A. INTRODUCTION TO PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEM

YME Training Center CS3KR3-OPE 1ST Edition Jan 2002 A-1

A. INTRODUCTION TO PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEM This chapter deals with the introduction to process control system, system concepts of distributed control system and the development history of process control system.

A.1. PROCESS CONTROL BY CONTROLLERS A temperature control loop using a controller is shown in the figure below. The operator sets the temperature “setpoint (SV)”, and the controller automatically adjusts the “manipulated variable (MV)” i.e. output (opening of valve which controls steam flow) so as to minimize the deviation between measured (temperature) “process variable (PV)” and target value “setpoint”. The process of adjusting the manipulated variable to minimize the deviation between process variable and setpoint is called “Feedback control”. The indicating (PID) controller displays the measured process variable (temperature of the liquid of the tank), and using a PID (P-Proportional, I-Integral and D-Derivative) control algorithm, computes the manipulated variable output (steam flow) that will minimize the deviation between process variable and setpoint temperatures; i.e. it controls the tank temperature.

A.2. PROCESS CONTROL FUNCTIONS The method to directly control process is roughly divided into two categories: the loop control that inputs analog measured values (including feedback control and feed forward control) and the sequential control that inputs operating sequences and process status signals.

♦ Feedback Control Control that acts to correct the process variable (e.g. Temperature in a tank) to agree with the target value (setpoint) by comparing both.

♦ Feed forward Control

Control which takes a corrective action by measuring the disturbances (e.g. Ambient temperature) and directly driving the valve before it affects the process.

♦ Sequential Control

Control that successively advances each control step in accordance with the pre-determined sequence.



A.3. PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS To perform temperature control as discussed before, a control system ( a device to perform the control computation) is required. There are many control systems available, which are generally classified into analog, and digital control system. Analog Control System Control device that makes a control computation with analog signals (e.g. Voltage) using operational amplifiers etc. I this case sequence control is not available. Digital Control System Control device that makes control computation with digital values using a processor (processing unit). Not only the feedback and feed forward controls (called DDC-Direct digital controls collectively) but also sequential control is available.

Figure: Overview of Digital Control System DDC – Direct Digital Control Generally referred to control in which the controller functions are implemented with digital equipment. Inputs and outputs of the controller may be analog signals. Also refers to a supervisory control scheme when a higher-level computer drives the output of a digital controller directly.

A.4. DEVELOPMENT HISTROY OF CONTROL SYSTEM Electronic computers were first introduced into the process control filed in 1960’s. Digital control technology developed widely in the following years. The purpose of introducing computers was mainly (1) data logging and (2) set point control (SPC) at first.

Figure: Data Logging Figure: Set Point Control As the introduction of computers into process control advanced, controller functions were superseded by computers, and DDC in which computers directly controlled processes began to be employed. In the early stages, the control system was centralized where a central computer executed not only monitoring and operation but also all process controls. The most important reason was cost effectiveness. The advent of microprocessors greatly changed the above situation. The study theme moved to how diversification could be implemented (risk distribution, function distribution, etc) and how exclusiveness and versatility could be united. The distributed control system (DCS) now has inputs points distributed for 1 loop, 8 loops, 16 loops and upto 80 loops to be able to apply approximately when seen from processes.

B. SYSTEM OVERVIEW

YME Training Center CS3KR3-OPE 1ST Edition Jan 2002 B-1

B. SYSTEM OVERVIEW This chapter describes various system components of CS3000 system.

B.1. DCS MINIMUM SYSTEM COMPONENTS For the Distributed Control system to function two major components are necessary.

a. The Engineering / Operator Station – From which the operator controls the plant and the same component can also be used to do configuration changes. The operator station or the Man Machine Interface (MMI) and is called the Human Interface Station (HIS) in CS3000 R3 system while the component used for configuration is called the Engineering station (ENG). Both these components can reside in one hardware.

b. The Field Control Station – which is the interface between the Field

instruments and the control room. This is the component where all the control functions are executed and hence is a very important and critical component in the overall system.

c. The above two components are connected via a real time control network

which communicates all the parameters to and from the Field Control Station to the Human Interface station. This network is called the V-Net / VL-Net in CS3000 R3 system.

