dual Process Segement Controller

dPSC
General description

Integrating the Local Process Bus and
the Global Process Bus
The dPSC is a dual two channel CAN
gateway. Most often the two channels are
working in parallel on redundant CAN lines.
Its main task is to process messages from
the local CAN segment and send them on
the global process bus, where they are
available for other dPSC’s and System
GateWays (SGW). Commands and
download of parameters and software from
any System GateWay to the nodes
connected to the local process bus will be
handled as well.
For that reason it is advised to use the
dPSC to split two different process
segments, where inter-communication is
necessary.
dPSC setup and Configuration
All necessary configuration and SW
installation is done via the global CAN.
Interface with external equipment
The dPSC is equipped with a dual serial
interface, RS422/485 to communicate with
other vendors equipment.

Mastership for the local process bus

The dPSC is a node with CANopen master Dual PSC system architecture
capability. The CANopen network
management (NMT) has a redundant
service implemented to guard all nodes
connected to the local Process Bus. If the
communication towards one node fails, the
dPSC will generate a System Failure
message on the global process bus,
identifying the node and the failure.

Redundant Application Process Control

Logic
When the dual PSC is controlling the same
Distributed Processing Units (DPU’s) they
are working in parallel running the same
process algorithm.

Galvanic isolation between process bus

segments
The two CAN channels in the PSC are
based on the ISO 11898 standard, with
optical isolation. Shortcircuit or malfunction
on one CAN channel does not affect the
other CAN channel.
