1.5 Communication Network
ECS-100 applies the mature computer network communication technology, to construct the
redundant data transmission network with high speed, and achieve the promptly transmission of
process control real-time data and history data.
ECS-100 communication network has 4 levels: management information network, process

information network, process control network and I/O bus. System architecture is shown in Figure
1-2.
6
Figure 1-2 ECS-100 network architecture

Management information network
Management information network applies the Ethernet technology, to send and manage the
plant-level information. It is the information channel for whole plant comprehensive management.
The network obtains the process parameter and running information via server station during
system running, and sends the schedule instruction and production direction information from
upper management computer. It applies large network database to achieve information sharing,
and can connect the control system of all devices with the enterprise information management
network, to achieve the comprehensive management, schedule, statistics and decision of plant
level.
Process information network
Process information network can adopts C/S network mode (corresponding to SupView software
package) and equal C/S network mode (corresponding to AdvanTrol-Pro software package). The
real-time data communication and history data query for real-time data, real-time alarm, history
alarm, history trend, history alarm and operation log in operation nodes can be achieved by the
process information network.
Process control network (SCnetII)
ECS-100 applies the industrial Ethernet SCnet Ⅱ with high speed as the process control network.
It connects the control station and operation node of system, and is the channel for transmitting
process control real-time information and has high promptness and reliability. SCnet Ⅱ can
connect the information management network, process information network of upper level and
devices from other manufacturers via the hanged server station.
7
Communication interfaces of SCnet Ⅱ adopts the special Ethernet controller. Data transmission
conforms to the TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols.
The communication media, network controller and drive interface of SCnet Ⅱ all can be seta as
redundant. In redundant mode, the send station (source) marks the time of transmission data
package (message), the receive station (target) implements the error detect, and judgment for
information channel fault and the crowding. If it is verified as correct, choose the better of the 2
redundant data packages by time or other methods, and filter out the repeat and wrong data
package. When one information channel has error, another will take charge the communication of
the whole system, and ensure the smoothly of the communication.
For data transmission, besides the functions such as circle redundant check, command/respond
over-time check, carrier wave loss check, conflict check and automatic re-send obtained by the
special controller, the application software also provides functions such as routing control, flow
control, error control, automatic re-send (for the data loss cannot be detected in physical layer)
and message transmission time sequence check, etc., to ensure the response character of
network and shortens the respond time less than 1s.
SCnet Ⅱ also has perfect functions such as online real-time diagnosis, error check and
correction besides ensuring reliable transmission for process data with high speed. The system
has SCnet Ⅱ network diagnosis software. The diagnosis contents cover every operation node,
redundant port (A-port and B-port) and component (switch, network controller and transmission
media, etc.) in the network. If components in the network have error, the error status will be shown
in the operation node promptly to inform the user to maintain.
I/O Bus (SBUS)
I/O bus is the internal communication network of control station and called as SBUS, which has 2
levels. SBUS-S2 connects the controller and data transmission module. SBUS-S1 network
connects data transmission module and I/O module. The architecture of SBUS is shown in Figure
1-3.

3.2 Process Information Service
AdvanTrol-Pro makes the ECS-100 system implement a process information network (also called
operation network) with the characteristics of peer to peer C/S on the basis of network strategy
and data grouping. Via the process information network, the real-time data communication and
history data query of real-time data, real-time alarm, history trend, history alarm and operation log
can be implemented among operation nodes.
Real-time data service
Server sends data to client: For a data group, the client sends an application for tags to the master
server when finding its existence, and the master server sends data to the client at a certain
interval; when the client do not need the data, the master server will stop sending them after a
certain period time.
Client sends data to server (data write back): client sends data to the master server by using tools
such as graphics via process information network. Notes: In the case of a station as client,
value-setting action through task is invalid.
Real-time alarm service
For a data group, the master server take the initiative to identify whether there is a client or not and
send real-time alarm signals. In addition, the redundant server receives alarm signals from the
master server too. An alarm signal involves alarming time and acknowledging time.
Signals of real-time alarm acknowledging at master server, redundant server and client is sent via
process information network to other master server, redundant server and client for real-time
alarm. Real-time alarm whose acknowledging is at local operation node is effective only to the
operation node itself.
History trends service
For trends enquiry, if a data group strategy of the station is configured as server-based connection
or local connection, then enquiry of trends recorded at the station is available; if the station is client,
then enquiry of trends recorded by trend master server is available.
History alarm service
For alarm enquiry, if a data group strategy of the station is configured as server-based connection
or local connection, then enquiry of alarm recorded at the station is available; if the station is client,
then enquiry of alarm recorded by alarm master server is available.
Operation logs service
Operation log is operation node concerned. Operation nodes configured as local connection or
server record operation logs generated by the station itself, and operation nodes configured as
client send operation logs to master server and redundant server.
For enquiry of operation logs, if the station is configured as master (redundant) server or local
25
connection, then enquiry of operation logs recorded at the station is available; if the station is client,
then enquiry of operation log recorded by operation log master server is available.
