Introduction

PlantScape Vista provides a powerful, versatile software platform for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) supporting small to medium process applications.

PlantScape Vista makes use of proven technologies that include:

• a flexible Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Client/Server architecture for process visualization, alarming, history collection, and reporting functions;

• standard displays including process groups, loop detail, trending, alarm, event and setpoint programmer screens to get your application running quickly

• graphic display builders for developing custom HMI displays • an extensive set of communication interfaces to Honeywell products such as HC900 plus third party

interfaces • open architecture supporting OPC Server and Client, ODBC, and Excel Data Exchange With PlantScape Vista, the user simply configures the system instead of building it from the ground up. The PlantScape Vista system allows operation to begin as soon as point and hardware configuration is complete, with a minimum of system building required. Your system is up and running in minimum time!

Architecture

The basic system components of a PlantScape Vista solution are: • Windows 2000 Professional - based PC server • Windows 2000 Professional based clients; • Industry standard TCP/IP communication; • Object-based configuration tools; • Honeywell and/or third party controllers One of the most important features of the PlantScape Vista solution is the reliable and efficient communications strategy. Communications between the server and clients has been optimized for use over poor quality, low bandwidth links. In addition, communication between the server and controllers is also optimized to reduce the required bandwidth.

System Overview PlantScape Vista is modular, flexible, supervisory control software that incorporates proven, open-system technologies. Running on standard Intel-based computers, PlantScape Vista provides comprehensive facilities in an economical and easy to use package. PlantScape Vista integrates with a wide range of Honeywell and third-party devices, thereby leveraging existing control investments and enabling complete integration of process information. Process information is accessible by operators, process engineers and plant level computer systems, allowing control and monitoring for higher productivity, reductions in costs, higher product consistency, and less waste.

PlantScape Vista is a complete system ‘out of the box’ with features including:

• Honeywell Display Build Technology – Honeywell’s HMIWeb Technology™ allows human-machine interfaces (HMIs), application data, and business data to be integrated. HMIWeb is Honeywell’s next-generation operator interface technology, which uses HTML as the native display format. To preserve older configurations or to continue that development, the established Display Builder graphics build environment is also available and displays may be intermixed within PlantScape Vista’s Station HMI.

• Real-time Database – PlantScape Vista features a true Client/Server architecture where a real-

time database on the server provides data to a number of client applications including: • Operator stations (up to 5) • Third party applications (such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access) • OPC clients

• Open Systems – PlantScape Vista incorporates the latest open technologies and standards including ODBC, Visual Basic and OLE for Process Control (OPC) to make integration to business and information systems easier.

• Advanced System Infrastructure – PlantScape Vista includes a complete infrastructure that includes, an alarm/event management subsystem, configurable reports, extensive history collection and a variety of standard system trends.

• Built-in System Displays – Standard Detail displays for points are an example of the 300 plus

standard displays that are included with the system. Other examples include, trend displays, group displays, setpoint programmer displays, recipe displays, alarm and event displays and system diagnostic displays. Users can operate from these displays and, if they choose, create custom displays. PlantScape Vista provides maximum usability and flexibility at the same time!

•

• Integrated On-line Documentation – PlantScape Vista gives users quick access to system

information and supports the latest Internet technologies. It features HTML (hypertext markup language) documentation, on-line help and on-line technical support via Knowledge Builder. System users won’t need to search through multiple sets of documentation.

• Interfaces – Data acquisition and supervisory control is available from a wide variety of Honeywell products including the HC900 Hybrid Controller, UMC800 controller, UDC controllers, DPR and DR recorders, Trendview recorders, S9000/620 Controllers, Micromax LPU’s as well as popular PLC’s such as those from Allen-Bradley. The Modbus interface supports many controller products, serially or over Ethernet. OPC client capability provides an interface to third party products and systems with OPC Data Access servers.

• Scalability – As system requirements change over the lifecycle of the system, and as your plant expands, so to can PlantScape Vista. Starting from the smallest 50 point database, PlantScape Vista can expand up to 2000 Points using up to 5 Stations.

Operator Interface PlantScape’s Human Machine Interface utilizes two versions of Display Builder. Honeywell’s newest display technology, HMIWeb, creates displays based on Web standards using HTML as the native display format, allowing access to process graphic displays from either the secure PlantScape Vista Station environment or directly from Microsoft’s Internet Explorer using a rotary Station license. The use of an open, industry standard file format reduces engineering time while allowing users to take advantage of existing knowledge and reuse displays between systems. Full support for displays from earlier PlantScape release file formats (.dsp) ensures direct migration path for existing PlantScape release systems. These benefits are all achieved while maintaining PlantScape Vista’s secure access, robust design, and high performance.

