Abstract
A system for automation, monitoring and measurement acquisition for technical processes, having measurement and control units (2, 14, 15, 16) that are connected to sensors and actuators of the processes (1, 8, 9, 10) via measurement and control lines (3, 11, 12, 13), having a system distributed in a data network (4), in which system automation modules (44, 45, 46) are combined into automation units (39, 31, 32, 18, 19) and automation units are combined into automation groups (99), and having a higher-level information plane (22) whose information programs (23 to 27) have reading access to the automation units.
Claims14
A system for automation, monitoring and measurement acquisition for a technical process having measurement and control units (2, 14, 15, 16) that are connected to sensors and actuators of the processes (1, 8, 9, 10) via measurement and control lines (3, 11, 12, 13), comprising:
- a data network (4) with an automation group (99) having system automation units (18, 19, 20) each of which has its own program code and is executable independently of other of said automation units (18, 19, 20), and
- system automation modules (44, 45, 46) in said data network (4) combined into automation units (39, 31, 32, 18, 19), each automation module having its own program code and being executable independently of the other automation modules, said data network (4) includes an information level (22) at a higher level than said automation units (18, 19, 20), said information level (22) containing information programs (23, 24, 25, 26, 27) having reading access to said automation units (18, 19, 20) and to said automation modules (44, 45, 46) and
- wherein said information programs (23, 24, 25, 26, 27) of said information level (22) are configurable to lack access to predetermined automation groups.
A system for automation, monitoring and measurement acquisition for a technical process having measurement and control units (2, 14, 15, 16) that are connected to sensors and actuators of the processes (1, 8, 9, 10) via measurement and control lines (3, 11, 12, 13), comprising:
- a data network (4), and
- system automation modules (44, 45, 46) in said data network (4) combined into automation units (39, 31, 32, 18, 19), each automation module having its own program code and being executable independently of the other automation modules, said automation units (31, 32) being structured in a supervisory plane (33.36), a plane of automation modules (34, 37) and a report plane (35, 38), and supervisory plane (33, 36) being designated for the setting up of automation units (18, 19, 20, 31, 32) and automation modules (44, 45, 46) and for the starting and stopping of the automation modules and also displays items of information about the status of the individual automation modules (34, 37), said plane of automation modules (34, 37) facilitate development of additional automation modules (44, 45, 46), which are executable independently of one another and each have their own program code and
- wherein, in said report plane (35, 38, 43), a number of reports (47, 48, 49) can be developed, which are executable independently of one another, each report having available its own program code.
