Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems is one of the largest plant manufacturers in the world. We manufacture the devices in a power plant such as boilers, turbines and gas turbines, and also engineer conventional plants consisting of boilers and turbines and combined cycle plants consisting of gas turbines, HRSGs (waste heat recovery boilers) and steam turbines. Additionally, we design and manufacture varied types of power generation facilities using gas engines, diesel engines, wind power, fuel cells and waste materials, and different types of facilities in a power plant (such as desulfurization facilities).

As a company that manufactures the devices in a power plant and engineers power plants, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems started to create its own control system, DIASYS® , from 1970s to provide optimum control for these power generation facilities.

So far, we have released the DIASYS-UP series and the DIASYS-UP/V series employing the latest hardware of each era. For the software that controls each plant, we always use our original logic description language called DIASYS-IDOL that is best suited for plant control.

General

General

DIASYS Netmation® : finally, a control system that integrates the invaluable experience of a plant manufacturer with the latest information technology.

DIASYS Netmation® was released in 2000 and it is the latest control system of the DIASYS® series. DIASYS Netmation® actively incorporates the ever-developing IT technology and uses DIASYS-IDOL++ as the plant control software. DIASYS-IDOL++ is an enhanced version of DIASYS-IDOL which has many successful results and is optimized for plant control. The DIASYS Netmation® system is designed to achieve high reliability which we think, as a designer and manufacturer of plants, is the most important feature. DIASYS Netmation® differs from the old DIASYS® series in three points:

(1) Using the latest IT technology and maintaining the high reliability as before

・ We developed our original card communication technology based on the Internet technology with enhanced reliability and use it to monitor and control plants. The card communication technology is highly reliable and creates only a low traffic load, enabling control and monitoring of a remote place by radio with no need to prepare new infrastructures such as optical fiber.

・ By using Microsoft Windows as the user-machine interface, high operability is achieved. The important features such as data logging and alarm detection are equipped in the controller to maintain reliability.

・ The logic and graphics creation tools are based on VISIO, a CAD tool which is renowned for its user friendliness, so you can design systems by dragging and dropping. The logic diagrams you create by using VISIO are directly saved as formal drawings, allowing you to keep the consistency between the actual logic and drawings (self documentation).

・ There are many options based on the IT technology such as emailing alarms, monitoring and operations via the Web, mobile operator stations, and displaying the video recorded by cameras via the Web.

・ The latest technology is always used for external security.

・ Many interfaces are available to enable the connection with the systems of other companies.

(2) Easy maintenance using the fully integrated database

Before DIASYS Netmation®, the user needed to register items in a system and set up the system in each of different tools that were used to create and change logic, create graph-ics windows for monitoring, and perform other operations. The different sets of data in the tools needed to be related by using communication point numbers. Now DIASYS Netmation® centrally manages all the system data in the integrated database and you do not need to relate the data by using communication point numbers any more. Since you can reference and edit the same data in an easy-to-understand format from multiple tools, human errors such as incorrect relations of data can be prevented and efficient maintenance is possible.

(3) Broad line-up to accommodate systems of any size

The large controller (MPS) and the small controller (CPS) are available. The MPS is suitable for controlling a gas turbine or a gas engine which requires processing of large quantities of data at a fast cycle, or a plant which requires processing of many input and output points. The CPS is suitable for a small system consisting of such as a packaged boiler, enabling an optimum system with adequate cost and performance. The MPS and the CPS can be used together to operate, monitor, and maintain a plant.

System Devices

■ Multiple Process Station (MPS)The Multiple Process Station (MPS) is used to perform automatic plant control and I/O processing. It features advanced arithmetic processing capabilities that enable it to support a wide range of applications that require high-speed processing, such as turbine governor control, as well as automatic boiler control and automatic plant start/stop control. In addition, since the MPS was successfully connected with the products of other companies in many occasions in the past and has interface software as standard, you can configure a seamless control and monitoring system for the entire plant. The system can also be configured to connect to fieldbuses via ControlNet. Moreover, since the Multiple Process Station supports a duplexed configuration and optical communications, remote-process I/O devices can be installed right next to plant equipment.The MPS is duplexed (CPUs, power supplies, I/O networks) to ensure the reliability as a controller.

■ Operator Station (OPS)The Operator Station (OPS) is a human-machine interface for monitoring and operating a plant. Since an OPS is a Windows-based system, it is easy to use and allows the plant operators to learn the operations easily.