PlantScape Vista’s Station HMI allows for state of the art, object based graphics to provide a powerful interface for the user. The use of industry standards, such as Microsoft Windows 2000, Ethernet, HTML and the Internet, minimize operator training by providing a familiar operating environment at all times. The Station environment makes extensive use of user configurable pull-down menus and toolbars to allow easy, intuitive navigation and fast access to key process data. The usability of the operator interface is further enhanced with features such as last command recall, copy and paste, live video integration, ActiveX documents, scripting, and support for standard peripherals such as:

• sound cards, • touch screens, • dual screen video cards, and • trackballs.

Critical information is conveyed using dedicated annunciators for alarms, controller communication failures and operator/controller messages. A dedicated alarm line at the bottom of each graphic shows the most recent (or oldest) highest priority, unacknowledged alarm at all times.

Figure 6. Standard Alarm Summary Display

Each of the configured alarms can be assigned a priority ranging from Journal, Low, High to Urgent. The Event Summary stores online history of the last 30,000 events that occur in the system, including alarms, acknowledgements, operator sign-on and operator actions such as setpoint changes.

Historization and Trending History collection is available over a wide range of frequencies in both average and snapshot/production formats. A large amount of history can be retained on line, with automatic archiving allowing retention of and access to unlimited quantities of historical data. Once collected historical data is available for use by trend facilities, custom displays, reports, application programs, spreadsheets and ODBC compliant databases. Flexible Trend Configuration allows trends to be configured on line as necessary using standard displays by simply entering the point and selecting the parameter from the database. Any of the history collection intervals may be used as the basis. Real-time and historical data are presented together on the same trend. Archived history may be accessed automatically by simply scrolling to, or directly entering, the appropriate time and date.

Reporting The supervisory system provides many built-in reporting functions. Standard report descriptions include:

• Alarm / Event Log reports all alarms and events in a specified time period. By using filters, this report provides an operator and/or point trace facility.

• Alarm Duration Log reports the time of occurrence and elapsed time before return-to-normal for specific alarms in a specified time period.

• Integrated Excel Report provides the ability to launch a report built using Microsoft Excel in a similar way to all other standard reports. Microsoft Excel can access the PlantScape Vista database using the Open Data Access feature.

• Free Format Report Writer generates reports in flexible formats, which may include math and statistical functions such as Max/Min and standard deviation.

• Batch Reports are used to collect history for a set of points (up to 50) and events that occurred relative to a process production run. Static batch data may also be added to the report such as batch number, customer name, lot size, etc. Reports can be exported as .txt (text format), .csv, or .xls (spreadsheet) with worksheets for operator entries, history data, event data, and a graphical batch plot. Multiple reports may be active, each event-activated.

• Point Attribute Log reports on points displaying specific attributes, such as off-scan, bad data, and alarm inhibit.

• Point Cross-Reference determines database references for specified points to enable easier system maintenance when points are decommissioned or renamed.

Reports may be generated periodically, or on an event-driven or demand basis and may be configured on line. Report output may be directed to screen, printer, file, or directly to another computer for analysis or viewing electronically.

Security To maintain system security, PlantScape provides configurable security levels, control levels and area assignments. These may be configured for each individual operator or alternatively for each operator station. Up to six security levels limit operator access to PlantScape functions:

Level 1: Signed-off mode Level 2: View only mode with alarm acknowledge Level 3: Level 2 plus control of field parameters Level 4: Level 3 plus field parameters of level 4, configure standard system infrastructure

such as reports Level 5: Level 4 plus user configured field parameters Level 6: Unlimited access

Operator sign-on/sign-off security provides up to 255 control levels to limit operator control of individual items of plant and equipment. Any actions initiated by an operator are logged in the Event database by an operator identifier. In addition any control actions to a given point is only allowed if the control level configured in the operator profile exceeds the level assigned to the point. An operator password consists of 5-6 alphanumeric characters and is encrypted. Operators may change their own passwords, however a new password can’t be the same as the last 10 passwords used in the previous 3 months. When signing on, three unsuccessful attempts will lock the operator out for a lock-out period. Once signed on (logged on), an operator can sign off (log off) at any time or will be automatically signed off after a defined period of inactivity. Area assignments limit operator access to graphics, alarms and point data to assigned areas, providing effective plant partitioning. Individual operator profiles, including security levels, control levels and area assignments, are activated when operators sign on to the system. In addition, area profiles can be created enabling plant areas to be enabled or disabled for control, between certain time and date criteria.

Page 12


Scripting PlantScape Vista makes extensive use of the VBScript scripting language throughout the supervisory system. User’s can create a script that will run when a display is active or scripts can also be attached to server objects like point parameters, alarm events, report completion and other events.

Display Scripting Users can extend the functionality of graphic displays by writing event-based scripts for display objects. Scripts are typically used to create animation that is not possible with standard functionality.

Server Scripting Server Scripting encompasses two features. The first provides scripting support to allow the behavior of the Server and its run time objects to be extended. Examples of server objects are: • Server • Points and Parameters • Reports • Areas • Tasks The user can configure these scripts to be run by the server either periodically or when a specified event occurs. In addition, standard displays are supplied to allow the user to monitor the status of running scripts. The second feature is the Server OLE Automation Object Model that allows Automation Controllers to access and manipulate objects that exist within the Server’s run time environment. Automation Controllers include products such as Microsoft Visual Basic, Word, Excel, Access and any programming environment that can use Microsoft COM objects.

