Abstract
A control system for a technical plant, in particular a process or production plant, includes an operator station server and an engineering station server, wherein the engineering station server includes a computer-implemented design tool via which an automation configuration for an automation of the technical plant can be created, and wherein the engineering station server transmits the automation configuration for operating and monitoring the technical plant to the operator station server, where operator station server of the control system refuses, for a specific period of time, receipt or processing of the automation configuration for the operation and monitoring of the technical plant if an abort condition is present.
Claims12
A control system for a technical plant, comprising:
- an operator station server operatively coupled to first and second buses, said operator station server acquiring data of an operating and monitoring system and acquiring alarm and measured value archives of the control system of the technical plant;
- and
- an engineering station server operatively coupled to the first and second buses, the engineering station server comprising a computer-implemented design tool via which an automation configuration for an automation of the technical plant is creatable, and the operator station server and the engineering server being linked to each other via at least the first bus;
- wherein the engineering station server is configured to transmit the automation configuration for operating and monitoring of the technical plant to the operator station server;
- wherein the operator station server is configured to refuse a receipt or processing of the automation configuration for the operation and monitoring of the technical plant for a specific period of time if an abort condition is present;
- and
- wherein the operator station server is further configured to establish a presence of the abort condition automatically by one of (i) recognition of a possible overloading of the operator station server, (ii) receipt of the automation configuration from the engineering station server and (iii) processing of the automation configuration by the operator station server.
A method for operating a technical plant with a control system including an operator station server operatively coupled to first and second buses and including an engineering station server operatively coupled to the first and second buses, the engineering station server comprising a computer-implemented design tool via which an automation configuration for an automation of the technical plant is creatable, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by the engineering station server, the automation configuration to the operator station server for operating and monitoring the technical plant;
- and
- refusing, by the operator station server for a specific period of time receipt or processing of the automation configuration for the operation and monitoring of the technical plant if an abort condition is present;
- wherein the operator station server and the engineering server are linked to each other via at least the first bus, said operator station server acquiring data of an operating and monitoring system and acquiring alarm and measured value archives of the control system of the technical plant;
- and
- wherein the operator station server is configured to establish a presence of the abort condition automatically by one of (i) recognition of a possible overloading of the operator station server, (ii) receipt of the automation configuration from the engineering station server and (iii) processing of the automation configuration by the operator station server.
