Editor's Notes
- #12 The Application Manager is to the Process engineer as the Topology Manager is to the system engineer. The Application Manager allows the process engineer to design the process application as it is in real-life (or P&ID) using his own model or applying the ISA88 one or any other model he chooses Usually this process description follows the P&ID diagrams but the user is free to apply his own language or organization. Just like for the Hardware Architectures, the user will describe the process application instantiating process objects coming from the Libraries. During the development of the application the engineer is fully independent from the hardware architecture of the topological description and that strongly facilitates the re-usability of pieces of applications seen as a model.
- #13 Common with DCS NOT A SHELL software that links different programming environments….ALL in one. Example: When you want to create a table in a Word document, it doesn’t link to a separate “table” software, it’s all the same.
- #14 Not passing files back and forth through email Doesn’t make sense from a process perspective to have a “HMI” expert or a “Controls” expert…you want a “mixing” expert Not using physical drawing sets or paper documentation at bottom of cabinet as a “go between” between physical devices and program elements.
- #15 Turning to some of the features inside the PlantStruxure Architecture System User Interface. From one single point, the Topological Manager, the engineer (or system architecture expert) has the ability to design and configure the entire system architecture. That includes the devices, field buses, remote IOs, controllers, and the network and supervision architectures. To do so, the Topological Manager provides the needed catalog of hardware objects coming from the libraries. Once designed, we offer the view of the entire architecture from a single point with both trees list and graphical views. Most systems available today only have partial views, basic tree views or different tools to deliver the same level of information.
- #16 Let’s take a look at the PROCESS ENGINEER’s VIEW…Starting from the P&ID of the plant, the process engineers identify the different units, equipments and control modules. A control module is defined in the system as a PlantStruxure PES Object. A PlantStruxure PES Object is composed of different elements like control logic, graphic representation, documentation, manuals, etc.
- #17 Each of the libraries delivered with the system are made up of a set of “objects”, and each object has several “facets”. These facets deliver the functionality to the user during engineering and also during operation. An example of an object would be a pump. The facets of a pump are Genie – the picture on the operator screen that the operator sees to recognize the pump Faceplate – this is the pop-up that provides operational information to the operator Alarms – these are activated if there is something abnormal with the process, typically indicating that the operator needs to take some action Asset management – if the device supports it, the asset management facet allows engineers and maintenance teams to configure and change parameters in the device (through built-in web servers in the device or FTD/DTM technology) Control – the code running inside the controller that gives the device its functionality Link – the link to other objects in the system to aid in navigation Manuals – documentation such as instruction manuals, videos or any other kind of information that should be associated with the object Trend – short-term or long term historical data about the pump In addition, the object model is open and extensible allowing the engineer to modify or build his/her own set of objects. This openness is a differentiation from many DCS offers on the market. Even though their systems support objects, quite often those objects are closed and cannot be edited, making it difficult for engineers to customize to their applications. As the objects can be modified by the user at any time to adapt them to the process, it’s a key point that the system manages properly the propagation of these changes in the existing applications using instances of these objects. This allows the engineer to propagate selectively to chosen instances the changes performed in a template. In order to help the operator along the operation and maintenance phase, the objects will manage all the available diagnostics information to reduce the downtime of the installation, helping the user to make the right decision faster. While instantiating an object, the user selects a device object template and the field bus that he/she wants to use. That will allow the system to build automatically all the communication between the device and the controller which manages it. Everything is done at the same time and the consistency is managed and maintained by the system. During development it saves a lot of time and risk.
- #19 One of the key differentiators of the system is the fact that we can help customers to manage their production and energy within a single environment and reduce energy waste at the source. PlantStruxure PES offers three key features that help to reduce energy and plant downtime The first feature is dedicated libraries and application templates. Specific libraries and application templates for energy devices such as power meters, power protection relays, and energy dashboards are available for use within the system The second feature is the « idle-state » services built into specific objects in order to put them into a predefined state based on another process input or time schedule. The last key feature is the ability to use production and energy data to initiate a predicitve maintenance alert for pieces of equipment. For example, a compressor is designed to produce air at a predefined pressure. As the compressor ages and it starts to wear, the amount of energy consumed to produce the same amount of air under pressure increases because the compressor is no longer as efficient as before. Thanks to PlantStruxure PES, the system can generate an alert for the operator or maintenance personnel so that maintenance can be performed on the compressor before it fails, thereby saving potentially many hours in downtime for the plant. This is only possible by combining energy data and production data.
