Definitions
- the invention relates to a computer-implemented method for providing a generic diagnostic model in a node of an automation network and to a system of automation technology.
- field devices are often used to detect and / or influence process variables.
- sensors such as
- Conductivity meters etc., which record the corresponding process variables level, flow, pressure, temperature, pH or conductivity.
- actuators such as valves or pumps, via which the flow of a liquid in a pipe section or the level in a container can be changed.
- field devices are all devices that are used close to the process and that provide or process process-relevant information. A variety of such field devices is manufactured and sold by the company Endress + Hauser.
- Bus systems connected to higher-level units are Profibus®,
- Control systems or control units such as SPS
- PLC Protein Logic Controller
- Process visualization, process monitoring, process control and commissioning of the field devices In order to optimize plant availability, diagnostic systems are used in modern systems in the area of individual field devices and sometimes also across subsegments or the entire plant. At the level of the field devices, various properties of the field device itself as well as properties of a process in which the field device is used are monitored and possibly evaluated by the respective field device in order to generate a diagnosis. The resulting
- the diagnostic information can be in the form of
- Diagnostic information required for the execution of their functions are transmitted. Which can be provided by a field device
- Fieldbus segment according to field device type, depending on the manufacturer and often also depending on the device version of the field device.
- Profibus DP, Profibus PA and HART have different diagnostic information
- the diagnostic messages that can be provided by a field device are usually bus-specific diagnostic information.
- Diagnostic information of the individual network nodes can not be uniformly recorded and / or interpreted by all participants, since their data structure, access methods and timing synchronization mechanisms are different or not uniform / standardized. This makes it more difficult for a higher-level unit to access diagnostic messages from field devices of different fieldbus segments.
- Condition monitoring unit a human condition monitoring unit Machine interface (English: Human Machine Interface, short: HMI) and / or a SCADA system (English expression: Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) considered.
- a human condition monitoring unit Machine interface English: Human Machine Interface, short: HMI
- SCADA system English expression: Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
- the object is achieved by a computer-implemented method for providing a generic diagnostic model and a system of automation technology.
- the object is achieved by a computer-implemented method for providing a generic diagnostic model in a node of an automation network, wherein the automation network has a plurality of subordinate fieldbus segments connected to the node, each having a plurality Fieldbus participants and the method comprises the following steps:
- Diagnostic information to be enriched with meta-information in addition, so accessed via the generic diagnostic model to specific diagnostic information of each field bus subscriber, in particular uniformly and / or temporally synchronized access.
- a generic diagnostic model is proposed, which allows a consolidated view of the specific diagnostic information of the field devices in subordinate fieldbus segments for unified propagation.
- information relating to the states of a field device is to be understood as specific diagnostic information.
- Diagnostic information is defined in accordance with Namur Recommendation NE 107 in four field device condition classes (Maintenance Requirement, Out of Specification, Function Check, and Failure), which provide information about the state of the field device in question.
- This diagnostic information includes the state of the device, textual description and
- diagnostic information in the form of a Short description (English short text) with "field device corroded" present.
- Clean cleaning fluid "are also included in the diagnostic information.
- meta information represents information that contains (additional) features about process values but does not include the process values themselves.
- a field device with a motor which outputs the speed of the motor as the process value.
- Meta information is then, for example, the value range, the physical unit of the speed, a maximum value or even a minimum value.
- the subordinate device information of the fieldbus participants is available in a structured manner (for example according to the Namur recommendation NE 107), including additional error classification in the fieldbus subscribers.
- Information is read, for example by means of a gateway, and enriched with additional information which can be derived from the error classification and the error standard NE107.
- additional information is more accurate
- Fieldbus participant pending error By analyzing the sources of error, a field bus user creates a prioritization of the errors that have occurred. By means of meta-information it is then possible to display the high-priority errors, ordered according to the priority, as well as their remedial measures.
- Diagnostic model accessed by a parent unit of the node. According to an advantageous embodiment, the access of the
- OPC UA is a new standard protocol for vendor-independent
- Field bus segments at least one Profibus DP, one Profibus PA, HART, Ehternet IP, Profinet or a Foundation Fieldbus segment used.
- Diagnostic information is merged via an OPC UA protocol in the node.
- the task is accomplished by a system of
- Fieldbus segments each having a plurality of field bus subscribers, the fieldbus subscribers of each fieldbus segment specific
- system further comprises at least one higher-level unit, which accesses the generic diagnostic model in the node via an OPC-UA protocol.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the system according to the invention provides that the node comprises a gateway.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the system according to the invention provides that the fieldbus segments have at least one Profibus DP, one Profibus PA or HART segment.
- An advantageous embodiment of the system according to the invention provides that the specific diagnostic information have at least one Profibus DP, one Profibus PA or HART-specific diagnostic information.
- An advantageous embodiment of the system according to the invention provides that the specific diagnostic information information, in particular diagnostic information, according to the NAMUR recommendation NE107 include.
- Fig. 1 a schematic representation of an automation network for explaining the method according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of an automation network 1 for explaining the method according to the invention.
- Automation network 1 comprises three field bus segments 4a, 4b, 4c which are connected via a common node 3 with a plurality of superordinated units 1 1.
- a plurality of systems come into consideration as higher-level units, in particular those which have an OPC-UA connection to the
- the higher-level unit can be a programmable logic controller (short: PLC) or process control system (short: PLS), a Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
- PLC programmable logic controller
- PLS process control system
- MES Manufacturing Execution System
- Production Planning and Control System PPS
- CRM Customer Relationship Management System
- HMI Human Machine Interface
- SCADA Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System
- the higher-level unit or units is / are connected to the node via a fieldbus with OPC-UA protocol 10, so that the unit or units can access the central node.
- the node 3 is in turn connected via a field bus with the various fieldbus segments.
- the first fieldbus segment 4a represents a segment based on Profibus DP. Accordingly, the field devices associated with the first fieldbus segment have specific Profibus DP diagnostic information.
- the second fieldbus segment 4b represents a segment based on Profibus PA. Accordingly, the field devices associated with the second fieldbus segment have specific Profibus PA diagnostic information.
- the third fieldbus segment 4b represents a HART-based segment. Accordingly, those associated with the third fieldbus segment
