Configuration software features and applications

The configuration software refers to some special software for data acquisition and process control. They are the software platform and development environment at the level of the monitoring layer of the automatic control system. Using flexible configuration methods, users can quickly build monitoring functions of industrial automatic control systems. , general-level software tools. The configuration software should be able to support a variety of industrial equipment and common communication protocols, and should generally provide distributed data management and network functions. Its pre-configured software modules make it easy to implement and complete the functions of the monitoring layer, and can support computers and I/O products of various hardware manufacturers at the same time, combined with highly reliable industrial computer and network system. Provide all interfaces of software and hardware to the control layer and management layer for system integration.

With its rapid development, real-time database, real-time control, SCADA, communication and networking, open data interface, and extensive support for I/O devices have become its main content. With the development of technology, the monitoring configuration software will Constantly being given new content.

Corresponding to the original hmi (Human Machine Interface) concept, the configuration software should be a software tool or development environment that enables users to quickly build their own HMI. Before the emergence of the configuration software, users in the industrial control field can write HMI applications by hand or by a third party, which has long development time, low efficiency and poor reliability. Or purchase a dedicated industrial control system, usually a closed system. To meet the demand, it is difficult to interact with the outside world, and upgrades and added functions are severely limited. The emergence of configuration software frees users from these dilemmas, and can use the functions of configuration software to build a set of application systems that are most suitable for them.

The configuration software is professional. A configuration software can only be adapted to a certain field of application. The man-machine interface generation software is called the industrial control configuration software. In fact, there are configuration concepts in other industries, people just don't call it. For example, AutoCAD, PhotoShop, and Office Software (PowerPoint) have similar operations, that is, using software-provided tools to form their own work, and save the work as a data file instead of executing the program. The data formed by the configuration can only be identified by its manufacturing tools or other special tools. But the difference is that the configuration results formed in industrial control are used for real-time monitoring. The interpretation engine of the configuration tool is run in real time based on these configuration results. On the surface, the configuration tool runs the program to perform its own specific tasks.

Although configuration is the need to write a program to complete a specific application. But in order to provide some flexibility, the configuration software also provides programming means, generally built-in compiler system, providing BASIC-like language, and some even support VB.

Composition of the configuration software

The configuration software group mainly includes human machine interface software (HMI), PC-based control software, and production execution management software.

Configuration software function

(1) Powerful interface display configuration function. At present, most of the industrial control configuration software runs under the Windows environment, making full use of the graphical functions of Windows to improve the aesthetic features of the interface, the visual m-style interface, and the rich toolbar. The operator can directly enter the development state and save time. Rich graphical control and condition library, providing both the required components and the interface creation wizard. Provide users with a wealth of mapping tools, can draw a variety of industrial interfaces, and can be arbitrarily edited, thus freeing developers from heavy interface design, rich animation connection, such as implicit, flashing, moving Wait, make the interface vivid and intuitive.

(2) Good openness. The large-scale production of socialization makes it impossible for all the soft and hard components of the system to come from a company's products. "Heterogeneous" is one of the main features of today's control systems. Openness means that the configuration software can be interconnected with multiple communication protocols and supports multiple hardware designs. Openness is an important indicator of how good a configuration software is. The configuration software should be able to communicate with the lower-level data acquisition device downwards, and communicate with the management layer upwards to realize two-way communication between the upper computer and the lower computer.

(3) A wealth of functional modules. Provide a rich library of control functions to meet the user's measurement and control requirements and site requirements. Using various functional modules, real-time monitoring and generation of functional reports represent historical curves, real-time curves, and alarming alarms, so that the system has a good human-machine interface and is easy to operate. The system is called for single-machine centralized control and DCS distributed. Control, can also be a remote measurement and control system for remote capabilities.

(4) A powerful database. Equipped with a real-time database, it can store various data, such as analog, discrete children, characters, etc., to achieve data exchange with external devices.

(5) Programmable command language. There is a programmable command language that allows users to write programs and enhance the graphical interface according to their needs.

(6) Careful system security, assign different operating rights to different operators, and ensure the safe and reliable operation of the entire system.

(7) Simulation function. Provides powerful simulation capabilities to allow systems to be designed in parallel, reducing development cycles.

Configuration software features

(1) Continuity and expandability, applications developed with common configuration software, when the site (including hardware devices or system structure) or user needs change, you can easily complete the software update without much modification. And upgrades;

(2) Encapsulation (easy to learn and use), the functions that the general configuration software can complete are packaged in a user-friendly way, users do not need to master too many programming language technologies (even no programming technology). Can do all the functions required for a complex project well;

(3) Universality, each user uses the I/O Driver of the underlying equipment (plc, smart meter, intelligent module, board, inverter, etc.) provided by the general configuration software according to the actual situation of the project, an open database and The screen production tool can complete a project with animation effects, real-time data processing, historical data and curves coexistence, multimedia functions and network functions, without industry restrictions.

Application of configuration software

As long as it involves both real-time data communication (either bidirectional or unidirectional), real-time dynamic graphical interface display, necessary data processing, historical data storage and display, there is a potential need for configuration software. In addition to the well-known field of industrial automation, the following areas have become the new growth point of monitoring configuration software in recent years: plant management or asset management (PAM, Plant Asset Management). Representatives of such software are Emerson's device management software, AMS. According to ARC agency forecasts, the global PAM business volume will reach 1.9 billion US dollars by 2009. PAM covers a wide range, and its common point is to collect the operating status of the equipment in real time, accumulate various parameters of the equipment (such as running time, maintenance times, load curve, etc.), discover hidden dangers of equipment, predict equipment life, and provide equipment maintenance. It is recommended to perform real-time comprehensive diagnosis of the equipment.

Advanced control or optimized control system. After the industrial automation system became popular, many users began to introduce advanced control or optimized control systems to improve control quality and control accuracy. These systems include adaptive control, (multivariate) predictive control, modelless controllers, robust control, intelligent control (expert systems, fuzzy control, neural networks, etc.), and other control software written in accordance with new control theory. The common term of these control software is the control algorithm. The monitoring configuration software mainly solves the problems of the man-machine interface of the control software and the real-time data communication with the control device.

Industrial simulation system. The simulation software provides the user with almost the same environment as the real object. The simulation software not only saves a huge training cost, but also provides the intelligent features that the physical system does not have. The developer of the simulation system specializes in the algorithm of the simulation module. It does not necessarily have advantages in real-time dynamic graphic display and real-time data communication. Force Control®; monitoring configuration software and simulation software are connected through high-speed data interface, in teaching, The application of scientific research simulation applications is more and more extensive.
