What does the DCS system mean? How DCS system maintenance becomes easy

Foreword

What does the DCS system mean? DCS is the acronym (Distributed Control System) of a distributed control system. It is also called a distributed control system in the domestic automation industry.

The DCS system is a multi-level computer system that is composed of a process control level and a process monitoring level and is based on a communication network, and integrates technologies such as Computer, Communication, Display (CRT), and Control.

The basic idea is

·Distributed control ·Centralized operation

·Level management · Flexible configuration

Easy to configure

The DCS system mainly consists of field control stations (I/O stations), data communication systems, human-machine interface units (operator stations OPS, engineer stations ENS), cabinets, and power supplies. The system has an open architecture and can provide multiple layers of open data interfaces.

(6) It is recommended that the inspection of the DCS network be conducted once every month. Check regularly to use the "troubleshooting" software.

V. Maintenance instructions during overhaul

1. During the overhaul period, the DCS system should be thoroughly maintained.

(1) Maintenance and repair of the system, including thorough dust cleaning, wiring changes, etc.

(2) Concentrate on issues that are found during routine inspections and during regular inspections that cannot be dealt with in a timely manner, such as system upgrades, configuration downloads, etc.

(3) The system should backup the DCS system configuration before overhauling, and upload and back up the system operating parameters (such as PID, etc.).

(4) To change the configuration, control and interlocking procedures during the overhaul, the responsible persons of the crafts, equipments, electrical and instrumentation must be organized to participate in the interlocking commissioning and form an interlocking commissioning record.

(5) Check whether the power supply and grounding system meet the requirements during the inspection.

(6) Make DCS maintenance records during major repairs in a timely manner.

2. System maintenance steps during overhaul

The first step: check proofread backup

Check whether the software backup, configuration file backup, control, and process data backups are correct and complete.

The second step: cut off the power in the following order

(1) After each operating station exits the real-time monitoring and operating system in turn, the operator's computer and display power supply of the operating station are turned off;

(2) Turn off the power supply box of the control station one by one;

(3) Close the power switch of each branch;

(4) Turn off the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) switch;

(5) Turn off the main power switch.

The third step: DCS power maintenance

(1) Operation station and control station power outage and maintenance. Including the internal control of the IPC, the control station cage, power box and other components of dust cleaning.

(2) Maintenance and troubleshooting should be performed for daily inspections and faults found during regular inspections that cannot be dealt with in a timely manner.

(3) Instrument and line maintenance: including power supply lines, I/O signal lines, communication lines, terminal blocks, relays, safety barriers, etc. Ensure that the instruments work properly, the lines are connected reliably, and the labels are clear and correct.

(4) Grounding system maintenance. Including terminal inspection, grounding inspection of each operation station (IPC, monitor), grounding check of each control station (power supply, cage), and resistance test to ground.

Step 4: After the maintenance work of the site and the DCS is completed, check to see if the following conditions for re-powering are met:

(1) First of all, contact the experts of process, electrical, equipment, and instrumentation to confirm whether the conditions for powering on the DCS system are satisfied.

(2) After confirming that the total power supply provided by the electric power meets the requirements, close the main circuit breaker and check the output voltage separately.

(3) Close the circuit breakers in the distribution box and check the output voltage separately.

(4) If equipped with UPS or regulated power supply, check if the output voltage of UPS or regulated power supply is normal.

Step 5: System Power Up and Test

(1) Start the engineer station, server station, operation station, and check the power box of the system in sequence.

(2) Check whether each power box is working properly, whether the power fan is working, and whether the 5V and 24V indicators are normal.

(3) Check whether the folders and files of the system software and application software of each computer are correct; there is no major change in the remaining space of the hard disk and pass the disk surface test.

(4) Compile and download the modified configuration.

(5) Observe whether there is a fault in the fault diagnosis that is monitored in real time by each operator station.

(6) Open the control station door, observe whether the card is working properly, and whether there is any fault display (FAIL lamp is on).

(7) Power Supply Redundancy Test

The redundant AC-to-220 VAC total line is opened separately, and the other AC power supply circuits lose power, but the system should still work normally.

Separately turn on the redundant DC power supply, close the other DC power supplies, and measure the voltage of 5V and 24V on the power terminal of each cage (stand).

(8) Communication redundancy test: Connect one of the communication lines of the redundant communication lines (the other communication line is disconnected) and use the download configuration function to test whether it is normal. If both of them are normal, the communication network is normal.

(9) Card redundancy test: Check whether the redundancy is normal by inserting and removing the mutually redundant card.

Note: If you dial out one of the redundant master control card and data forwarding card and plug it back in, you must wait until the data copy is completed before you can dial another redundant card. Otherwise, serious consequences will occur in the production process.

The sixth step: control, process parameter inspection

(1) Proofreading all the control and process parameters that have been successfully run (due to the configuration modification download, some parameters may appear chaotic and need to be re-entered).

(2) The replacement of control loops and newly added control loops (programs) for field instruments (transmitters, regulators, etc.) require re-tuning and commissioning.
