Description

In Process Control System, collect and to large data machine delivering data
Technical field
The disclosure relates generally to process plant and Process Control System and relate more specifically to support the equipment of large data in process plant and Process Control System.
Background technology
Distributed process control system, such as the distributed process control system using in chemistry, oil or other process plant generally include via the analog/digital bus of simulation, numeral or combination or via wireless communication link or network service be coupled to one or more process controller of one or more field apparatus.The field apparatus that can be for example valve, valve positioner, switch and transmitter (for example temperature, pressure, level and flow sensor) is positioned at process environment and general execution physics or process control function.Such as open or shut-off valve, measurement process parameters etc. to be controlled at one or more process of carrying out in process plant or system.Smart devices, such as meeting, the field apparatus of known Fieldbus agreement also can be carried out in controller the control calculating generally implemented, warning function and other controls function.Also be usually located at process controller in the environment of plant and receive the signal of the process measurement that indication field apparatus carries out and/or out of Memory and the implementation controller application relevant with field apparatus, this controller application examples is as moved different control modules, these control modules make process control decision-making, the Information generation control signal based on receiving and with equipment at the scene, such as with the control module of middle execution or piece are coordinated.Control module in controller transmits control signal with the operation of at least a portion of control procedure factory or system thus by communication line or chain road direction field apparatus.
Conventionally by data highway, make from the Information Availability of field apparatus and controller in one or more other hardware device, such as being conventionally positioned in pulpit or away from operator's workstation, personal computer or computing equipment, data history records, Report Builder, centralized data base or other centralized supervision computing equipment of other position of the harsher environment of plant.Each hardware device in these hardware devices is conventionally crossed over process plant or is crossed over concentrating partially of process plant.These hardware devices operation application, these application can for example make operator can carry out function about control procedure and/or operating process factory, such as change process control routine setting, be modified in the operation of the control module in controller or field apparatus, the current state of view procedure, check the warning that field apparatus and controller generate, the operation of simulation process is controlled software, maintenance and Reconfigurations database for trainer or test process.The data highway of hardware device, controller and field apparatus utilization can comprise the combination of wired communication path, wireless communications path or wired and wireless communications path.
As example, the DeltaV that Emerson Process Management sells tMcontrol system is included in and in process plant, is positioned at the device memory storage of different location and a plurality of application of being carried out by these equipment.User can be created or change process control module and to special-purpose distributed director, download these process control modules via data highway in the configuration application existing in one or more workstation or computing equipment.Conventionally, these control modules are caused by the functional block interconnecting communicatedly, these functional blocks are the objects in OO programming protocol, and these objects are based on carrying out the function in control model to their input and providing output to other functional block in control model.Configuration application also can allow to configure deviser and creates or change operator interface, these operator interfaces by check be used for to operator show data and make operator can change setting in process control routine, such as set-point.Each nonshared control unit, and one or more field apparatus is stored and the application of execution corresponding controllers in some cases, this controller application operation is controlled function to the control module of its appointment and download to implement real process.Can be on one or more operator's workstation (or in one or more remote computing device with operator's workstation and the data highway communication connection) application of checking carried out via data highway, from controller application, receive data and user's interface to process control system design person, operator or user show these data and a plurality of different views can be provided, operator's view, slip-stick artist's view, any view in technician's view etc.Data history records application is stored in data history records equipment and by data history records equipment conventionally to be carried out, some or all data in the data that provide on data highway are collected and be stored in to this data history records equipment, and configuration database application can move with storage active procedure control routine and configures and the data of associated in being connected to the another computing machine of data highway.Alternatively, configuration database can be arranged in the workstation identical with configuration application.
The framework of current known process control plant and Process Control System is subject to limited controller and device memory, communication bandwidth and controller and device handler ability to be affected consumingly.For example, in current known Process Control System framework, conventionally minimize or at least carefully use of the dynamic and static nonvolatile memory in Management Controller.Therefore, for example,, during system configuration (in advance), user conventionally must select which data in filing or preservation controller, will preserve its frequency and whether use compression, and correspondingly configures this finite data rule set to controller.Thereby, often filing may fault get rid of and process analysis procedure analysis in useful data, and if collect it, may be because useful information is lost in data compression.
In addition, for the controller storage being minimized in current known Process Control System uses, to workstation or computing equipment report (as indicated in the configuration of controller), the data of the selection of filing or preservation are used in proper data historical record or the storage of data vertical shaft.Being used for the current techniques of report data does not utilize the communication resource good enoughly and caused amount controller loading.In addition, due to the time delay of the communication at historical record or vertical shaft and sampling, so Data Collection and add timestamp often asynchronous with real process.
Similarly, in batch Process Control System, in order to minimize controller storage, use, batch method of controller configuration and snapshot conventionally keep being stored in centralized supervision computing equipment or position (being for example stored in data vertical shaft or historical record) and will to controller, transmit when needed.In such strategy communicating by letter in controller and between workstation or centralized supervision computing equipment and controller, introduce the significantly load of burst.
In addition, the previous expensive of the ability of the relational database of current known Process Control System and performance limitations and disk storage played vital role when meeting the target of concrete application data structure being changed into independent community or vertical shaft (silo).For example, at DeltaV tMin system, in three different application databases or data vertical shaft, preserve the filing of process model, continuously historical record and batch and event data.Each vertical shaft has for accessing the distinct interface of the data of storage therein.
Construction data has produced barrier in the such mode of data of access and use historical record in this way.The basic reason that for example product quality changes and the data correlation in the more than one data vertical shaft in these data vertical shafts.Yet due to the different file structures of vertical shaft, so can not provide, allow fast and easily to access the instrument of these data for analyzing.In addition, must carry out audit or synchronizing function to guarantee to cross over the data consistent of different vertical shafts.
During the restriction of current known process plant discussed above and Process Control System and other restriction may and be optimized in the operation of process plant or Process Control System, for example factory's operation, fault get rid of and/or prediction modeling during undesirably show they itself.For example loaded down with trivial details and tediously long workflow is forced in such restriction, must carry out these workflows to obtain the data of getting rid of and generate the model upgrading for fault.In addition, the data of acquisition may be inaccurate due to the timestamp of data compression, insufficient bandwidth or displacement.
" data greatly " generally refer to collecting of one or more data set, and this one or more data set is so big or complicated to such an extent as to traditional database management tool and/or data handling utility (for example relational database and desktop statistics bag) can not be managed data set in allowed time amount.Conventionally, use the application of large data to be businesslike and to take terminal user as guiding or focus.For example large data can be used and handle to web search engine, social media application, marketing application and retail application.Data can be supported by distributed data base greatly, and this distributed data base allows to utilize completely the parallel processing capability of modern multi-usage, multiple-core server.