The above three are the minimum required components for the Distributed Control System to function. The number of the HIS and the FCS for a particular plant is broadly decided on the following basis. The number of Field Control Station to control a process plant is decided based on the Input/Output count, Input/Output segregation based on the different sections of the plant, Field Control station CPU load and the Field Control Station hardware capabilities. The number of Human Interface Stations is decided based on the number of operators required to control the process plant considering number of screens required during startup and shutdown situation. The operation grouping / security to control the various sections of the plant is also a criteria in deciding the number of Human Interface Stations.

♦ Bus Converter (BCV)

The V net bus converter connects a V net on the CS 3000 system and a CS 3000 on another domain to enable system integration. A domain refers to stations that are connected to a single V net network. A CS 3000 system V net and HF Bus (in case of Centum-V and Centum-XL Systems) or RL-Bus (in case of Micro-XL Systems) can be connected using a bus converter.

♦ EXAOPC Server (EXAOPC)

Exaopc is an OPC (OLE for Process Control, OPC is a standard interface developed by the OPC Foundation) server, which can be connected to a variety of DCS (Distributed Control Systems) and provides an OPC client with process data via OPC interface. With the package, the OPC client can acquire and define process data from DCSes and receive alarm events.

♦ Plant Resource Manager (PRM)

Field networks have been developed in recent years, and field devices have become more intelligent. These intelligent field devices communicate digitally to the Field Control Station. Plant Resource Manager handles field device management and maintenance work. Plant Resource Manager maintains a historical record of device parameters and maintenance records. Implements centralized management of device management information such as the device list, inspection record, schedule, and parts lists.

B. SYSTEM OVERVIEW


B.4.1 FCS HARDWARE The following is the brief description of hardware components of all types of FCS. Some of the hardware components are specific to that type of FCS.

♦ Field Control Unit (FCU) The field Control station (FCS) basically consists of two parts – The Field Control Unit (FCU) and the Node. The FCU consists of the Station control cards.

♦ Control Bus Coupler Unit

The Coupler is where the V-Net or the VL-Net is installed into the FCS Station. It has provision for two-bus connection. The coupler unit couples the processor card installed in the Field Control Unit (FCU) to the V-Net or the VL-Net Cable by performing signal isolation and the signal level conversion.

♦ Power Supply Unit (PSU)

For Compact type of FCS (PFCD), this unit receives power directly from the main source while for the KFCS and LFCS, this unit receives power from the distribution board. This unit converts the main AC voltage into an isolated DC voltage for distribution to cards and units mounted in the Filed Control Unit (FCU)

♦ Back Up Batteries

These are rechargeable battery units installed in the PSU, backs up the memory in the processor card during the main power failure. It can hold the memory for about 72 hours. If the power failure is more than this specified time, the FCS has to be loaded off-line, for it to function normally.

♦ Remote Input/Output (RIO) Interface Card and RIO Bus.

The RIO Interface card is used in the LFCS. The interface card performs communication via the RIO coupler unit between multiple nodes connected on the RIO bus.

♦ Process Input Output Units(PIO) or Input/Output Units (IOU)

These are Modules that perform the conversion processing and transmission of filed process signals to the CPU card.

♦ Node Interface Unit (NIU)

This component send the analog and the contact i/o signals from the field to the Field control Unit (FCU) for processing and it offers the function to supply power to the Input/Output Units (IOU)

B. SYSTEM OVERVIEW


♦ Node

Node consists of Node Interface Unit (NIU) and Input/Output Units (IOU) incase of LFCS (for RIO) while the Node consists of Input/Output Units in case of KFCS (For FIO).

♦ ESB Bus Coupler Unit

The ESB bus coupler unit couples the ESB bus interface card installed in the FCU to the ESB bus by modulating and demodulating the signals. This is applicable for Field Control station with FIO (KFCS)

♦ Processor Card

The Processor Card performs calculations and control computation. In case of redundant CPU models of the LFCS and KFCS, there are two processor cards. One of the cards is in control status and the other is in the standby status. Each of these two processor unit have two processors or the CPU, which perform the same control computation. A collator compares the computation results during each computation cycle. If the computation results from the two CPUs match, the collator determines that the computation is normal and sends data to locations such as the main memory and bus interface unit. Because the main memory as an ECC, transient bit inversion errors occurring in the main memory can be rectified.

Figure: Pair and Spare function of the CPU Card for LFCS.