■ Browser Operator Station (Browser WSM) DIASYS Netmation® also offers browser-based OPS software. Simply by installing and setting up this software on a browser-resident PC, operators can obtain the same functionality as provided by an OPS in the central control room.

■ Engineering & Maintenance Station (EMS)The Engineering & Maintenance Station (EMS) is used to maintain the entire DIASYS Netmation® system and register necessary elements, such as creating and changing the logic calculated on the MPS, and designing graphic displays, trends and control loop plates on OPSs , all the way up to and including configuring an entire system. All maintenance data is managed in the integrated database called ObjectDatabase (ORCA) and no complex specification of relationships is needed. You use DIASYS-IDOL++ software to write the logic. The EMS provides OPS elements and MPS elements such as control loop plates for operating the plant and alarms. The EMS is an extended function block and enables the seamless description and manage-ment of the relationships among those elements on the same sheet.

■ Accessory Station (ACS)The Accessory Station (ACS) stores and manages large amounts of plant data. Removable media such as magneto-optical drives for data storage can be easily connected. The ACS can also be used as an interface with external devices.

■ Compact Process Station (CPS)The Compact Process Station (CPS) is a controller containing a CPU (SmartCPU) that can be mounted on the bus (FLEX BUS) which is used for I/O modules. The CPS can be used more casually compared to the MPS, for example, in a small plant such as a packaged boiler, an additional facility for diagnosing the combustion vibration of a gas turbine, or any other place that requires input and output. The CPS uses the same I/O modules as the MPS. The CPS and the MPS can coexist in the same system.

Internet LevelOn the Internet Level, DIASYS Netmation® offers monitoring from home and remote diagnostic services from MHPS. Operation and monitoring can be performed by simply connecting to the Internet using the same Browser WSM as on the Office LAN Level.

Office LAN LevelOn the Office LAN Level, DIASYS Netmation® offers plant operations monitoring and control via a local LAN that extends throughout the entire power plant. Since all functions are available using just a Browser WSM, a business PC or similar computer can be used effectively without modification. What's more, by simply installing an in-house wireless LAN or PHS line, mobile OPSs that permit on-site operation checking and monitoring can be utilized.

Unit LevelConnected over a duplexed 100M Ethernet network, the Unit Level is a layer designed with emphasis on reliability. This level offers an interface to the upper layers and overall unit monitoring and operation. The ACS is equipped with large-scale storage devices, interfaces with the upper levels, and integrates printers and other peripheral devices. The OPS is placed in the central control room, and effectively provides the operator with a variety of displays and methods of operation. The EMS is used for editing the overall configuration and to control arithmetic operations. The MPS not only includes control functionality, but can also be used to perform arithmetic calculations and short-term data storage in 1-hour intervals.

Control LevelThe Control Level enables the arithmetic operations for control and the input and output with the field. If the Control Level fails or stops, the plant may be greatly affected. Therefore, the high reliability is mandatory for the Control Level. The MPS and the CPS perform varied types of calculations in addition to the arithme-tic operations for control, and collect data for a short period of time (one hour). The MPS and the CPS can be connected to a DCS and a sequencer (PLC) of other manufacturers via ControlNet, which is the I/O network, or Ethernet.

Field LevelThis level provides ports to field networks such as Fieldbus and DeviceNet by connec-tion through Linking Devices (LD) to a ControlNet network. Not only is seamless integration with the control system possible, but remote, batch maintenance of terminal field devices can be performed.

System

Overview

and Feature

When you use DIASYS Netmation®, you can easily create a remote monitoring and operation system that allows operations and monitoring at a place far from the plant or a field mobile terminal system that enables operations on the field outside the control room in the same manner you expand an ordinary system (security measures are required). You can create such systems since a protocol for low-load traffic, called the card communication technology, was developed and adopted in DIASYS Netmation® to enable the communications between the system components.

■ Low-load traffic is achieved by sending and receiving only required dataThe traditional control systems periodically sent all the process data collected by the controller to user-machine interface devices such as OPSs. Therefore, the larger the plant, the larger the traffic became. And an applicable infrastructure was required. The card communication technology is an outstanding communi-cations method since it queries the controller for the data to be displayed on the OPS, and compresses and sends or receives only the required data.

