1) PLC 2) DCS 3) PC - Based Control. PLC : Introduced in the late 1960 to replace Relays and Hard-wired
Programming.

DCS : Introduced in the Mid-1970 to replace pneumatic controls by using computers.


PC-Based Control : Introduced by the early 1980s to avoid the
proprietary PLC & DCS systems.

DCS EVOLUTION
LOCAL CONTROL : Initially control was performed local to the equipment
control. The ADVANTAGE was low wiring costs .DISADVANTAGES were not much control, monitoring, alarming & history.

CENTRALISED CONTROL: With the advent of minicomputer, sensors and


actuators were into the Central Control (Computer).

DISTRIBUTED CONTROL: With the advent of microcomputer, Distributed


control systems were installed in the plants near to the control room via proprietary digital communications lines called as Data Hiway. First DCS was developed by Honeywell,U.S in 1975. The ADVANTAGES were greatly reduced wiring costs, much more limited failure and less cost to add more points. The DISADVANTAGES were that wiring costs were that wiring costs were still significant and there was lack of interoperability among controllers of various manufacturers due to the proprietary protocols. Hence the user was locked into a single vendor.

History of Process Control Signal


Around 50 years ago, most plant used 3-15psi pneumatic signal to control their process. The last change change in signal standard was the open protocol HART digital communications format. The HART protocol provides simultaneous digital communications with the 4-20 mA output. The next protocol change will be fieldbus. Fieldbus is entirely digital-there is no analog Signal. Fieldbus also allows migration of control functions to field devices. Process control Timeline The Evolution of Signal Standard Signal standards have evolved over the years, starting with the 3-15 psi standard. Digital: Fieldbus There are also other communication methods, but they have not gained widespread acceptance. Digital plus Analog: HART with 4-20mA With many standard there is typically a slow transition period as plant Analog: 4-20mA engineers and Pneumatic: 3-15 psi managers test period does gain widespread acceptance. However, once the benefits of the 1940 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 Fieldbus become tested and proven, more plant will install Fieldbus because of its

Fieldbus is more than just a new signal communications protocol, but a whole new way to control the process. With the release of the low fieldbus (H1), the entire fieldbus will be defined. Most of the recent published literature has focused on the intricate details of the fieldbus architecture, especially those layers that have not been released. However, Maintenance except Workstation information system physical layer and the user layer, these layer are transparent to the engineers and the manager.

For the purpose of Process control, the top and bottom four layers are used. Layers 5 and 6 are important to large commercial networks.

Field Bus
Field Bus is a bi-directional digital communication that interconnects smart field devices to control system or to instrument located in the control room. Field Bus is based on the OSI (Open System Interconnect), which was developed by the ISO (International Standard Organization) to represent the various functions required in any Layer Function Communication network.
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Application Presentation Session Transport Network Link Physical Provides formatted data Converts data Handles the dialogue Secures the transport connection Establishes network connections Establishes the data link connection Connects the equipment

Field Bus

The OSI model consists of seven layers. However for real time application layers 3 to 6 are not considered since they deal with transference of data among networks. For such application following layers are used: LAYER 1 - PHYSICAL LAYER Defines the type of signal, transmitting medium, data transmission speed, etc. LAYER 2 DATALINK LAYER Define the interface between the physical layer and the application layer. It establishes how the messages shall be structured and normalizes the use of multiple masters. LAYER 3 APPLICATION LAYER Defines howwas invented by an Indian engineer Mr. Ramrepresentation. The Fieldbus data is specified, its addresses and its Ramchandran
( M.S in Comp. Tech , Texas)

PHYSICAL LAYER
The Physical layer defines the medium that transport the messages frames, the signal shape and amplitude limits, data transfer rate, and power distribution. Technical Characteristics: Physical Medium Three types are defined: wires, optic fiber, and radio signals. The specification for wire has been already approved. Bit rate for wire media 31.25 Kbps (H1) 1 megabits and 2.5 megabits (H2). H1 and H2 are classification of the two hanks of Field Bus target applications. H1 has low speed and utilizes existing wires. H2 has high speed and may require independent wires to power up field devices. Number of devices per link (31.25Kbps) 2 to 32 devices, without power and no IS (intrinsic safety). 2 to 6 with power and IS. Maximum distance Up to 1900 meters for 31.25Kbps, without repeaters. Up to 750 meters for 1 megabits. Up to 500 meter for 2.5 megabits.

