DCS ARCHITECTURE AND

TDC 3000

Presented by:
Ziauddin/M. Sohail/Haroon Yousaf
INTRODUCTION

DCS is the real time component of control


system.
Introduced in mid 1970s, it has became an
essential component of Process plant control
system.
Control system reliability, flexibility and speed
are basic functions, offered by DCS.
FUNCTIONS
DISTRIBUTION
DCS distributes control tasks into relatively
small sets of independent sub systems.
Distributed tasks includes:
 Data collection.
 Process Control.
 Presentation of information
 Process analysis
 Storage / retrieval of information.
FUNCTIONS
DISTRIBUTION

Advantages of Distribution:
 Lower exposure to component or
subsystem failure.
 Better isolation to facilitate maintenance &
upgrade.
 Flexibility for application development.
FUNCTIONS
CONTROL

This is to automate the process by integrating


advanced regularity, logic & sequential control.
Capable to handle multiple control loops and
flexibility to change control strategies as per
process demand.
100 percent reliability on failure of any control
component.
FUNCTIONS
CONTROL

In addition to control, supports


following:
 Information exchange with business,
logistics and transportation applications.
 Preventive or Predictive maintenance
scheduling.
 Analysis for better control or trouble
shooting.
FUNCTIONS
SYSTEM
“System” organizes the command structure &
information flow among its constituents part.
This act as a single automation system
unifying the various subsystem.
The subsystem includes:
 Process signal input & conditioning.
 Process actuator signal output.
 Human readable process displays.
FUNCTIONS
SYSTEM
 Human actions i.e. set point changes,
manual overrides and alarm handling.
 Communications subsystems.
HIERARCHY OF DCS

Digital control along with networking allows


process information to be passed from level
to level within a corporation.
This information flow represents the flow of
measured variable from a flow transmitter to
anywhere in the world.
Such hierarchical representation of the
information leads to a better understanding.
Broadly, DCS hierarchy consists of 05 levels.
HIERARCHY OF DCS
Level “0” – Field Instruments
This level handles control and process
information to & from the process field.
Measurement devices provide the information
on the current conditions of process.
The actuators / control valves permit control
decisions to be imposed on the process.
Generally, analog / smart transmitters &
control valves dominate this layer / level.
HIERARCHY OF DCS
Level “1” – Process Control
This level operates the process at or
near the targets supplied by others.
High degree of automation control is
provided to achieve operation
consistency.
Reduction in variance in key process
variables and uniform product quality
are obvious benefits.
HIERARCHY OF DCS
Level “2” – Supervisory Control
Set points / Outputs and other
controllable process variable can be
changed to meet set targets.
Plant optimization & emergency
handling are the main features at this
level.
HIERARCHY OF DCS
Level “3” – Engineering / Production Control
Configuration of new process values / alarms
or change in control strategy is done at this
level.
New graphics displays configuration or
amendments for better human interface.
Tuning of Control loops.
Long and short term Production planning of
continuous and batch processes.
HIERARCHY OF DCS
Level “4” – Corporate information System
The upper most level of control system
in a corporation.
Long term and strategic functions are
performed from this level.
Inventory control on feedstock and
subsequent contracts.
Production forecast and requirement of
raw materials.
TDC 3000 – An Introduction
TDC (Total Distribution Control) 3000 is the
propriety product from Honey well, USA.
TDC-3000 uses High level control language (CL)