With the card communication technology, the traffic required for normal operations and monitoring can be 32 kbps or less per OPS. Therefore, a remote monitoring and operation system can be created using existing low-load infrastructures such as PHS and microwaves. You do not need to lay new optical fiber to create a remote monitoring and operation system. Data is not missed even if an unstable communications network might experience momentary lapses of data since the MPS logs and stores data. When the communications are restored, the OPS calls the MPS for data again. Therefore, trend data and alarms are not lost. Other functional degeneration does not occur, either.

■ Many applications are available for the control and monitoring systemMany applications are available such as a remote monitoring and operation system using existing microwave lines for security purposes or telephone lines, a tablet PC used as a field mobile terminal, and the email feature of a mobile phone used as an alarm reception feature.

In this example, an operator station was set up at the client's monitoring center over 100km from the plant, where the client carried out remote monitoring and control via a secure microwave link.

In this example, multiple power plants on separate islands were monitored and controlled from a single plant, for improved operating efficiency. Communication between the islands was carried out using the client's secure microwave link and an NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation) dedicated phone line.

System for Small Facilities: Compact Process Station (CPS)

Coexistence of User-friendliness (OPS) and High Reliability (MPS and CPS)

Not all applications involve large-scale systems like thermal power plants. The Compact Process Station (CPS) has the flexibility to adopt to smaller, dispersed power sources and other small-scale facilities. As a DCS, the CPS has the same operability, expandability, and reliability that characterize DIASYS Netmation®, with the size and cost performance comparable to a sequencer (PLC).

・Whereas in the MPS, the CPU chassis and I/O modules are completely independent in the cabinet, the CPS employs a simpler arrangement, with the CPU module located alongside the DIN rail with I/O modules.

・High-speed access is made possible by directly connecting the CPU module and the I/O module via a world-standard Allen Bradley FLEX I/O.

・In addition to the conventional DIASYS Netmation® I/O module, the Allen Bradley module can also be used on its own.

・A dual CPU configuration can also be used for even higher reliability.

・The system can be configured and maintained using the same Engineering & Maintenance Station software as with DIASYS Netmation®.

・Systems combining DIASYS Netmation® and the "Smart CPU" can be seamlessly configured, operated, and maintained.

・DIASYS Netmation®'s characteristic low-load communications allows the configuration of remote monitoring and control systems for unmanned facilities and so on.

For details, see the chapter on the Compact Process Station (CPS).

DIASYS Netmation® uses Microsoft's Windows as the operating system of the OPS. Since you can use the OPS to operate and monitor a plant by clicking the mouse or dragging and dropping items like you use Windows applications such as Word and Excel, the users who are accustomed to Windows can easily learn how to use the OPS. Some of you may worry that Windows is prone to freeze (a window suddenly stops and does not recover until the power is turned off and on again) and Windows may not be suitable for operating and monitoring a plant in terms of reliability.

DIASYS Netmation® was successful in gaining the operability of Windows and high reliability by designing the system based on a concept that totally differs from conventional control systems. Now the controller (MPS or CPS) has the data collection feature and the alarm detection feature which belonged to the OPS previously. Even if the OPS goes down, the required functionality is never lost. The MPS and the CPS are designed with reliability as the top priority. The operating systems of the MPS and the CPS are not Windows and each of the MPS and the CPS is duplexed (two CPUs, two power supplies, two networks) to achieve a high working ratio. In the OPS, only the DIASYS Netmation® graphics display software (Work Space Manager) is running and the OPS does not collect or store process data at all. When the OPS needs data, it asks the MPS, the CPS, or the ACS using the card communication technology each time. Therefore, even if the OPS freezes and is reset, functional degeneration such as missed alarm detection or missed trend data does not occur at all.

To achieve this level of reliability, DIASYS Netmation® knows the causes that might freeze Windows in advance and performs required measures on Windows applications for continued operation. That is why DIASYS Netmation® can run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If a memory leak that might cause a system freeze occurs, an appropriate circuit in DIASYS Netmation® detects it and reports it as an alarm to reset the PC before the freeze occurs and release the memory.

Fig.5 : Reliability of Windows

Since the duplexed controller (non-Windows) collects data and detectsalarms, the activation and deactivation of the higher-level PC have no influence on data collection.

Detected alarms, history of alarms, whether alarms are checked, and trend graphs are displayed without fail.Tagging status is also kept regardless of the status of this PC.

