ONLINE PROCESS SIMULATION AND MONITORING

Most of modern plants are monitored and controlled via “visualization” or SCADA-class technology. SCADAclass software interfaces with hardware connected to the process plant measurement sensors and output devices through Programmable Logic Controllers PLC and Distributed Control Systems DCS. SCADA systems provide visual interface in the form of mimic displays and crucially access to all ONLINE process parameters that can be downloaded to Microsoft Excel™ via data highways, for data analysis and optimization.

The ONLINE INTEGRATION is achieved by automatically scheduled retrieval of real plant process data and equipment parameters from SCADA directly to the powerful and flexible CHEMCAD process simulation software developed by Chemstations Inc. NorParOnline A/S has developed the SCADA2CC software that accomplishes the SCADA/CHEMCAD integration task in online mode. This solution has successfully simulated all the economically significant chemical processes and sustainable technologies. The SCADA2CC interface facilitates the calibration of the process model in order to reflect true plant behavior more accurately, and enables ONLINE process optimization based on economic criteria.

SCADA SYSTEM / HMI / DCS CONSOLE SOFTWARE / PROCESS VISUALIZATION SOFTWARE

All the terms below denote exactly the same thing:

  • SCADA = Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition
  • HMI = Human-Machine Interface
  • Process Visualization software
  • DCS console software

SCADA/HMI/Visualization/DCS console is a class of software that presents data available at DCS (Distributed Control System) or PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) in a form that a human can understand. The plant personnel can also manipulate the settings of DCS/PLC directly from such SCADA systems, as a modern alternative to a traditional control room.

SCADA systems come from independent software houses or from DCS vendors. The most popular independent SCADA systems are Intellution’s FIX, OSI’s PI, and Wonderware’s Intouch.All state-of-art SCADA systems are compatible with Microsoft Excel.