B. SYSTEM OVERVIEW


If the computation results from CPU1 and CPU2 do not match, the collator judges that a computation error has occurred, and the control will be transferred to the standby side. The standby processor unit performs the same computation as the control side, even though it is in the standby state. Therefore, it can immediately resume the output of control computation data to the bus interface when it takes over the control Therefore, CPUs within the same unit collate each other’s computation data, being sure to detect any computation errors. Because the unit on standby performs the same control computation concurrently with the control side (even though it is in standby status), it takes over the control computation at any point of time without interruption (bumplessly). This is called the pair and spare function of the CPU card.

E. OPERTAION AND MONITORING WINDOWS

YME Training Center CS3KR3-OPE 1ST Edition Jan 2002 E-1

E. OPERTAION AND MONITORING WINDOWS Operation and monitoring windows provided by the HIS are of two types - System windows and user-defined windows. The operation and monitoring windows include built-in system windows and user-defined windows whose applications and display contents can be defined as desired at system generation.

E.1. TYPES OF OPERATION AND MONITORING WINDOWS

♦ System Windows The operation and monitoring windows built into the system are called “system windows.” The system windows are for example System Message window, Faceplate window, Tuning window etc.

♦ User-Defined Windows

The operation and monitoring windows whose display content can be defined as desired by the user at system generation are called “user-defined window.” As user-defined windows can be defined in accordance with the target of operation and monitoring, they can play a central role during the operation and monitoring performed by the operator. Graphic windows and Trend windows with such attributes can be created as “user- defined” windows. The various types of windows broadly divided into two types as stated above will be discussed during the course.



E.2. SYSTEM MESSAGE WINDOW System message window appears as the operation and monitoring function is started. It is a fixed window, which does not clear even when the clear screen key is pressed. The Blinking of the Process and System alarm icons prompts the operator when either of the alarm occurs.

G.3. TAG PROPERTIES The three main properties of the tag that has influence on the operation and monitoring of the tag are

♦ Importance level or Tag Mark ♦ Security Level ♦ Alarm Handling level

G.3.1 IMPORTANCE LEVEL OR TAG MARK This mark indicates the tag priority level of the displayed function block. All function blocks are provided with tag marks to reflect their priority levels. The table below shows the relationship between tag marks and tag priority levels:

Important Tag

Reconfirmation required

General Tag

No reconfirmation required

Auxiliary Tag

No reconfirmation required

The user can specify whether the priority for each tag mark should be acknowledged or not. This specification can be performed to suit the user’s needs, regardless of the user security. The display color of the tag mark indicates the alarm status of the function block. G.3.2 SECURITY LEVEL Each tag is assigned with a security level in the Function block definition builder while configuration. Based on the user name privileges and the assigned tag security level, restriction of the operation and monitoring is imposed on the faceplate or the tag. The following table shows the relationship.



MONITORING OPERATION LEVEL OFFUSER ONUSER ENGUSER OFFUSER ONUSER ENGUSER

1 O O O O O O 2 O O O 1* O O 3 O O O 2* X O 4 O O O X X X 5 X O O X O O 6 X O O X X O 7 X X O X X X 8 X X X X X X

1* - Only the alarm settings, SV, MV and block mode can be changed. 2* - Only the SV, MV and block mode can be changed. Table: Tag security level and privileges Monitoring refers to the viewing or display of the Faceplate while operation refers to change of parameters like Block Mode, SV, MV, Alarm settings etc. G.3.3 ALARM HANDLING LEVEL The alarm handling of a tag is also defined in the Function block definition builder like the security level. There are basically four different alarm levels – High priority, Medium Priority, Low priority and Logging. The following table indicated the alarm action for these four types of alarm.

Normal Alarm Action Alarm Priority Alarm display flashing action Repeat Warning

High-Priority Locked X

Medium-Priority Locked

Low-Priority Non-Locked

I.3. GRAPHIC WINDOW WITH OVERVIEW ATTRIBUTE An overview window shows the overview status of the windows and tags and also window call function can be assigned. This is an index to a portion of the plant and is used to navigate to different windows based on the user defined assignment.

Figure: Components of Overview Objects



I.4. TREND WINDOW Trend recording function of HIS acquires data from the field controls station (FCS) and displays changes of the acquired data in a graphical format of parameter variation versus time. I.4.1 TREND STRUCTURE Trend recording function has a three-layered structure.