Human-Machine Interface H

uman-M

achine Interface

Overview

Control, monitoring, and data management are carried out from OPSs , which are Windows PC-based systems. The human-machine in-terface was created with emphasis placed on similarity to Microsoft Office, to make the system easy to learn for operators familiar with the use of Word and Excel.

It is also possible to set up a central control room designed for people familiar with office-type environments that utilizes full-monitor op-eration combined with a user-friendly human-machine interface. Adding a large screen (optional) allows several people to share the lat-est plant information.

A Web-based OPS (browser OPS) has also been developed for DIASYS Netmation®. Simply by setting up the OPS on a Browser-active PC, operators can supervise plant operations via their intranet. Operators can also perform browser OPS opera-tions at home or on the road via public telephone lines.

Furthermore, by setting up a wireless LAN on their premises, operators can perform plant operations, monitoring and control in the field using a notebook or tablet PC, just as if they were in the central control room.

The OPS is a Windows personal computer installed with Work Space Manager which is the DIASYS Netmation® graphics display software. The OPS does not store process data. Each time a window needs to be displayed on the OPS, the OPS asks the MPS, the CPS, or the ACS to send the data required for the window (card communication technology). Therefore, operations and monitoring can be performed with low traffic load.

Fig. 6 : Conceptual Image of a Central Control Room

OPS/MPS/ACS Role AllocationThe human-machine interface functions are implemented using the three main elements making up DIASYS Netmation® : Operator Stations (OPS), Process Stations (MPS/CPS), and Accessory Stations (ACS). Their respective roles are apportioned as shown in Fig. 10. The OPS does not store process data of the plant; it fetches necessary data from the MPS/CPS or the ACS when necessary using the card communication technology.

Function of OPS

The OPS provides plant operation and monitoring functions.

■ Graphics (P&ID display)

Fig. 8 : Sample Graphic Screen Displayed with Other Screens Fig. 9 : Sample Graphic Screen

The OPS graphically displays the operating status of a plant. The OPS displays an overall or partial system diagram of the plant, and displays process status and process values in real time, using methods such as digital display, bar graphs, and color variations. Clicking on the screen-displayed graphical symbol of a plant device causes a control loop plate (operation frame) to appear, where it can then be manipulated. Further, more efficient status monitoring can be achieved by displaying trend components and other graphic components concurrently. Since the logic calculation status can also be displayed, a screen densely populated with integrated plant and control infor-mation can be configured.

Multiple Process Station (MPS)

The Multiple Process Station (MPS) of DIASYS Netmation® is a controller that performs arithmetic operations for control and processes input and output with the field.The DIASYS Netmation® Multiple Process Station (MPS) gives full play to the plant manufacturer's basic philosophy of ensuring reliability and controllability. The key features of the MPS are as follows.

■ High ReliabilityDuplicated redundant functional processors, network and power supply units help ensure system reliability. Moreover, each CPU is provided with a complete set of self-diagnostic functions. This means that, in the event of failure, switchover can be made to the standby CPU of the duplex system without adversely affecting control.

■ High-Performance Control FunctionsDIASYS Netmation®'s MPS achieves excellent controllability, thanks to its powerful Intel Celeron/Pentium processor and high-speed process I/O scheme. Since it employs the latest high-speed CPU, the MPS is able to perform most any type of arithmetic computation, including efficiency calculations, soot calculations, and more.The MPS also detects alarms and logs data.

■ Flexible System ConfigurationA broadly-based hardware line-up makes it possible for the MPS to conform to a wide range of system configurations, from compact architecture systems to highly-complex systems. Since sequencers (PLCs), MCCs and fieldbuses can be connected directly to the system, the plant system designer can set up a total plant control and monitoring system, including control of proprietary systems within the plant.

■ Easy MaintenanceThe DIASYS-IDOL++ engineering software tools integrate total plant control logic designing, maintenance, monitoring and diagnostics. DIASYS-IDOL++ is a user-friendly system for the customer, which makes it a snap to perform system maintenance of anything from control logic modification to system configuration.

■ High Maintainability of HardwareEven in the unlikely event of system failure, the MPS's self-diagnostic functions and indication features make it easy to locate the failure and restore the system.

The system configuration of the MPS is shown in Fig. 22.

