drukniveau2

drukniveau2 is a term used in Dutch-language technical documents to denote a secondary pressure level or setpoint within a control system. The word is a compound of druk (pressure) and niveau (level), with the numeric suffix indicating a hierarchical position in a sequence of pressure-related parameters. While not a universal standard, drukniveau2 commonly appears as a variable name or tag in engineering diagrams, PLC/SCADA configurations, and process-control documentation.

In practice, drukniveau2 represents a specific threshold that can trigger defined actions when the process pressure reaches or exceeds it. It is often paired with drukniveau1, which may designate a primary or lower threshold. The exact behavior—such as valve actuation, pump start/stop, alarm generation, or interlock enforcement—depends on the system’s logic, configuration, and safety requirements. The term is particularly common in automation for hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-handling applications, as well as in building services where pressure limits govern equipment operation.

Implementation details are device- and project-specific. The numerical suffix does not convey universal meaning beyond ordering; therefore, the value and associated actions must be documented in project files, schematics, or software tag databases. Users encountering drukniveau2 should consult the relevant engineering drawings or control logic to understand its precise definition, range, and response in a given installation.
