UNICORN ifix Integration

1 application note Protein Purification Control Software UNICORN ifix Integration Introduction Market requirements today are focused on solutions that deliver optimal performce in terms of: Time to market Cost efficiency Reliability d high quality Large pharmaceutical production plts contain my components that must work smoothly together. One key element in plt architecture is the information magement strategy. The problem of trsferring the various components into integrated plt becomes obvious when different components speak different lguages. However, if a unified lguage is used trslation becomes unnecessary d efficiency increases. OPC provides this kind of unified communication lguage among modules in a process plt. OPC is a stdard specification that allows data magement from y data source within a production environment. OPC defines a stdard set of interfaces allowing the creation of a client/server model where y OPC client (y application interested in data) c communicate with y OPC server (y application providing data). UNICORN supports the following OPC stdards: Security Data Access (DA) Alarms & Events (A&E) Historical Data Access (HDA) Any OPC client c communicate with y OPC server (local or remote) since the interfaces required for communication are guarteed to be the same for all servers. A local OPC server is a server found on the same machine as the OPC client, a remote OPC server is a server found on a different machine th the OPC client. Objective This application note describes how UNICORN Run Time Data c be viewed d stored to a database by a third party application by using OPC as communication platform. Products used The following products were used for this application: A. Intellution as a vendor for OPC Client. The software used is ifix 3.0 d I/O Driver Ver 7.32c B. Windows 2000 or 2000 Server Operating System C. UNICORN 4.11 The OPC Client d OPC Server are located in separate PC's. Table 1. shows the setup used for this application note. The PC's communicate via TCP/IP. Table 1. PC 1 PC 2 ifix 3.0 UNICORN 4.11 I/O driver ver. 7.32c ÄKTAFPLC WIN 2000 Server WIN 2000 UNICORN 4.11 (Demo) Implementation In this example ifix 3.0 is used for SCADA/HMI while I/O Driver Ver 7.32c is the OPC client driver. Table 1 shows where each component needs to be installed. Note: Intellution I/O Driver Ver 7.323c supports the OPC Data Access Server only. Alarm & Events Server will be available in the future versions. The procedure in this application note assumes that user is familiar with Intellution products (ifix 3.0 d I/O driver) AA, p1

2 1 Configuring SCADA This step provides ifix with information about which tool to use d where to locate the UNICORN OPC Server. Toolbox Database Mager SCU Historical Trend Assign Mission Control Datalink Stamper System Tree Workspace Fig 3. Fig Launch ifix 3.0 program (Fig 1). 1.2 Click the SCU icon to open the configuration window. 1.6 In I/O Driver Server connection windows select Use Local OPC Client Driver Connect. 1.7 This will open the Power Tool window (Fig 4). 2 Configuring Server, Groups d Items This step instructs how to select OPC server as well as how to create groups d OPC items. Start PLC SCADA configuration Add OPC Server Add Group Add Item Fig Click the SCADA configuration icon (Fig 2). 1.4 Click? (I/O Driver Name: ) OPC OPC Client v7.32c OK Add. OPC OPC Client v7.32c should appear in Configured I/O Drivers window. Click OK. 1.5 Double click OPC in the PLC symbol (Fig 1) d the text OPC will appear underneath SIM after step 1.4 is completed. Fig For this example we will use the following: Server name: Fplcf300. Group name: Event_Analog. Item name: Flow, Pressure, UV, etc. 2.2 Click Add OPC server icon. 2.3 Select OpcUNI0.opcDA2ServerS0.1 OK. 2.4 Type Server Name (Fplcf300), check the Enable box AA, p2

