A. INTRODUCTION TO PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEM
A. INTRODUCTION TO PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEM
This chapter deals with the introduction to process control system, system
concepts of distributed control system and the development history of process
control system.
A.1. PROCESS CONTROL BY CONTROLLERS
A temperature control loop using a controller is shown in the figure below. The
operator sets the temperature “setpoint (SV)”, and the controller automatically
adjusts the “manipulated variable (MV)” i.e. output (opening of valve which
controls steam flow) so as to minimize the deviation between measured
(temperature) “process variable (PV)” and target value “setpoint”. The process of
adjusting the manipulated variable to minimize the deviation between process
variable and setpoint is called “Feedback control”.
The indicating (PID) controller displays the measured process variable
(temperature of the liquid of the tank), and using a PID (P-Proportional, I-Integral
and D-Derivative) control algorithm, computes the manipulated variable output
(steam flow) that will minimize the deviation between process variable and
setpoint temperatures; i.e. it controls the tank temperature.

A.2. PROCESS CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The method to directly control process is roughly divided into two categories: the
loop control that inputs analog measured values (including feedback control and
feed forward control) and the sequential control that inputs operating sequences
and process status signals.
♦ Feedback Control
Control that acts to correct the process variable (e.g. Temperature in a
tank) to agree with the target value (setpoint) by comparing both.
♦ Feed forward Control
Control which takes a corrective action by measuring the disturbances
(e.g. Ambient temperature) and directly driving the valve before it affects
the process.
♦ Sequential Control
Control that successively advances each control step in accordance with
the pre-determined sequence.

A. INTRODUCTION TO PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEM
A.3. PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS
To perform temperature control as discussed before, a control system ( a device
to perform the control computation) is required. There are many control systems
available, which are generally classified into analog, and digital control system.
Analog Control System
Control device that makes a control computation with analog signals (e.g.
Voltage) using operational amplifiers etc. I this case sequence control is not
available.
Digital Control System
Control device that makes control computation with digital values using a
processor (processing unit). Not only the feedback and feed forward controls
(called DDC-Direct digital controls collectively) but also sequential control is
available.

Generally referred to control in which the controller functions are implemented
with digital equipment. Inputs and outputs of the controller may be analog
signals. Also refers to a supervisory control scheme when a higher-level
computer drives the output of a digital controller directly.
A.4. DEVELOPMENT HISTROY OF CONTROL SYSTEM
Electronic computers were first introduced into the process control filed in 1960’s.
Digital control technology developed widely in the following years.
The purpose of introducing computers was mainly (1) data logging and (2) set
point control (SPC) at first.

As the introduction of computers into process control advanced, controller
functions were superseded by computers, and DDC in which computers directly
controlled processes began to be employed.
In the early stages, the control system was centralized where a central computer
executed not only monitoring and operation but also all process controls. The
most important reason was cost effectiveness.
The advent of microprocessors greatly changed the above situation. The study
theme moved to how diversification could be implemented (risk distribution,
function distribution, etc) and how exclusiveness and versatility could be united.
The distributed control system (DCS) now has inputs points distributed for 1 loop,
8 loops, 16 loops and upto 80 loops to be able to apply approximately when seen
from processes.

B. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
B. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
This chapter describes various system components of CS3000 system.
B.1. DCS MINIMUM SYSTEM COMPONENTS
For the Distributed Control system to function two major components are
necessary.
a. The Engineering / Operator Station – From which the operator controls the
plant and the same component can also be used to do configuration
changes. The operator station or the Man Machine Interface (MMI) and is
called the Human Interface Station (HIS) in CS3000 R3 system while the
component used for configuration is called the Engineering station (ENG).
Both these components can reside in one hardware.
b. The Field Control Station – which is the interface between the Field
instruments and the control room. This is the component where all the
control functions are executed and hence is a very important and critical
component in the overall system.
c. The above two components are connected via a real time control network
which communicates all the parameters to and from the Field Control
Station to the Human Interface station. This network is called the V-Net /
VL-Net in CS3000 R3 system.
The above three are the minimum required components for the Distributed
Control System to function. The number of the HIS and the FCS for a particular
plant is broadly decided on the following basis.
The number of Field Control Station to control a process plant is decided based
on the Input/Output count, Input/Output segregation based on the different
sections of the plant, Field Control station CPU load and the Field Control Station
hardware capabilities.
The number of Human Interface Stations is decided based on the number of
operators required to control the process plant considering number of screens
required during startup and shutdown situation. The operation grouping / security
to control the various sections of the plant is also a criteria in deciding the
number of Human Interface Stations.

B. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
♦ Safety Control Station (SCS)
Safety Control Station is the component that performs the processing and
logical computation of Emergency Shutdown inputs and outputs.
Yokogawa’s Emergency shutdown system is called ProSafe System.
♦ ProSafe COM
ProSafe COM is a component of the ProSafe System, which connects the
CS3000 R3 System to the ProSafe System.
♦ Communication Gateway Unit (CGW)
The Communication Gateway Unit is a gateway that connects the
supervisory computer with the VL net or V net, which are the control
communication networks for the CS 3000 system.
♦ Bus Converter (BCV)
The V net bus converter connects a V net on the CS 3000 system and a
CS 3000 on another domain to enable system integration. A domain refers
to stations that are connected to a single V net network.
A CS 3000 system V net and HF Bus (in case of Centum-V and CentumXL Systems) or RL-Bus (in case of Micro-XL Systems) can be connected
using a bus converter.
♦ EXAOPC Server (EXAOPC)
Exaopc is an OPC (OLE for Process Control, OPC is a standard interface
developed by the OPC Foundation) server, which can be connected to a
variety of DCS (Distributed Control Systems) and provides an OPC client
with process data via OPC interface. With the package, the OPC client
can acquire and define process data from DCSes and receive alarm
events.
♦ Plant Resource Manager (PRM)
Field networks have been developed in recent years, and field devices
have become more intelligent. These intelligent field devices communicate
digitally to the Field Control Station. Plant Resource Manager handles
field device management and maintenance work. Plant Resource
Manager maintains a historical record of device parameters and
maintenance records. Implements centralized management of device
management information such as the device list, inspection record,
schedule, and parts lists.
♦ EXAQUANTUM Server
A Distributed Control System typically produces large amounts of data that
must be converted into information to facilitate management decisions and
optimize the operation of the plant. Exaquantum is a Plant Information
Management System (PIMS), which processes these data from the

B. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
B.4.1 FCS HARDWARE
The following is the brief description of hardware components of all types of FCS.
Some of the hardware components are specific to that type of FCS.
♦ Field Control Unit (FCU)
The field Control station (FCS) basically consists of two parts – The Field
Control Unit (FCU) and the Node. The FCU consists of the Station control
cards.
♦ Control Bus Coupler Unit
The Coupler is where the V-Net or the VL-Net is installed into the FCS
Station. It has provision for two-bus connection. The coupler unit couples
the processor card installed in the Field Control Unit (FCU) to the V-Net or
the VL-Net Cable by performing signal isolation and the signal level
conversion.
♦ Power Supply Unit (PSU)
For Compact type of FCS (PFCD), this unit receives power directly from
the main source while for the KFCS and LFCS, this unit receives power
from the distribution board. This unit converts the main AC voltage into an
isolated DC voltage for distribution to cards and units mounted in the Filed
Control Unit (FCU)
♦ Back Up Batteries
These are rechargeable battery units installed in the PSU, backs up the
memory in the processor card during the main power failure. It can hold
the memory for about 72 hours. If the power failure is more than this
specified time, the FCS has to be loaded off-line, for it to function
normally.
♦ Remote Input/Output (RIO) Interface Card and RIO Bus.
The RIO Interface card is used in the LFCS. The interface card performs
communication via the RIO coupler unit between multiple nodes
connected on the RIO bus.
♦ Process Input Output Units(PIO) or Input/Output Units (IOU)
These are Modules that perform the conversion processing and
transmission of filed process signals to the CPU card.
♦ Node Interface Unit (NIU)
This component send the analog and the contact i/o signals from the field
to the Field control Unit (FCU) for processing and it offers the function to
supply power to the Input/Output Units (IOU)

B. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
♦ Node
Node consists of Node Interface Unit (NIU) and Input/Output Units (IOU)
incase of LFCS (for RIO) while the Node consists of Input/Output Units in
case of KFCS (For FIO).
♦ ESB Bus Coupler Unit
The ESB bus coupler unit couples the ESB bus interface card installed in
the FCU to the ESB bus by modulating and demodulating the signals. This
is applicable for Field Control station with FIO (KFCS)
♦ Processor Card
The Processor Card performs calculations and control computation. In
case of redundant CPU models of the LFCS and KFCS, there are two
processor cards. One of the cards is in control status and the other is in
the standby status.
Each of these two processor unit have two processors or the CPU, which
perform the same control computation. A collator compares the
computation results during each computation cycle. If the computation
results from the two CPUs match, the collator determines that the
computation is normal and sends data to locations such as the main
memory and bus interface unit. Because the main memory as an ECC,
transient bit inversion errors occurring in the main memory can be
rectified.
Figure: Pair and Spare function of the CPU Card for LFCS.