*HC900 HC Designer configuration tool may operate concurrently on the server/station PC. On-line Configuration – It is possible to view, manipulate and analyze all data in the system from any Operator Station in the system, including those operating remotely via dial-up modem links. Changes to the database are made while the system is running. System security features prevent unauthorized access. Diagnostics – Once a controller is configured and placed in service, PlantScape Vista automatically performs diagnostic scanning of the device. Additionally, PlantScape Vista performs checks on data integrity of all data acquired from the controller. Should an invalid or timed-out response be received, the data is ignored and the transaction is recorded as an error. Statistics are kept and displayed by the system on errors encountered in communication by means of a communications barometer. The barometer value will increment for every failed call and decrements for each successful call. In addition, the system alarms separate marginal and failure conditions based on user-defined limits to advise the operator of the controller in error. Communications statistics are displayed on a standard system display and are available through the reporting sub-system or custom displays. If a controller fails, all point parameter values that are sourced from it are indicated as bad to the operator.

Application Enablers PlantScape Vista provides powerful application enablers with configurable (rather than programmatic) facilities to support individual application requirements. Application implementation time is greatly reduced, providing extremely cost effective automation. Recipe Management - General PlantScape Vista Recipe Management provides facilities to create recipes and download them to nominated process units. Each recipe may have up to thirty items, with recipes chained together to form larger recipes if required. Recipe items may be used to set ingredient targets, set alarm limits, set timers and place equipment into correct operating state. Items may be individually enabled for scaling. Recipe Management / SP Program Support - Specific to Honeywell Controllers Recipe management and SP program support is provided specific to Honeywell’s HC900, UMC800, S9000, and Micromax controllers. For each controller type, Set Point programs (profiles) may be created and stored in PlantScape Vista, then directed to a controller. Recipes consisting of up to 50 items may be also stored in PlantScape Vista, selected and loaded to controllers. The HC900 and UMC800 support “combined recipes” allowing SP Profiles and up to 50 items (variables) to be downloaded in combination. For HC900 and UMC800, the complete setpoint profile selected is pre-plotted over a single page and the PV is plotted against it after the process started (stopped when in Hold mode), allowing for easy program supervision by operators (see Fig.11).

Open Data Access – Whenever another application requires data from the PlantScape database, Open Data Access is required. Some examples of when Open Data Access is required are:

• reading data into a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet • running a query on the database from Microsoft Access • an OPC Client requires point data

Figure 10. HC900 SP Programmer Setup/Operation Tabular Display

Figure 11. HC900 SP Programmer Pre-Plot

Page 15


Each of the instances of any of the above is considered a ‘user’ of Open Data Access. There are three main components to Open Data Access that are described below:

The ODBC Driver allows the Server database to be queried using SQL commands from ODBC client applications, such as Microsoft Access. The Server database is exposed as a number of read-only ODBC tables including Points, Event History and Process History. Driver features include:

• Open read-only access to plant real-time and historical data • Throttling to prevent performance impact • Fully functional examples for productivity improvements

It is optimized for Microsoft Access and hence other ODBC ad hoc query/report applications. OPC Server – The PlantScape OPC Server capability allows a third-party OPC client application to read/write PlantScape Vista point parameters. The OPC Server is based on Honeywell's HCI server toolkit, which in turn is based on OPC specification V2.0. It supports all mandatory OPC interfaces. The OPC Server is included with all systems. Network Server – The Network Server provides extremely efficient access to the PlantScape Vista database for network-based applications such as Microsoft Excel Data Exchange.

• Microsoft Excel Data Exchange allows Microsoft Excel to obtain real-time and historical data from the PlantScape Vista system. This option provides read and write access to data in one or more PlantScape Vista databases, providing a powerful data consolidation and reporting tool. Wizards for Microsoft Excel are included to help set up the data to be collected.

Three ODA licenses are included in the Vista R400 system for the above applications.

Alarm Pager – This is a software option. With this option, point alarms may be sent to an alarm paging or messaging system. Up to 100 pagers can be configured, and each pager has a schedule of operation so that users are only paged when they are on call. The information they receive is what normally appears on the alarm summary. For each phone number configured, the user may specify the days of the week and times of the day that the pager is in use. Points can be scheduled to ring one or more of the configured pagers

Engineering Tools Quick Builder – Quick Builder, allows users to configure points, controllers, stations and printers. Quick Builder leverages a relational database engine (Microsoft Jet Engine) to provide greater productivity through capabilities such as filtering user views of the database, multipoint edit facilities and the intuitive Windows style interface. Other features that the relational database provide are the user-defined fields that can be used for termination schedules, wire numbers, etc., and a standard set of reports. Additions and modifications to the PlantScape Vista database can be made while the system is on-line.
