4 3 Process data acquisition and processing (alarms, messages, curves) 3.1 Introduction Only a long service life for a process control system ensures high profitability. Process computers and operator stations on the process control level age fast due to fast-paced technological advancement of the hardware components and continuously improved functionality. Today, the functionality of the process control level must be designed to provide: ergonomic plant control modern data management and data backup modern data evaluation and visualization easy data exchange with other systems IPKS offers a variety of tools for the modernization of TELEPERM M / ME systems and the migration of OS / IS (OS265,.. MADAM S) systems to an up-to-date process control system. One of these tools for the "soft" conversion from an "old" system to a modern SCADA platform is the IPKS CS275 PDC Server (Process Data Collection). The CS275 PDC Server can be integrated in the TELEPERM M / ME process control level with the OS (265,...) and IS (MADAM S) systems and capable of replacing functions presently provided by these systems. The existing process control system remains unchanged. The CS275 PDC Server acquires process data such as analog signals (curve values) and messages via the CS275 bus and stores this information in cyclic archives (Microsoft SQL Server tables). Based on standard access methods for Microsoft SQL Server, a LAN connection (TCP/IP) can be used to access these tables. Using a standard browser (such as Internet Explorer), CS275 PDC Server gives you the possibility to view and acknowledge messages (incoming, outgoing, acknowledged) and display curves in curve windows. The server's User Administration allows you to define access rights for individual users and monitor user access. Messages and curves can be archived using standard backup equipment (DVD, central backup server). Process data can be easily exported and integrated in other systems (e.g., export to Excel tables). It is also possible to connect evaluation systems (such as ACRON) to the CS275 PDC Server to allow further processing for integration in plant reports and critical point analysis verification of compliance with legal requirements quality control, etc. IPKS GmbH 2007 All rights reserved 2

3.2 CS275 PDC Server Figure 1: System arrangement The CS 275 PDC Server is an industrial Windows server based on Windows operating system and MS SQL Server database.

5 3.2 CS275 PDC Server Figure 1: System arrangement The CS 275 PDC Server is an industrial Windows server based on Windows operating system and MS SQL Server database. Communication with the automation level is established either directly over the CS275 automation bus or by means of gateways connected to the CS275 bus. The connection to the terminals of the operator control and monitoring level is established via LAN (TCP / IP). All that is needed on the operator terminal is a standard browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. Based on today's standard technology the CS275 PDC Server can be scaled to application requirements and expanded from a to a simple (low cost) server system comprising - 1 processor - 1 hard disk - etc. highly available server system comprising - several processors - redundant hard disk - redundant power supply units - etc. IPKS GmbH 2007 All rights reserved 3

6 3.2.1 Fields of application The CS275 PDC Server can be used in different topologies of the process control system. The existing process control system remains unchanged. The CS275 PDC Server can be connected locally and directly to up to three CS275 bus systems as illustrated in the diagram below. In this configuration the PDC server must be arranged in such a way that it can communicate with the CS275 bus system via a direct cable connection.

7 The following diagram shows a remote CS275 PDC Server that is used as central server for one or more bus systems (i.e., for one or more plant sections). Local gateways communicate with the CS275 bus systems via direct cable connections. The CS275 PDC Server acquires the process data over a LAN connection (TCP/IP) to the gateways.

8 4 PDC Server: Operation and Visualization 4.1 Current alarms Figure 4: Current alarms The incoming and outgoing alarms of the different alarm classes are displayed in a 1-hour time window. Different colors can be allocated to the alarms of different alarm classes. (See chapter 6: Master data - Alarm classes) First/Last Number of Alarm Date and time of the corresponding alarm Abundance of an alarm Type Type of alarm, incoming or outgoing KKS Alarm KraftwerkKennzeichen (power plant abbreviation) Short description of the alarm, as stored in the database Acknowledge alarm Click to acknowledge the alarm. The alarm information will be entered in the Historical Alarms list. IPKS GmbH 2007 All rights reserved 6

4.2 Historical alarms Figure 5: Historical alarms Historical alarms can be displayed for time periods of 1-6, 12 or 24 hours, starting with the current time of day.

9 4.2 Historical alarms Figure 5: Historical alarms Historical alarms can be displayed for time periods of 1-6, 12 or 24 hours, starting with the current time of day. Available sorting criteria are: acknowledged, not acknowledged, coming, going, or both (coming and going). The data can be exported to an Excel file. The alarms from the different alarm groups and plant sections are displayed according to the specified sorting criteria (acknowledged, unacknowledged, coming, going). - is the alarm list's basic setting. Click to view the current alarm status with respect to time. IPKS GmbH 2007 All rights reserved 7

10 4.3 Curves Figure 6: Selected curves Curves are displayed in definable curve windows as current or historical curves. In the Historical Alarms window, click to view the status of the alarm-triggering analog value in a curve window. The curve values can be exported to an Excel file.

11 5 PDC Server: Master data 5.1 Process data Figure 7: MasterData-Process Data The Process Data window allows you define, change and delete the master data of the process values. When the PDC Server is installed, the process values from the existing TELEPERM M system will be transferred. IPKS GmbH 2007 All rights reserved 9

5.2 Plant sections Figure 8: MasterData-Plant Sections Use the Data Groups window to define new plant sections or to change or delete existing plant

12 5.2 Plant sections Figure 8: MasterData-Plant Sections Use the Data Groups window to define new plant sections or to change or delete existing plant sections. When the PDC Server is installed, the plant sections from the existing TELEPERM M system will be transferred. 5.3 Graph definition Figure 9: MasterData-Graph Definition Use the Graph Definition window to define, change or delete graph windows and allocate graphs to specific windows. When the PDC Server is installed, the graph definitions from the existing TELEPERM M system will be transferred. IPKS GmbH 2007 All rights reserved 10

14 5.6 User Administration The User Administration tool allows you to manage PDC Server access: Create new user accounts or change and delete existing accounts, and define the access rights for the individual users of the PDC Server. Users can be allocated to user groups with specific rights, for example, the right to access specific Web pages. 6 Data backup All PDC Server data is saved in tables of the MS SQL Server database. These database tables can be archived using the standard MS SQL Server backup functions. All data storage media supported by the SQL Server, such as DVD, tape, network drives, etc., can be used as backup media. It is also possible to specify the period (daily, weekly,...) after which alarm and curve archives are automatically transferred to Excel tables and saved. IPKS GmbH 2007 All rights reserved 12