♦ Trend Block ♦ Trend Window ♦ Trend Point / Pen Window

Figure: Trend function -three-layered structure. I.4.2 TREND BLOCK A trend block is comprised of 16 units of Trend windows. There are 50 trend blocks per HIS. Up to 20 of the 50 trend blocks can be defined in the rotary trend or batch trend format. The remaining 30 trend blocks are defined as trend of other stations. The trend format and sampling period are defined for each trend block.



Therefore One HIS has 50 Trend Blocks Each Trend Block has 16 Trend Windows Each Trend Window has 8 Pens Each of these pens can be assigned to a Tag Parameter like PV, MV etc. TREND WINDOW Eight-pen trend data can be assigned to a Trend window. There are 800 Trend windows per HIS. TREND POINT WINDOW The Trend Point window is called up from the Trend window. One trend pen is displayed in each Trend Point window. There are 6,400 Trend Point windows per HIS.

I.5. TREND DATA ACQUSITION Trend data acquisition function periodically gathers process data from the FCS in accordance with the definition of the Trend record, sampling period and recording span. This acquired data is displayed in Trend window and Trend point window. I.5.1 TARGET TREND DATA All data items, such as PV (CPV), SV, MV and FV, are regarded as target process data of trend acquisition. I.5.2 TREND DATA ACQUISITION TYPES The acquisition types of process data are defined for each trend block. The data acquisition include the following 4 types:

♦ Continuous-Rotary Type By this mode, process data are acquired constantly. Data acquisition starts automatically after starting the HIS. Data acquisition stops when the HIS stops. Acquired data will not be erased after the HIS stop. When the storage capacity becomes full, the oldest data are deleted and replaced by new data.



Figure: Continuous-Rotary acquisition type.

♦ Batch-Stop Type By this type, data acquisition starts and stops according to the received command. If no stop instruction is given, data acquisition will stop automatically when the storage capacity becomes full. The acquisition start and stop commands may be sent from:

• Button on the toolbar of the Trend windows • Graphic window or function key • Sequence Messages Request

Figure: Batch-Stop acquisition type.

♦ Batch-Rotary Type By this type, data acquisition starts and stops according to the received command. If no stop instruction is given, data acquisition will continue until the storage capacity becomes full. Once it is full, the oldest data are deleted and replaced by new data. The acquisition start and stop commands may be sent from:

• Button on the toolbar of the Trend window • Graphic window or function key • Sequence Messages Request



Figure: Batch-Rotary acquisition type.

♦ Trend Acquired by other HIS This type of trend data acquired by other HIS may be referenced in blocks. On the Trend Acquisition Pen Assignment Builder, define the name of other HIS and the number of trend block to be acquired.

Figure: Trend acquired by other HIS.



I.6. SAMPLING PERIOD AND RECORDING SPAN The sampling period of process data are specified for each trend block. The sampling period can be selected from 1 second, 10 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes or 10 minutes. No more than 18 blocks can be specified with the sampling periods of 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes. No more than 2 trend blocks can be specified with the sampling period of 1 second or 10 seconds. The recording span indicates the time to acquire 2,880 samples for each trend graph (maximum number of samples) in the specified sampling period. The table below shows the relationship between trend sampling periods and recording span:

Table: Trend sampling period and recording span. For example, if the trend sampling period is 1 minute, 1 (minute) 2,880 samples = 2,880 minutes = 48 hours = 2 days 2 days of process data may be recorded.

J. ALARM PROCESSING

YME Training Center CS3KR3-OPE 1ST Edition Jan 2002 J-1

J. ALARM PROCESSING The Alarm Processing is a message processing function performed by the HIS when alarm occurs during plant operation. The operator can use the issued alarm to determine what action to take for abnormality and then process the alarm. Alarm priority, which varies with the process and operation, may be distinguished through its operation and color. The operator can perform an acknowledgment action for the alarm output.

J.1. TYPES OF ALARMS The types of alarms that are subject to the alarm processing performed by the HIS is as follows:

♦ System Alarm The system alarm notifies operator of the abnormalities in the hardware and communication errors. The type and contents of the system alarm are predetermined. When a system alarm occurs, the control station outputs a corresponding message. The messages that are output in accordance with the corresponding system alarms are called system alarm messages.

