Answer / raffi

Signal(Soft PB) for SOV to open in Manual and Auto are same (DO)
While your are running in AUTO. it is working with interlock/logic i.e feedback from other IOs

While in Manual mode you should press the SOV button to open after change the mode to manual

If it not working in AUTO then Check the malfunction of feedback signal IO card or carryout the loop checking for feedback signal to sort out the issue

If it works in Mamual Mode and not in Auto Mode, then check
the logic for an interlock or permissive.

I have observed in field instrumentation work... I remove the fuse of an analog transmitter then it shows 7.75 kg/sq cm (which is practically wrong value)in DCS and when put the fuse it shows 0 in dcs. Then cheach the field transmitter termination and found moister. clean that and then it shows 1.1 kg/ sq cm which is right value. Please describe the above phenomenon.