There are two, duplexed CPU cards, each of which monitors the other in a redundant configuration. If one of the CPUs fails, the control functions are seamlessly handed over to the standby CPU. Process I/O modules that provide plant interfaces also provide the interface to the CPUs via ControlNet, which is an open, state-of-the-art control network advanced by Allen Bradley specifically for real-time, high-throughput industrial applications.

Ready I/O module extensibility is provided by adding I/O modules to ControlNet. Similarly, specialized function modules such as turbine interlock modules and valve interface modules are also connected to ControlNet, just like a regular I/O module.

Allen Bradley's PLC can also be connected directly to ControlNet. This allows one to configure a total plant control and monitoring system that includes proprietary PLCs for auxiliary systems such as water treatment facilities, desulfurization facilities and ash treatment facilities. For the sequencers (PLCs) that are manufactured by companies other than Allen Bradley, the interface is enabled by MODBUS or Ethernet. Moreover, by connecting linking devices to ControlNet, the system can also be set up to interface fieldbuses, DeviceNet networks, or MCCs.

Fig. 23 shows a typical arrangement of modules in a cabinet; Fig. 24 is a sketch of a CPU chassis; and Figure 25 is power distribution diagrams of the CPU and I/O systems.

Table 9 : Self-Diagnostic Items

System Reliability

To help ensure the highest system reliability, a stringent quality control system is rigorously applied to both the hardware and the software of the MPS. Even so, as a basic rule, MHPS embraces a redundant configuration to maintain automatic control and operation monitoring functions, even in the rare event a system failure occurs.

In a redundant configuration, reliable self-diagnostic functions and a thorough backup transfer function constitute the two most critical elements. These self-diagnostic functions are shown in Table 11.

1) Self-diagnostic Functions

Since the CPU card of an MPS assigns its highest priority to maintaining continued control as the plant control system, it is equipped with the ability to perform reliable self-diagnostics.

2) System Switching Procedure

Two CPUs are used for redundancy. One CPU is the control CPU and the other is the standby CPU. The control CPU issues output permissions to the output modules and the calculations of this CPU control the plant. The standby CPU periodically fetches necessary data from the control CPU to maintain the same calculations as the control CPU in case of emergency switchover. The CPUs monitor each other. If an abnormality occurs in the control CPU, the standby CPU detects it immediately and takes over the control CPU bumplessly. The system I/O card in each system monitors whether the status of the other CPU is normal or abnormal.

Characeristics and specifications of auxiliary devices

■ Features (1)The CAD feature of Visio allows you to enter information that is similar to traditional CAD diagrams.(2)Information acquired outside control systems can also be entered as doagrams.(3)The sequence of signals from the field to the graphical user interface can be written in one sheet.

■ Advantages ・The circuits of the relay sequence can also be written in the same diagram (the MPS/CPS ignoresthem during operations).・The specifications of auxiliary devices such as the rated current can be written in the same diagram.・Confirmation of operations is easy at test runs and maintenance inspections.

The Compact Process Station (CPS) of DIASYS Netmation® is a controller that handles input and output with the instruments and devices installed in the field of the plant. The CPS automatically controls the plant and performs varied calculations. The CPS contains a CPU that can be mounted on a FLEX I/O module bus.Since the CPS requires no CPU chassis unlike the MPS and may be used in a single configuration, it can be used more casually, for example, in a small-scale system such as a packaged boiler, an additional facility for diagnosing combustion vibration of a gas turbine, or any other place that requires input and output. The CPS can be duplexed if necessary.

Fig. 26 shows a typical system configuration for a CPS.SmartCPU can be directly connected to an OPS or an EMS as shown in Fig. 26 since SmartCPU has an Ethernet interface. Up to eight I/O modules can be mounted under SmartCPU. To mount more than eight I/O modules, you can use the FXADP01 to extend the I/O bus.To duplex the CPS, connect two SmartCPUs by using a tracking cable.

Table 11 shows the module line-up of the DIASYS Netmation® CPS. In addition to DIASYS Netmation®'s original modules, you can use the FLEX I/O modules manufactured by Allen Bradley.

Table 11 : Hardware Lineup

Compact Process Station (CPS)

The EMS, which is a maintenance tool of DIASYS Netmation®, is used to make system settings and perform maintenance procedures ranging from modification and creation of logic on the MPS and design of graphic displays, trends and control loop plates on OPSs , all the way up to and including configuring an entire system.