B-13
CS3KR3-OPE 1
ST
Edition Jan 2002
B. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
If the computation results from CPU1 and CPU2 do not match, the collator
judges that a computation error has occurred, and the control will be
transferred to the standby side. The standby processor unit performs the
same computation as the control side, even though it is in the standby
state. Therefore, it can immediately resume the output of control
computation data to the bus interface when it takes over the control
Therefore, CPUs within the same unit collate each other’s computation
data, being sure to detect any computation errors. Because the unit on
standby performs the same control computation concurrently with the
control side (even though it is in standby status), it takes over the control
computation at any point of time without interruption (bumplessly). This is
called the pair and spare function of the CPU card.

E. OPERTAION AND MONITORING WINDOWS
Operation and monitoring windows provided by the HIS are of two types System windows and user-defined windows. The operation and monitoring
windows include built-in system windows and user-defined windows whose
applications and display contents can be defined as desired at system
generation.
E.1. TYPES OF OPERATION AND MONITORING WINDOWS
♦ System Windows
The operation and monitoring windows built into the system are called
“system windows.” The system windows are for example System Message
window, Faceplate window, Tuning window etc.
♦ User-Defined Windows
The operation and monitoring windows whose display content can be
defined as desired by the user at system generation are called “userdefined window.” As user-defined windows can be defined in accordance
with the target of operation and monitoring, they can play a central role
during the operation and monitoring performed by the operator. Graphic
windows and Trend windows with such attributes can be created as “userdefined” windows.
The various types of windows broadly divided into two types as stated
above will be discussed during the course.

When an error such as process input signal error is detected in the secondary
controller of a cascade loop, the secondary block can be changed to primary
direct (PRD) mode, to allow the primary controller block temporarily take over
control. To remove the loop from the Primary Direct (PRD) mode, switch the
secondary controller to Manual (MAN) mode.
Initialization Manual (IMAN)
Changes the block mode to IMAN to temporarily suspend the control action. This
action takes place when the initialization manual condition becomes satisfied. In
case of a cascade loop, the primary controller changes to IMAN, when the
secondary controller is removed from cascade mode (CAS).

displayed in each Trend Point window. There are 6,400 Trend Point windows per
HIS.
I.5. TREND DATA ACQUSITION
Trend data acquisition function periodically gathers process data from the FCS in
accordance with the definition of the Trend record, sampling period and recording
span. This acquired data is displayed in Trend window and Trend point window.
I.5.1 TARGET TREND DATA
All data items, such as PV (CPV), SV, MV and FV, are regarded as target
process data of trend acquisition.
I.5.2 TREND DATA ACQUISITION TYPES
The acquisition types of process data are defined for each trend block. The data
acquisition include the following 4 types:
♦ Continuous-Rotary Type
By this mode, process data are acquired constantly. Data acquisition
starts automatically after starting the HIS. Data acquisition stops when the
HIS stops. Acquired data will not be erased after the HIS stop. When the
storage capacity becomes full, the oldest data are deleted and replaced by
new data.

I.6. SAMPLING PERIOD AND RECORDING SPAN
The sampling period of process data are specified for each trend block. The
sampling period can be selected from 1 second, 10 seconds, 1 minute, 2
minutes, 5 minutes or 10 minutes. No more than 18 blocks can be specified with
the sampling periods of 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes. No more
than 2 trend blocks can be specified with the sampling period of 1 second or 10
seconds. The recording span indicates the time to acquire 2,880 samples for
each trend graph (maximum number of samples) in the specified sampling
period.
The table below shows the relationship between trend sampling periods and
recording span:
Table: Trend sampling period and recording span.
For example, if the trend sampling period is 1 minute,
1 (minute) 2,880 samples = 2,880 minutes = 48 hours = 2 days

J. ALARM PROCESSING
J. ALARM PROCESSING
The Alarm Processing is a message processing function performed by the HIS
when alarm occurs during plant operation. The operator can use the issued
alarm to determine what action to take for abnormality and then process the
alarm. Alarm priority, which varies with the process and operation, may be
distinguished through its operation and color. The operator can perform an
acknowledgment action for the alarm output.
J.1. TYPES OF ALARMS
The types of alarms that are subject to the alarm processing performed by the
HIS is as follows:
♦ System Alarm
The system alarm notifies operator of the abnormalities in the hardware
and communication errors. The type and contents of the system alarm are
predetermined. When a system alarm occurs, the control station outputs a
corresponding message. The messages that are output in accordance
with the corresponding system alarms are called system alarm messages.
♦ Process Alarm
The process alarm notifies operator of the occurrence and recovery of
abnormality in the process. The type and contents of the process alarm
are predetermined. A process alarm message is the general term for
messages that are output corresponding to the process alarm. The
annunciator message is included in the process alarm category. User can
define the trigger signal and contents of the annunciator message.
J.2. ALARM PROCESSING FLOW
The figure below shows the processing flow for the process alarm. The alarms
that occurred in the plant are transmitted to the HIS as an alarm message. Upon
reception of this message, the HIS outputs the alarm.
