    The document describes the architecture of a distributed control system (DCS) with three main components: 1) Field control units and microPLCs that execute control logic and directly scan I/O in the field. 2) SCADA data servers that interface the DCS to other devices and can also execute control logic. 3) Operator workstations for process monitoring and engineering workstations for configuration. Exception-based technology minimizes communication traffic between the components.

    The document discusses the architecture of a distributed control system including components like the field control unit, microFCU, SCADA data server, engineering workstation and operator workstation.

    The main components discussed are the field control unit, microFCU, SCADA data server, engineering workstation, operator workstation and process historical archiver.

    The engineering workstation is used for project development and configuration while the operator workstation provides the operator interface with graphics, alarms, logging and trends. The engineering workstation also includes an operator workstation for testing.

    Engineering Operator !orkstations
    The Engineering !orkstation "E!S# is for project development, including
    configuration of graphics, logic, alarms, security, etc. Typically, the EWS is a PC running
    Windows 2!"P.
    The Operator !orkstation "O!S# provides the operator interface, including color
    graphics, faceplates, alarms, logging, trends, diagnostics, etc. The EWS includes an #WS
    for testing and trou$leshooting. Typically, the #WS is a PC running Windows 2!"P.

    standalone or can share an #WS wor*station. Typically, the P() is a PC running

    &et'orking and Communications
    &C#S supports redundant and non+redundant fi$er optic and Ethernet local net'orks
    using the TCP!,P networ*ing protocol for standardi-ed, advanced application
    connectivity.
    The .)/!W)/ can $e e0tended to other sites inside or outside the plant using such
    remote communications technologies as satellite, radio, microwave, and dial+up running
    such standard protocols as TCP!,P, 1od$us, #PC, ''E, etc.
    o!
    (acility or $rocess )
    This area illustrates a process that re2uires significant monitoring and control. ) local
    operator uses the color graphic Operator !orkstation "O!S# to monitor and control the
    process, and the (ield Control Unit "(CU# e0ecutes se2uential and regulatory control
    logic.
    Exception*based technology is used to transfer only data that needs to $e archived or
    shared with other nodes, thus minimi-ing communications traffic.
    .ocal monitoring and control also helps insulate this site from failures elsewhere in the
    system. )n optional redundant configuration ma*es even local shutdowns rare.
    o!
    (acility or $rocess +
    (ere &C#S serves as a true data concentrator. The process at this site does not re2uire a
    local operator, $ut does $enefit from local control.
    The SCADA Data Ser%er "SDS# interfaces &C#S to P.Cs, %ield$us technologies, 3T&s,
    P.C ,!#, and other third+party devices.
    The S'S can e0ecute se2uential and regulatory logic and directly scan supported ,!#. ,t
    can also act as a data gateway allowing &C#S to wor* with just a$out any device you can
    thin* of.
    4ust li*e facility or process 5, the configuration at this location minimi-es communication
    traffic, isolates the location from failures elsewhere, and is availa$le in a redundant
    configuration.
    Typically, an S'S is a ruggedi-ed industrial computer running Windows 2!"P,
    although direct ,!# scanning is run under 6/", the leading real+time operating system.
    o!
    (acility or $rocess ,
    This area re2uires local control $ut does not necessarily need an on site operator.
    The &C#S micro(CU is a small P.C that e0ecutes se2uential and regulatory logic and
    directly scans on$oard ,!#.
    The &C#S micro%C& can replace 3T&s at a significant reduction in cost and power
    consumption 7 plus it can provide local intelligent control of devices, which 3T&s can8t
    do.
