Abstract: Systems and methods for simulating operations of a Fieldbus system (FS). The FS (200) includes a Fieldbus interface module (FIM) coupled to field devices. The methods involve creating a simulation computer model (SCM) of the FS, generating simulation data records (SDRs), and running simulation software (SS). The SS is installed on a computer system (242), FIM (232, 234), or embedded device (222, 226). The SS simulates at least one operation of the FS. The SS uses at least a portion of the SCM and at least one of the SDRs. The SCM includes functional blocks and interconnections between the functional blocks. The functional blocks represent the FIM and/or field devices. The SDRs include data defining the SCM, a control strategy of the FS, and communication links between the FIM and field devices.

Abstract: A hyperconverged industrial process control architecture is disclosed for controlling an industrial process within a physical process environment using a software-defined distributed control system (DCS) environment. The software-defined DCS environment may be implemented by virtualizing the hardware components of a DCS architecture on a server group to enable both software-defined process controllers and back-end DCS applications to run within the server group. This software-defined DCS network architecture reduces the hardware requirements of the process control system and reduces configuration complexity by implementing control components and higher-level components within a common environment within the server group.

Abstract: A system and method for operating a remote plant simulation system is disclosed. The system and method uses a light application at the plant to collect relevant data and communicate it to a remote plant simulation. The remote plant simulation uses the relevant data, including data from the actual process, to create a process simulation and communicate the display data to the light application operating at the plant where it is displayed to a user. The remote system offers the advantage of offering decreased cost and improved simulation as the equipment cost, operator cost and set up cost is shared by a plurality of users. Further, the data may be stored remotely and subject to data analytics which may identify additional areas for efficiency in the plant.

Abstract: Systems (200, 230, 240) and methods (700) for controlling a simulation of an operation of a Fieldbus system (100) comprising at least one FIM (114, 116) communicatively coupled to field devices (122, 124). The methods involve initiating a current simulation (CS) of an operation of the FIM and/or field devices. The methods also involve obtaining intermediate simulation information (ISI) indicating a status/progress of CS. The methods further involve displaying ISI to a user of a simulation system and displaying visual elements (610, . . . , 620) for controlling the progress of CS to the user. Gantt charts (672, 674) for the FIM/field devices and visual content showing data exchanges between software elements and/or hardware elements of the simulation system can further be displayed to the user. The visual elements can facilitate speeding up CS, slowing down CS, moving the progress of CS backwards/forwards, and/or stopping/re-starting the CS.

Abstract: A high fidelity distributed plant simulation technique includes a plurality of separate simulation modules that may be stored and executed separately in different drops or computing devices. The simulation modules communicate directly with one another to perform accurate simulation of a plant, without requiring a centralized coordinator to coordinate the operation of the simulation system. In particular, numerous simulation modules are created, with each simulation module including a model of an associated plant element and these simulation modules are stored in different drops of a computer network to perform distributed simulation of a plant or a portion of a plant. At least some of the simulation modules, when executing, perform mass flow balances taking into account process variables associated with adjacent simulation modules to thereby assure pressure, temperature and flow balancing (i.e., conservation of mass flow) through the entire simulation system. In a dynamic situation, a transient mass storage relay technique is used to account for transient changes in mass flow through any non-storage devices being simulated by the simulation modules. Moreover, adjacent simulation modules located in different drops communicate directly with one another using a background processing task, which simplifies communications between adjacent simulation modules without the need for a central coordinator.