・ Easy maintenance using the fully integrated database・ Engineering by dragging and dropping・ No conversion of logic to POL (logic diagrams are directly used

as arithmetic operation data)・ DIASYS-IDOL++ logic description language added with data

processing and OPS elements in addition to the logic language.

■ Logic Data Management and Creation (LOGIC WINDOW/LogicCreator)For a traditional control system, the instrumentation control engineer creates logic diagrams and the maintenance tool of the control system converts the logic diagrams to POL diagrams to create the logic to be calculated on the controller. For DIASYS Netmation®, the conversion to POL diagrams is totally abolished.The instrumentation control engineer uses LogicCreator, which is based on a Microsoft CAD tool, VISIO, to create function block diagrams (control logic diagrams) by drag and drop operations only. When the data is built and downloaded to the MPS or the CPS, only the logic elements that need to be calculated are extracted and calculated. The created diagrams can be directly submitted to your customers or maintained properly. For the traditional system, if logic is changed in the system, the diagrams need to be re-written afterward. For DIASYS Netmation®, since the calculated logic and the diagrams are the same, the diagrams are automatically updated when logic is changed.

■ System Configuration Function (SYSTEM WINDOW)This function is used to arrange elements making up the system such as MPSs , OPSs , and ACSs connected to the unit network, and to set the I/O configuration of the MPSs . This function can also be used to compress logic data drawn using LOGIC WINDOW into numeric data known as sheet data and download it to an MPS.

■ Human Machine Interface Setting Function (HMI WINDOW)This function is used for constructing OPS displays, including control loop plates and alarm summaries, as well as data logging function setting. It is used to perform not only placement of display components such as valves and pumps, but also placement of JPEG and bitmap data, logic data, and setting of log trend data.

■ Plant System Diagram Management and Creation Function (GRAPHIC WINDOW)This function is used for managing and creating the graphics displayed on the OPS.

■ ObjectDatabase (ORCA) Modification Function (DOCUMENT WINDOW)This function is used to interface with ObjectDatabase (ORCA). Since Excel can be used for this interface, modification or revision of data can be performed using various easy-to-learn functions of Excel.

■ Drawing Management Function (DRAWING WINDOW)This function is used to manage drawings such as function block diagrams, IO lists and instrument lists as PDF files.

Fig. 28 : Conceptual Rendering of ObjectDatabase (ORCA)

One of the main features of DIASYS Netmation® is an integrated database called ObjectDatabase (ORCA). The control system performs varied functions including the graphic display on an OPS, creating logic for defining arithmetic processing for control, and assignment of input and output signals to I/O modules. ObjectDatabase (ORCA) managed each piece of data that is shared by different functions as a single component (object). Objects appear differently depending on the function that uses them. However, objects do not change. Figure 28 shows the concept.

 

In previous systems, when different functions required the same data, each function created the data and gave the same number to the data to show that they were actually using the same data. Let's take a pump for example.

Suppose there is logic that defines a pump that changes its color depending on its status. Also suppose there is a graphic window that displays the pump which changes its color. In previous systems, the logic creation tool was used to create the color change logic and the pump was given a number for each piece of that logic. Then the graphic creation tool was used to create a graphic that displayed the pump. To the colors of the pump, the numbers defined in the color change logic were assigned.

Figure 29 shows the concept of the previous number assignment method. Figure 30 shows the ObjectDatabase (ORCA) method used in DIASYS Netmation®.

Fig. 31 : Typical DIASYS-IDOL++ Elements

Control and processing logic is described using DIASYS-IDOL++, the logic description language exclusive to DIASYS®. Conventional digital controllers require programming technology to build up the control logic, making them difficult for control engineers to handle. With DIASYS-IDOL++, however, the program code is formed simply by drawing a conventional control system diagram on the VDU screen.

This control and processing logic description software, originally developed by MHPS for power plants, has earned a solid reputation among customers for its easy description of control algorithms. Since it was first developed in 1980, DIASYS-IDOL++ has become faster and more compact in terms of arithmetic processing, while maintaining the same interchangeability of expression.

The DIASYS-IDOL++ contains more than 100 standard logic elements, with the typical 6 elements shown in Fig. 31. The elements are displayed for selection on the LogicCreator of the EMS. The standard elements can also be combined to form a new element using the "user definition macro function."

