1 Introduction: There are many pieces of process equiment
and control loops in one typical industrial plant, and they interact with each other instead of isolating from each other.
So disturbance may propagate through the plant and affect a large number of process variables, evolving into a plant-wide problem.
The widespread nature of the disturbacne then makes it difficult to identify its orgin.

1 Introduction:
A plant-wide approach means the distrbution of a distrubance is mapped out, and the location and nature of the cause of the disturbance are determined with a high probability of being right first time .
The alternative is a time consuming procedure of testing each control loop in turn until the root cause is found.

the plant-wide disturbance detection includes the identification of clusters of measurements having similar dynamic behaviour.

3 Root cause diagnosisSources of persistent dynamic plant-wide disturbance
The non-linear sources include:For example: Control valves with excessive static friction On-off and split-range control Sensors faults Process non-linearities leading to limit cycles Hydrodynamic instability such as slugging flowsThe linear sources include: Poor controller tuning Controller interaction Structural problems involving recycles

3 Root cause diagnosis
Diagnosis has two objectives, the identification and the isolation of the disturbance.

The basis weight valve is under concern because the poor performance caused by the malfunction of valves is quite common in industry.

5 Case study on Paper making process
In Choudhury et al. (2004), the existence of non-linearity in a system can be decided by the Gaussian test and the nonlinearity test.
If the signal is non-Gaussian it goes through another test to determine its linearity.
The nonlinearity index (NLI) is provided as shown

5 Case study on Paper making process
If the process is identified as linear, the root diagnosis path presented by Bauer and Thornhill (2007) is applied to find the disturbance propagation path and to build the causal diagraph.
Basic idea: To get to know the cause-and-effect relationship through the time delays between process variables.
Procedure: 1 Time delay estimation (cross-correlation function) 2 Build the causality matrix 3 Consistency check It is used to verify and ascertain the results. The limit is N-2.