3 2.5 Chge server Location to Remote. 2.6 Click Browse Network, navigate to find STATION1 (name of PC where UNICORN resides) OK. Note: The Add Group icon is now highlighted. 2.7 Click Add Group, type in the group name (Event_Analog), check the Enable box. The add item icon will now be highlighted. 2.8 Click Add Item, type in the item name (Flow), check the Enable box, d click Browse Server button. 2.9 Navigate to find the desired item, click OK. The item will now appear in the Item ID (Fig 5). I/O Address Editor Fig Description: enter the desired description. 3.6 Addressing: Driver: select OPC Client v7.32c. Fig Repeat this action until all the desired groups created d all items are selected Press the Start button (Fig 4) to begin retrieving data from the OPC Server. 3 Creating Process Database ifix reads process information from the OPC Server d saves it in process databases. These databases are the primary source of process data for most ifix applications. The main tool for creating d maging process databases is the Database Mager. 3.7 I/O Address: Server;Group;ItemID[;AccessPath] Click the I/O address editor button d replace the following: Server with: Fplcf300. Group with: Event_Analog. ItemID with: Fplcf300.EVENT.ANALOG.Flow [;AccessPath] with ;; The information should be exactly the same as entered in steps: 2.4, 2.7, d 2.9 (Item ID). Click OK when finish. 3.8 Engineering unit; enter the Low Limit, High Limit, d Units. 3.9 Click Save Click Yes at Place Block On/Off S? Screen Repeat steps 3.3 through 3.10 for other items When all items programmed, from main menu, View Refresh (Fig 7). In this step we will show how to create Analog Input in the database. Use the same procedure for other types of data (Analog Output, Digital Input or Output, etc). 3.1 Click Database Mager icon (Fig 1). 3.2 Check Open Local Node OK. 3.3 From main menu Blocks Add select AI for the alog input block. This will open the Analog Input editor block (Fig 6). 3.4 Tag Name: FLOW. Fig AA, p3

4 4 Storing Process Data in Database In step 3 we created a process database. The data shown is the latest data received. In this step data will be stored until user mually stops the data recording. 4.1 From Main menu click Historical Trend Assign icon (Fig 1). This will open Historical Assign screen (Fig 8). Check the X Hour Files box to select the duration of file to be recorded. In this example we select 24 Hour Files. Fig From the menu, select Group Add to open the configuration screen (Fig 9). 4.3 Click the? in Tagname: field. 4.4 A window similar to Figure 11 will appear. Follow the same steps to select the tagnames (steps 5.4 to 5.7). 4.5 Click Add button. The item will appear in Tagname Window. 4.6 Repeat 4.3 to 4.5 until all Tags are selected. 4.7 Select the sc Rate. 4.8 Enter appropriate Limit. The limit in this case is similar to Hysterisis. 4.9 When completed the Configuration screen should look like Figure 9. Click Save Chges to exit Save the file, File Save As. Type in the File name To begin storing data, click the Mission Control icon (Fig 1) In the Mission Control screen, click HTC tab d click Start to begin storing data To stop data collection, repeat 4.11 d 4.12 above, but press Stop instead. 5 Displaying Animated Data (Flow Scheme) This step describes how to display data in the imation screen (HMI), select predefined imated objects such as valves, pumps, etc. d link the object to the Process Database. 5.1 From System Tree (Fig 1) right click Pictures New Picture Finish. This will open a new Workspace. 5.2 From Toolbox, click Datalink Stamper icon (Fig 1), to open the Datalink windows (Fig 10). Fig Click the button on the Source area to open Expression Builder screen (Fig 11). 5.4 Select FIX Database Tab. 5.5 Click on FIX in Node Names column. 5.6 Select the Tag from Tag Names column. 5.7 Click the F_* d select F_CV from Field Names column. Click OK. 5.8 Fill in the Whole Digits d Decimal boxes d click OK (Fig 10). Fig A stamp symbol will appear. Click the position on the Workspace where you wt the data to be placed AA, p4

5 Fig Fill in the information in the General tab as shown (Fig 13). Fig Hold down Ctrl key d press W to chge the Workspace from Configure mode to Run mode The real data should be displayed Similarly, to imate a valves, pipes, pump, etc, select the predefine imated object from the Dynamo Sets folder in the System Tree (Fig 1) Double click the category (e.g. ValveAnim ) to open the window that shows imated valve options Select the object d drop it onto the Workspace Select the source of data (the procedure is the same as steps ) See ifix 3.0 mual for different ways of imate the valve. 6 Viewing Stored Data This step describes how to display stored data in the form of TREND. 6.1 From System Tree (Fig 1) expd Dynamo Sets d double click Historical. 6.2 Click d drag the chart into workspace. A chart configuration dialog box will open (Fig 12). Fig Click the Chart tab. Click the Hist.NODE.TAG.F_CV. 6.5 From drop down box, select Hist.FIX.FLOW.F_CV AA, p5