PHYSICAL LAYER
Signal Modulation Manchester bi phase L synchronous. Physical layer preamble on transmissions, the physical layer will add to the data sent by the layer above a preamble and one start delimiter in the beginning of the frame and one end delimiter at the end delimiter at the end of the of the frame.

DATA LINK LAYER


The Data Link Layer will assure the integrity of the message by using the frame check sequence: Two bytes added to the frames and a polynomial calculation of all frame data. The Data Link Layer also checks to see that the data reaches the devices correctly. Technical characteristics Medium Access: There are three forms to access the network: Token passing: Token is the right to initiate a transaction on the bus. A device must have the token to initiate a conversation. As soon it finishes it will return the token to the LAS (Link Active Scheduler). The LAS send the token to the unit that requested in either in a pre-configured way or via scheduling. Immediate response: A master station will give an opportunity to the station to reply with one frame. Requested token: a device request a token by using a code in any of the response sent to the bus. The

APPLICATION LAYER AND MANAGEMENT


The Application Layer provides a simple interface to the end users application. Basically , it defines how to read, write , interpret and execute a message or command. A big part of this job is to define the message syntax. The contents include the requested message, action taken, and the response message. The management defines how to initialize the network : tag assignment, address assignment, clock assignment, clock synchronization, distributed application scheduling across the network or association of the input and output parameters of the function blocks. It also controls the operation of the network with statistic of faults and detection of the addition of the new element or the absence of a station. The system always look for the new stations on the bus by polling the possible station addresses.

HART COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL


Why HART protocol ? 4-20 ma is tried, tested and widely used standard but only limited amount of information is sent by a 4-20 ma signal. HART (Hiway Addressable Remote Transducer) protocol enhances these operations by transmitting digital data along with the 4-20 ma signal without interfering with it ! HART permits two-way communications. It also has all digital mode that allows instrument to be connected to a single cable, cutting installation costs dramatically. Features : 1. Field proven concept that is easy to understand and use. 2. Compatible with existing 4-20 ma systems. 3. Simultaneous point-to-point 4-20 ma and digital communication. 4. Alternative multi-drop mode. 5. Measured variables, tag no. , range and span settings, device information, diagnostics and simple messages transmitted. 6. Digital response time of 500 msec; burst mode response of 300 msec. 7. Open architecture; freely available to any vendor and every user.

HART COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL


Method of Operation : The Hart protocol operates using the FSK principal. The digital data is made up from two frequencies 1200 Hz and 2200 Hz representing bits 1 and 0 respectively. Sinusoidal waves of these frequencies are superimposed on the DC analog signal cables to give simultaneous analog and digital communications

HART Protocol Structure : HART follows the basic Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model, developed by the International Organization for Standard (ISO). The HART protocol uses a reduced OSI model, implementing only layers 1,2 and 7

HART PROTOCOL LAYERS


Layer 1, the physical layer, operates on the FSK principle Data transfer rate: 1200 bit/s Logic 0 frequency: 2200 Hz Logic 1 frequency: 1200 Hz the vast majority of existing wiring is used for this type of digital communication. Layer 2, the link layer establishes the format for a hart message. HART is a master/slave protocol. the structure of these messages is given below: Preambl SD e AD CD BC Statu s Dat a Parity

SD start character. AD display terminal and field addresses. CD HART instruction. BC Byte count. Status Field device and communication status (only from field device to master) The individual characters are : 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 bit for odd parity and 1

HART PROTOCOL LAYERS

Layer 7, the application layer, brings the HART instruction into play. The master sends messages with requests for specified values, actual values and any other data or parameters available from the device. The field device interprets these instruction as defined in the HART protocol. The response message provides the master with the status information and data from the slave. For slave devices, logical uniform communication is provided by the following command sets: Universal commands understood by all field devices. Common practice commands provide functions which can be carried out by many, though not all, field devices. Drive-specific commands provide functions which are restricted to an individual

MODBUS
The MODBUS protocol describes an industrial communication and distributed control system developed by Gould-Modicon. MODBUS is a Master/Slave communications protocol, whereby one device (Master), controls all serial activities by selectively polling one or more slave devices. The protocol provides for one master device and up to 247 slave devices on a common line. Each device is assigned an address to distinguish it from all other connected device. Only a master initiates a transaction. Transactions are either a query/response type, or a broadcast/no-response type. A transaction comprises a single query and single response frame or a single broadcast frame. Certain characteristic of a MODBUS protocol are fixed such as frame format, frame sequences, handling of communication errors and exception conditions, and the functions performed.

