The diagnostic interval is shown for each of the two (programmable and nonprogrammable) assessment lists. The (C) values have been chosen to cover the range 1–3 in order to construct a model which caters for the known range of BETA values.
For programmable electronics
Diagnostic coverage | Interval <1 min | Interval 1–5 min | Interval 5–10 min | Interval >10 min |
98% | 3 | 2.5 | 2 | 1 |
90% | 2.5 | 2 | 1.5 | 1 |
60% | 2 | 1.5 | 1 | 1 |
For sensors and actuators
Diagnostic coverage | Interval <2 hrs | Interval 2 hrs–2 days | Interval 2 days–1 week | Interval >1 week |
98% | 3 | 2.5 | 2 | 1 |
90% | 2.5 | 2 | 1.5 | 1 |
60% | 2 | 1.5 | 1 | 1 |
In view of the comments, in
Section 5.2.2, concerning conjecture there is no justification for more than single figure accuracy. The following table is used in BETAPLUS 4.0 and in the Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers Guidance SR/15 Edition 5 amendments.
Values for MooN configurations outside the above table are also a matter of conjecture and never likely to be demonstrated. Thus, the user is encouraged to use his/her own judgment.
