Total Plant Control
From automatically determining the most effective generator loading to remote breaker control to pump control, MSE-Tetragenics' Plant Control Systems (PCS) provide complete, reliable control of every phase of plant operations. The PCS responds automatically based on pre-set parameters while continuously monitoring and protecting critical equipment at one or multiple plant sites.
G-Series - Plant Control System
The G-Series PCS offers many advantages including enhanced CPU performance, a real-time operating system, multiple interfaces and protocol support, easily expandable input/output (I/O), WTV-32 human-machine interface (HMI), and integrated sequence of events and alarm queuing.
G-Series Board:
The G-Series board boasts performance up to 73 million instructions per second (MIPS) and supports up to 9 on-board serial ports with a serial port expansion board and additional peripheral ports. On-board software enhancements include the MC3000 SCADA Master in real-time Linux, dynamic port assignments, built-in communications analyzer, DNP3 and Modbus protocol support, ability for remote downloads, Ethernet connectivity to remote clients, a built-in web server, and one version of code for the entire system. Operating System: The PCS includes RTLinuxPro as an Operating System to provide flexible and scalable run-time software and proven reliability. Features include the following:
- wide support with many CPU architectures;
- an open design that is highly portable across many processors;
- over 1,800 application program interfaces;
- high performance microkernel design (fast multitasking, interrupt support, and preemptive and round robin scheduling);
- high compatibility with embedded hardware products;
- comprehensive networking facilities (optimized TCP/IP for real-time applications); and
- easy porting to MSE-Tetragenics hardware.
Architecture:
For robust and proven design, the PCS uses VMEbus architecture, which provides dynamically selectable address and data path, bandwidths up to 80 Mbyte/sec, rich interrupt structure and protocol, multiprocessing capability, and user-defined I/O. The structure is processor independent with open architecture and long-term viability.
MC3000 MasterControl System
Our MC3000 Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), PC-based Master is a key component of the PCS. It can control multiple plants within a system comprised of hundreds of Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) and perform disk-based operations such as historical data archiving. The software is configurable and customizable to meet the needs of any industrial process. And when used with our WinTetraVision 32 (WTV-32) HMI, operators have a flexible, scalable, and easy-to-use interface to control plant processes.
Following pre-programmed settings, the MC3000 Master initiates plant parameters. Operators can monitor and control the parameters locally or remotely using the WTV-32. The WTV-32 gives the operator graphical displays of critical plant parameters and overall system status. When a device or set value reaches an alarm state, the system displays the status, sounds an alarm, and initiates immediate corrective action automatically according to user-programmable parameters. An operator can also initiate the actions manually using online plant control operations. The system time stamps all alarms to a millisecond and stores them in a log file, which is used for reporting and analysis. Operators can view data locally and/or remotely using the WTV-32 and a web browser over a secure network.
