the existing RTU
- The Master can query the existing RTU via the DS-32 RTU
- As each point is being transferred to the DS-32 RTU, the corresponding
database for the point comes from the DS-32 RTU, the transfer process can
be repeated for every point until all points are transferred to the DS-32
RTU
- The application can be applied to 2 non DS-32 RTU, that is the DS-32
RTU communicates with the existing and the new RTUs as the submaster to
both RTUs, the master can query the existing RTU via the DS-32 RTU, as
each point is being transferred to the new RTU, the corresponding database
for the point comes from the new RT

Event Driven Control Operator (EDCO) |
|
|
EDCO is a group of software components that reside in the PC and Dynatrol
DS-32 RTU. EDCO is specially designed for time critical process control
applications. It facilitates logic interlock, arithmetic calculations and
sequential controls.
Graphical User Friendly Interface

Graphical User Friendly Interface |
|
|
EDCO Graphical Interface resides in the PC. It provides the tools for
user to implement, edit and trouble shoot the control algorithm. It presents
the algorithm in a graphical diagram with control icons.
EDCO Graphical Interface provides pictorial view of the control algorithm.
With drag and drop control icons, complex control algorithm can be easily
implemented and modified. Signals and Controls relationships can be easily
visualized. With real time display, states and values of signals and
controls are displayed in real time. This feature enables the user to easily
trouble shoot the control algorithm.
Unlike ladder diagrams, which signals and controls cannot be readily
correlated. If signals are out of page bound, it is difficult to visualize
the relationship of the signals involved. EDCO Graphical Interface presents
the control icons with signal paths and control paths connected between
control icons, therefore user is able to visually correlate the signals and
controls involved.

Efficient Execution for Time Critical Process Control Applications |
|
|
Most of the control software, such as PLC ladder diagram style of
software, the CPU processes all the rungs of the ladder diagram at every
loop time. Even the inputs have not been changed; the CPU processes all the
rungs regardless. If the rungs are not arranged sequentially according to
the logic, that is the inputs of the rung come from the outputs of the rungs
following the present rung, the control outputs may take many loop times to
be affected. For feedback controls, the arrangement of rungs sequentially
according to the logic is not possible. For this type of controls, the
control outputs will take many loop times to be affected.
EDCO implements the processing very differently. When there is a change of
input, EDCO will process all the operators that are affected by this change
of input. That is EDCO only wakes up when there is a change to one of the
inputs and only the operators that are affected by this change of input will
be processed. With this feature, EDCO is very efficient and able to perform
time critical process controls.

Intelligent Feedback Oscillation Detection |
|
|
In process control applications, feedback control is very common. That is
the signals from the results of some operators are fed back to the inputs of
the operators. Feedback can cause digital logic to be flip-flopping; that is
oscillating between ON/OFF states. For analog signals, feedback can cause
output oscillation or saturation to certain values. Using electronic
components to implement the controls such as AND, OR gates and Amplifiers as
analog adder or multiplier, the undesirable results (oscillation/saturation)
usually localized to the affected portion of the control. However, in
microprocessor based controls, the undesirable results could render the
control inoperable because excessive use of CPU time. Undesirable
oscillation or saturation is of little use in practical control
applications. EDCO has built in algorithm to detect oscillation or
saturation. When oscillation or saturation is detected, EDCO logs the
warning messages indicating which operators have been processed many times
in the single change of input. With the warning messages, undesirable
oscillation or saturation can be easily identified and eliminated.