♦ Process Alarm

The process alarm notifies operator of the occurrence and recovery of abnormality in the process. The type and contents of the process alarm are predetermined. A process alarm message is the general term for messages that are output corresponding to the process alarm. The annunciator message is included in the process alarm category. User can define the trigger signal and contents of the annunciator message.

J.2. ALARM PROCESSING FLOW The figure below shows the processing flow for the process alarm. The alarms that occurred in the plant are transmitted to the HIS as an alarm message. Upon reception of this message, the HIS outputs the alarm.

♦ Process Report Window ♦ Historical Report Window

In the process report window, the current status of the function blocks, Digital inputs and outputs are displayed while in the historical message report window, alarm, messages and operation record logged in the hard disk are displayed.

Q.1. PROCESS REPORT WINDOW Process report window displays an overview of the control station process status. The process report is to collect information on the system operating status and displays it in a window or prints to a printer depending on the user’s request. The current status will be displayed or printed. The following two types of reports are available in the Process Report window.

♦ Tag report ♦ I/O report

The Process status window can be displayed using the toolbox.

Figure: To call a process report window. Q.1.1 COMPONENTS OF PROCESS REPORT WINDOW Using the toolbar of the Process Report window, the user can switch the display between the tag report and the I/O report, or print out the most recent status of the reports that are displayed. Both the tag report and I/O report come with their own search dialogs, in which the search conditions such as the station name or the element type can be entered.

Print This button prints out the most recent status of the report that is displayed.



Acknowledge This function is disabled in the Process report window.

Tag Search This button displays the tag reports that meet the search conditions set in the tag report search dialog box. The tab strip selected in the tag report search dialog box will be the object of the SEARCH. The status and values displayed are at the requested time and does not dynamically update. Clicking the button again, the tag report displays the updated report with the same conditions.

Tag search dialog This button calls up the tag report search dialog box.



Q.1.2 TAG REPORT SEARCH AND DISPLAY

Figure: Tag report search dialog of Process report window. There are five search tab strips in tag report search dialog box. Once the search conditions are set, it will not be erased. Therefore, it is convenient to set frequently used search conditions. If the sheet is not selected, default search conditions are searched for. The search conditions such as “range”, “element type” , “state” etc are considered AND conditions and the search is performed based on the same.



Range Any one of the following objects can be searched: all function blocks in a user group, all function blocks within a project, function blocks in a specific station, or function blocks of a specific hierarchy. The names pre-defined by the builders appear in the station name and plant hierarchy name (control drawing name, batch ID, unit instrument tag name) list. Also, a character string containing a wild card such as “ * ” can be set in the station name and plant hierarchy name. Specification examples are given below.

♦ When [%DR0021S010201] is specified Searches for the function block defined in domain 01, station 02, area 01, and control drawing 21.

♦ When [%DR003*] is specified Searches for a function block defined in control drawing block number 30’s.

♦ When [UT1**] is specified Searches for a function block that is a unit instrument with a tag name between UT100 and UT199.

♦ Designating the plant hierarchy The plant hierarchy can be selected and searched in the dialog box as shown below which is called up by clicking the button to the right of the text box. Select the hierarchy name and then click the [OK] button to display the name of the selected hierarchy in the text box.

Element Type Either all elements or specific element is selected and searched. Status One of the following can be used as the search condition: all statuses, function blocks in alarm state, function blocks in AOF state, function blocks in CAL state, or function blocks with operation marks. Moreover, the alarm status to be used as the search condition can be set as desired. Tag In addition to all user-defined tag names and all tag names (user-defined tag names and system tag names), the user can freely set a tag name for search. When setting the tag name, a character string containing a wild card such as “ * ” can be used. Arbitrary Character Up to 32 arbitrary characters can be entered for a search. All characters displayed in the window, such as tag name, tag comment, alarm status, mode or operation mark comment, can be the search object.



Process Value of Tag Item A data item name can be added to process report window for displaying the data value. For an example, a data item [BSTS] can be used to indicate the block status. However, the data item with array data cannot be used. If no data item is designated in the process report window, under the data item column, no data item displays. If the data access fails, [*****] displays.

Figure: Data Item name addition in the Process report search dialog. Conditions Clear This initializes all settings in the displayed sheet to their initial values. Tag Report Display Results of the search in the Tag Report Search dialog box are displayed in the Process Report window (tag report). However, once the tag report display appears, the display report of the search results will not be periodically updated.