Control and Processing Logic Description Language DIASYS-IDOL++

Fig. 32 : Logic of DIASYS Netmation®

The DIASYS-IDOL++ software installed in the EMS includes not just elements for logic description language, but for operating screens,

OPS control monitoring elements including alarms and lamps, and plant status as well, allowing various linked conditions to be entered on

a single logic sheet. Previously, links between control logic, OPS, and other functions were created by assigning an ID number, but

DIASYS-IDOL++ eliminates the need to assign and manage ID numbers.

As a world-renowned plant manufacturer, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems has delivered a variety of plants ranging from plants with boilers and turbines for small industries to large-scale plants consisting of monotube boilers and steam turbines. Our operation training simulator, SimTRAC is the essence of our accumulated design know-how and operation technologies, realized in the form of user-friendly simulation technology.■ Advantages of introducing SimTRAC 1) Operators can easily learn how to start and stop a plant or change load by themselves.2) Simulated operations provide a varied types of abnormalities including device failures and system changes, allowing operators to   

 improve their skills effectively. 3) Simulations for changing the control logic and adjusting parameters allow operators to understand plants better.4) Simulations include special types of operations such as coal-fired boilers.

■ Training simulatorPrecise and compactHighly sophisticated design technologies of Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems as a plant manufacturer are incorporated including know-hows for designing boiler heat surfaces and turbine blades, heat transfer equations, and consideration for the heat balance of plants.

Database methodPlant models are easy to create since they consist of device components registered in the database (DBSS) and devices are represented as symbols.

Operation graphics and control logic based on actual devicesControl plate display, warning display, and graphic display are the same as those used in actual devices. The renowned control software of Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, DIASYS-IDOL, is implemented for control.

As parameters, you can specify (or enter signals for) 1): plant system information, such as characteristics of boilers and turbines or pressure loss in pipes, 2): electricity supply charge, fuel cost, 3): energy demand patterns of steam and electricity and 4): operation conditions. By doing so, JOS calculates the economical operation in real time using n-order polynomial expressions considering the task as a nonlinear constrained optimization problem and displays the result as a reference for the actual operation.■ Example of Calculating the Advantages of Introducing JOS

The typical cost improvement of a mill of a paper manufacturer is described here.You can calculate the advantages of introducing JOS based on the following data:

■ System OverviewJOS enables the optimal operation of power plants with multiple boilers and turbines in factories. It uses the system characteristics and fuel costs of the plant as parameters and finds the optimal solution that minimizes the fuel and electricity to be purchased while satisfying the demands for electricity and steam in the factory. When combined with online control, JOS also enables real-time optimal operation.

Nowadays, remote systems are introduced to allow operations of a power plant from a different remote power plant or operations and monitoring from a customer's headquarters. MHPS has provided remote systems in more than 30 power plants worldwide. Some remote systems are connected to MHPS's remote center to allow our plant engineers to support efficient operations.

To introduce a remote system, the following points must be noted:

1) Security precautions against network intruders and information leakage must be provided.2) The processing of the control system must not be affected.3) There should be no response bottlenecks that may cause communication overload on the data transmission route such as VPN lines and Internet lines.4) Expandability must be taken into account to allow adding features in the future such as video transmission.

MHPS has delivered remote systems that require high reliability such as remote systems in far islands and remote geothermal turbines.

Example of the burner controlsystem with the built-in Net IR-S

■High Reliability   High-sensitivity designThe newly designed sensor enables the detection of burner flames, reliably. Flames are detected through the non-ignition zone.

Greater detection rangeThe detector allows better and more reliable detection from high-luminance flames to slow combution. Besides providing a much better detection sensitivity-100 times that of the existing product, the new detector eliminates the need for sensitivity adjustments.

■Excellent Maintenanability   Manitenance-free designThe spherical lens eliminates the need for cleaning the sensor window.

Long-life sensorLong-life semiconductors used in the infrared sensor element makes it unnecessary to carry out replacement at normally frequent intervals.

■Excellent EconomyFewer number of panelsDue to the space-saving design of the detector module, each panel is capable of housing 40 corners.

Uses existing boiler equipmentFor replacement work, it is unnecessary to modify the boiler.

Uses existing equipmentIt is unnecessary to replace the sensor-to-panel cable.

<Features>By combing burner control and flame monitoring, the following advantages can be achieved; ・The maintenance tools of the burner control system can perform monitoring, adjustment, and maintenance. ・Easy maintenance using the common line ・Compact size ・No need to replace the control cable
