    Abstract: A system analyzer and a method for analyzing an impact of a change in a component of a distributed control system (DCS) are disclosed. The system can collect and store data representing the DCS components and their interconnection as well as signals of the DCS components. The DCS can be graphically modeled with nodes and directed edges, wherein a node represents either a type of DCS component or a signal of a DCS components, and wherein an edge is an “influence”-edge, or a “contains”-edge. Information on a change of a DCS components is received, a depth first or breadth first search is performed over the “influence”-edges and “contains”-edges and determine unchanged DCS components which would be affected by a malfunction, a removal or a taking out of operation of the at least one DCS component, and information on the affected DCS components is transmitted to an operator interface.

    Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于分析分布式控制系统(DCS)的部件的变化的影响的系统分析器和方法。 该系统可以收集和存储表示DCS组件及其互连的数据以及DCS组件的信号。 DCS可以用节点和有向边缘图形化建模,其中节点表示DCS分量的类型或DCS分量的信号,并且其中边缘是“影响”-edge或“包含”-edge。 接收到关于DCS组件改变的信息,对“影响”和“包含”密钥执行深度优先或宽度优先搜索,并确定将受故障影响的不变的DCS组件,删除或 停止至少一个DCS组件的操作,并且将受影响的DCS组件的信息发送到操作员界面。