RS-232 Communication

RS-232 is an asynchronous communication network. Normally, a binary system is used to transmit data in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format. This code translates human readable code (letter/numbers) into computer readable code(1s and 0s). There are 2 types of RS-232 devices. The first is called a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device and a common example is a computer. The other type of device is called DCE (Data Communication Equipment) device and a common example is a modem. In RS-232 the first thing a terminal send is start bit. This start bit is a synchronizing bit added just before each character being send. The last thing send is a stop bit. This stop bit informs to the receiving terminal that the last character has just being send.

RS-232 Communication
RS-232 communication is done through Serial port which usually has a 9-pin configuration. The pin and their purposes are shown below.

Ethernet
Ethernet was originally designed by Digital, Intel and Xerox (DIX) in the early 1970s and has been designed as a broadcast system. The original format for Ethernet was developed in Xerox Palo Alto Research center (PARC), California in 1972. The two inventors were Robert Metcalf and David Boggs. Ethernet version 1.0 and 2.0 followed until the IEEE 802.3 committee rejigged the Ethernet II packet to form the Ethernet 802.3 packet. Nowadays you will see either Ethernet II (DIX) format or Ethernet 802.3 format being used. The Ether part of Ethernet denotes that the system is not meant to be restricted only to one medium type, copper cables, fiber cables and even radio waves can be used. Briefly, stated Ethernet what is referred to as the Physical layer and the Datalink layers protocols. The physical layer defines the cable types, connectors and electrical characteristics. The Data link layer defines the format an Ethernet frames, the error checking method and the

Ethernet
10Base5 Traditionally, Ethernet is used over thick coaxial cable called 10Base5 ( the 10 denotes 10 Mbps, base means that the signal is baseband i.e, takes the whole bandwidth of the cable, 5 denotes 500m maximum length ). The minimum length between stations is 2.5m. The cable is run in one long length forming a Bus Topology. The segments are terminated by 50 ohm resistor and the shield should be grounded at one end only.

10Base2

Thin Ethernet (Thinnet) uses RG-58 cable and is called 10Base2 (the 2 denotes 200 mtr maximum length cable). Each station connects to the Thinnet by way of

Ethernet

10BaseT Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly important to use Ethernet across Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or Shielded Twisted Pair (STP), this being called 10BaseT (the T denotes twisted pair). UTP is installed in star wire format and Ethernet Hubs with UTP ports (RJ45) centrally located. Also there should be no more than a 11.5db signal loss and the minimum distance between devices is 2.5 meters. The advantages of the UTP/STP technology are gained from the flexibility of the system, with respect to moves, changes, fault finding, reliability and security. 10BaseF 10BaseF standard developed by IEEE 802.3 committee defines the use of Fiber for Ethernet. 10BaseFB allows up to 2 Km per segment and is defined for Backbone

Wireless LAN
Wireless LAN is based on standard IEEE 802.11b which throughput of up to 11Mbps in the 2.4 Ghz band. Similar Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) are Bluetooth and Infrared. Ethernet works on the CSMA/CD technology but wireless LAN has difficulty of detecting collision in Radio frequency. Therefore they are using CSMA/CA (Collision Sense Multiple Access / Collision Avoidance) technology to transmit data. Physical Layer is either Photonic or Radio frequency.

Process control Software characteristics


The most important feature of process control system is that it needs to be reliable. The process control system used has to be completely crash-proof and any changes in the system need to be made on-line. The process control needs to be made real time, which means that it can update the I/O data table and process the control program in the time required by the process. A process control system that is deterministic refers to whether the operating system allows the highest priority task to work without interruption from task with lower priority. Software offerings in the automation and the process control fields must be versatile and open enough to address the needs of different applications. Finally the chosen solution must deliver tangible, quantifiable values such as : 1. Reducing project implementation time and cost. 2. Improving time-to-market. 3. Achieving higher production and quality. 4. Cutting maintenance and training cost.

PC-based control system features


Unlike the other systems, PCs provide a more open architecture making them ideal for improving, optimizing and integrating the overall automation process, as well as conducting control task. In addition PCs offer the following features : Lower cost. Ease of use. Graphical user interface. Easy integration of logic, motion and process control. Simplified application development. Software portability Independence from proprietary control system. Using PCs enable the following functions, Millisecond time stamping which is essential to utilities. Real time control. Sequence of events. Alarming. Data collection.
