
- An impedance changing element e.g. B. a switch is provided which is connected in parallel with the resistor. This switch is operated by the evaluation / control unit.
- An advantageous embodiment of the device according to the invention provides that the control / evaluation unit interprets a change in the ratio of the noise components in the operating mode and in the test mode as soon as it is above a predetermined threshold value in such a way that the reference half-cell works correctly.
- control evaluation unit outputs a malfunction of the reference half-cell when the ratio of the noise components of the measurement signal in the operating mode and in the test mode is approximately unchanged.
- control / evaluation unit uses statistical evaluation methods to detect a malfunction or the correct functioning of the reference half-cell.
- Fig. 4 a diagram in which the ratios of the noise components of the
- Measuring signals in operating mode and in test mode are shown in different circumstances.
- Fig. 1 is a known from the prior art measuring point 1 for
- FIG. 2 shows a circuit known from the prior art for the measuring point shown in FIG. 1, which is used to monitor the reference half-cell 3 of the measuring point 1 for blocking. Both solutions are already sufficiently described in the introduction to the description.
- measuring point 3 shows a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention for monitoring the reference half-cell 3 of a measuring point 1, which is used to determine and / or monitor the ion concentration of a medium 7.
- measuring point 1 is a pH measuring point.
- the solution according to the invention differs from the known solution shown in FIG. 1 in that a resistor 12 is provided in the measuring circuit, to which a switch 13 is connected in parallel.
- the switch 13 is closed by the control / evaluation unit 11 in the operating mode or in the measurement mode and opened in the test mode. Consequently, the resistor 12 is short-circuited in the operating mode or the reference half-cell 3 is connected to the ground potential with low resistance, while a voltage drop occurs across the resistor 12 in the test mode.
- control / evaluation unit 11 The main component of the control / evaluation unit 11 is a microprocessor, which is not shown separately in FIG. 3. Together with an analog / digital converter, which is also not shown separately, this serves to convert, calculate and display the measurement signal or the measurement value.
- Such rule evaluation units 11 are e.g. already implemented in the pH transmitters offered and sold by the applicant and thus state of the art.
- the measurement signals usually voltage values, which, for example, reflect the pH of the medium 7, are now by no means constant. Rather, an averaged measured voltage value is always superimposed by noise. If the switch 13 is opened, the reference half-cell 3 is connected to the ground potential via the resistor 12 and the coupling to the ground potential becomes worse. Consequently, depending on the size of the resistor 12, the noise superimposed on the mean value of the measurement signal also increases. However, if the liquid-transferred reference half-cell 3 is blocked and the impedance of the reference half-cell 3 is in the vicinity of the connected resistor 12 or if it is larger than the connected resistor 12, the noise due to the connected resistor 12 changes only insignificantly.
- the effect is exploited that statements regarding blocking of the reference half cell 3 can be made on the basis of the noise components of the measurement signals in the operating mode and in the test mode.
- the measurement in test mode only takes a few milliseconds.
- the previously determined measured value must be held in the hold state during this period. This prevents a faulty measured value from being output for further processing.
- FIG. 4 shows a diagram in which the ratios of the noise components of the measurement signals in the operating mode and in the test mode are shown under different installation and operating conditions.
- the four differently marked bars simulate four different working conditions under which a potentiometric measuring point must provide reliable measurement results at its installation location in industrial applications.
- external electromagnetic interference fields can have a negative effect on the measurements.
- turbulent, e.g. flowing media also have local interference fields.
- the bars which are hatched from the top left to the bottom right, are a resting medium 7; in addition, the container in which the medium 7 is located was grounded.
- the bars hatched from top right to bottom left are turbulent, e.g. around a flowing medium 7.
- the container is also grounded here. With the empty bars, the container is ungrounded and the medium is at rest. In the case of the dotted bars, the container is ungrounded and the medium is turbulent.
- Numbers 1 - 5 indicate working conditions in which measuring point 1 is used in different media at different temperatures.
- Number 1 indicates a medium with a low conductivity a relatively low temperature
- number 2 refers to a medium with low conductivity at a higher temperature.
- the measurements take place in an acid at different temperatures.
- Number 5 indicates the case that the medium is an acid and that the medium is also in a metal vessel.
- the percentage changes in the noise in the operating mode and in the test mode are shown for all the above-mentioned operating conditions, specifically in the event that the reference half-cell 3 is not blocked. Even in the worst case, the noise component in the operating mode is 5 times larger than the noise component in the test mode.
- the right-hand part of the bar graph shows the percentage changes in noise in the operating mode and in the test mode for a blocked reference half-cell 3. It can be clearly seen that the noise is almost constant in both modes. According to the invention, an approximately unchanged noise component in the operating mode and in the test mode is a clear indication of a malfunction of the reference half-cell.
