Individual elements and internal structure of most of these systems have been
described in Chapters 2 through 7. Here, the objective is to present a brief outline of
each system followed by a tabular overview the key system features. The overview
presentation of various DCCS given here is by no means complete or comprehensive
and is based on the company data available at the beginning of 1988. It is obvious that
individual systems will continue to evolve further with time and the reader should
refer to the latest literature from the companies for more serious considerations.
 1. PROVOX (Fisher Control):

Fisher's distributed control system is known as PROVOX which is an upgrade

of earlier sub-systems. The communications network is hierarchical with a
combination of technologies appropriate to each level. At the top end the network
highway, which operates at 256 Kbps, is a master/slave bus, requiring a Network
Traffic Director. Below this is a similar local area network also operating at 256 Kbps
with more checking, and this is interfaced to the main highway via a network
communications device, which works as the local network traffic director. Eight local
data highways are supported by the main highway, each one having up to 30
communicating devices. Interfaces from this highway are then provided for
programmable controllers and MIS computers, while a separate data concentrator
allows communication with the regulatory controller sub-system.

At the plant interfacing level, there are three types of regulatory controller
cards (configurable, computing and interactive), a Unit Operations Controller, and a
process signal multiplexer sub-system. The configurable controller performs one
control algorithm with user selectable features for the basic single- loop regulatory
control. The computing controller card extends power to include math functions,
alarm handling, and combinational logic plus advanced control functions. When,
however, the control situation is one of several loops, needing to interact the multiple
card set, interactive controller can be used. This provides control algorithms for up to
eight loops and a number auxiliary functions, both arithmetic and logic, and comes in
a variety of sizes to suit the requirement. All of these reside in a data concentrate card
cage and are available with panel-mounting operator stations and local indicators.

The Unit Operations Controller brings together, when fully expanded to 16

files, continuous and discontinuous control functions in a card cage handling 32 loops
and 768 1/0. This is designed to work with the batch operations CRT console which
has the processing power, software, and graphics to provide for such situations as
batch reactors and distillation columns. The Integrated Function Controller is simila r
to this but has no batch facilities and can handle 255 loops in a controller file
arrangement. The process signal multiplexer couples directly to the LCN

Fisher's PROVOX Provue consoles come in a number of shapes and sizes with
a variety of software to suit the requirement. There are 2,000 to 10,000 point, batch,
and custom versions, all offering advanced display facilities.

Integration of VAX and HP computers is possible for planning, scheduling,

and optimization functions. New computer and communication firmware permits
direct interfacing of the system with e process analytical instrumentation like the gas
chromatographs, mass spectrometers, weigh scales, and various analyzers.

The novel operator's and engineer's consoles, introduce recently, are:

PROVUE, the Micro VAX-based, with a high resolution display system in which the
window technique for blending of additional information is built-in; and PROFLEX,
the engineer's console, based on DEC Professional series PC, for system configuration
and graphical editing of user mode displays.
 2. CONTRONIC (Hartmann and Braun):

CONTRONIC is designed for integration of up to 32 active and up to 95

passive stations via a multi drop serial bus (transfer rate 4 Mbps) of maximal length of
2 km, with the extension possibility of up to 12 km.

Each station can interface of 256 analog inputs, 50 analog outputs, and 720
digital I/O. For further communication within the system numerous V.24/V.28-V 11
synchronous interfaces can be used.

The process monitoring and command facility of the system is supported by

the software, enabling display representation of semi graphics, mimic diagrams and
the windows on them, current or historical curves, free formatted process and
production protocols, etc. The displayed plant mimic diagrams can be scrolled and the
instrumentation termination points alternatively selected by the use of a light pen or a
cursor. The plant operator can make use of a highly sophisticated operational
keyboard, built-in into the station, and for archiving the historical data the available
mass memory.

Besides continuous control, the application software package enables

sequential control of batch processes. High level calculations for plant and production
control can also be programmed in BASIC, available within the system,

For increase of system reliability, the control level redundancy is possible by

the use of manual back-up, and at the system level, where the system bus is doubled,
the field and the monitoring ae command stations can also be multiple in number.
 3. TELEPERM M (Siemens):

TELEPERM M, distributed control system of Siemens, is dedicated to the

realization of variable automation structures for a variety of applications. The AS
automation sub-systems of TELEPERM M provide for the optimum automation of
the process, irrespective of whether it is continuous or batch, complex or simple.
Processes with time responses in the minutes and seconds can be controlled using the
AS automation sub-system up-graded performance. The sub-systems can also be used
as automation islands in large distributed plants. The field multiplexer of TELEPERM
M process control system provides an efficient solution for reducing cable costs
between the field devices and between automation sub-systems. For the field
instrumentation in the case plants with extensive field cabling or in applications where
field signals must be located in hazardous environments the field multiplexer is com
seen as the optimal solution.

The bus sub-system of the TELEPERM M has a distributed organization and

is based on the OSI Reference Model. It consists of local bus, and a remote bus, for
transmitting data. The local bus interface modules are used for coupling TELEPERM
M systems or data systems such as process computers. The inductive converter links
the local bus to the remote bus, the bus coupler links autonomous busses. The
TELEPERM M master clock is used to synchronize, via the N-clock, the time in the
complete system. Communication between TELEPERM M and other systems can be
optimized according to the specific process conditions. The bus access procedure is
similar to standard IEEE 802.4. Coupling with Siemens process computers and other
systems is provided for, and also serial connection can be made between the AS
automation systems and subordinate systems such as SIMATICS.

TELEPERM M contains a considerable number of functional and structural

redundancies for availability reason Redundant functions are provided, in addition to
the single ones, at each level of the control system (input/output, automation sub-
systems, operator communication and monitoring sub-systems, bus sub-systems, etc.).

The heart of the Siemens automation system represents the automation stations
of the series. AS 215, AS 220, and AS 230 in connection with the plant observation
stations OS 252 and OS 262. The versions AS 220 and AS 230 contain only one,
whereas the versions A 212 and AS 220H two processors. The number of analog I/O
varies depending on the model, between 160(AS 215), 240/480 (AS 270), a 420/840
(AS 230). Correspondingly, the stations have up to 1024 (AS 215.AS 220) and up to
3360/5040 (AS 230) digital V0. 100 stations all can communicate via one bus, the
number of busses within the system being flexible. Each station can have 35 (AS
215), 110 (AS 220) or 15 (AS 230) control loops

The application software of the system includes. besides standard control

functions, also the adaptive batch process, and recipe driven control, functions and the
recipe handling, batch process management, production scheduling and control, and
some additional functions.
 The advanced monitoring and command facilities OS 252 and OS 262 permit
12 area panel and 288 group representations, to cover up to 2304 control loops
display. In addition, 331 plant mimics, 1800 alarm items, and 2000 graphic
representations (curves, with up to 508 points each) can be programmed. By the use
of a light pen and operator keyboard, display panels can be manipulated. Sliding of
plant mimic diagrams is also feasible.
