Abstract:
A system for communicating according to a standard communication protocol for process control includes a plurality of interconnected computers. The system includes a module that permits communication of information between computers that communicate with process control equipment. The system also includes a module that permits a primary controlling machine to communicate with computers that communicate with process control equipment, and that permits a secondary controlling machine to take the place of the primary controlling machine when the primary controlling machine is unavailable. The system further includes a module that aggregates requests for information directed to one computer that communicates with a piece of process control equipment, communicates with the computer and obtains the information, and delivers the information to each of the requesters. The standard communication protocol for process control can be OPC, and the communicated information can be one or more process control parameters.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Inbetriebnahme einer Anzeigeeinheit (AE), welche Anzeigeeinheit (AE) mit Werkseinstellungen versehen ist, umfassend folgende Schritte: - Anschließen der Anzeigeeinheit (AE) an ein digitales Feldbussystem (FB), über welches mehrere Feldbusteilnehmer (G1, G2, G3) Daten in Form von Telegrammen senden, - Abhören eines Datenverkehrs über das digitale Feldbussystem (FB) durch die Anzeigeeinheit (AE) während die Anzeigeeinheit (A) initialisiert und/oder in das digitale Feldbussystem (FB) integriert wird; und - Wiedergabe wenigstens eines Teils der von einem Feldbusteilnehmer (G1, G2, G3) des Feldbussystems (FB) gesendeten Daten auf einem Anzeigeelement der Anzeigeeinheit (AE) anhand des abgehörten Datenverkehrs entweder unmittelbar nach der Initialisierung der Anzeigeeinheit (AE) und/oder Integration der Anzeigeeinheit in das Feldbussystem oder unmittelbar nach Ablauf einer Startsequenz der Anzeigeeinheit (AE), ohne dass Einstellungen an der Anzeigeeinheit (AE) von einem Benutzer vorgenommen werden.
Abstract:
An industrial system and method for monitoring and analyzing industrial operations such that data is obtained from one or more sensors of one or more industrial components and transmitted to a master controller as a data stream through a communication network, the transmitted data is captured, copied, and stored for analysis without interfering with the data stream.
