Industrial Automation Knowledge Base

All control projects require some level of time synchronization. The time synchronization serves a fundamental role in any network, but it's too often added as an afterthought. However, it can mean the difference between correctly troubleshooting in minutes and returning the production to the desired level or having no idea about what caused production lost. The Network Time Protocol is a client-server protocol and has been widely adopted in all kind of Industries since 1985. It is a low-cost solution that can be easily applied for all EcoStruxure Process Expert architectures.

How to Enable Native Citect Scada OPC DA Server on EcoStruxure Process Expert? In EcoStruxure Process Expert 2019 (former HDCS) and previous versions the communication between the supervision participant Citect Scada and Modicon PAC controllers are handle by OFS – OPC Factory Server. The OFS is an OPC DA Server which is installed in the same server as the EPE operation server(s). Whenever a third-party software needs to collect data from EPE it can be done by connecting to OFS Server in either primary or standby operation server. This solution using OFS Server as an unique OPC DA Server to interface with other system works fine but some customers standard or customers best practice doesn’t allow other systems to collect data direct from the controllers. These customers prefer third-party software collecting data from the supervision servers. Another motivating force to have an OPC DA server enabled on supervision participant is that some projects could have calculate variables on supervision which does not exist on control project...

Document objective This document (attached) is created as a guide for EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS users to be familiar with the platform and standard library. By creating the sample application and following this guidance, the user can understand the benefits/ additional values of EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS in the entire project life cycle (Engineering, Commissioning, Maintenance and Operation phases).

Warning Hazard of Electric Shock: Remove all power from all devices before removing any covers or doors of the system. Disconnect power at the device and at the power source. Electrostatic Discharge Required: Always discharge static electricity from your person by touching metal prior to handling any hardware. Failure to do so may result in damage to devices. Potential for Data Loss: The steps detailed in the resolution of this article may result in a loss of critical data if not performed properly. Before beginning these steps, make sure all important data is backed up in the event of data loss. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with any complex steps detailed in this article, please contact Product Support for assistance. Issue This KB Article describes the integration between the EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS control platform, WW Historian and Dream Report. Resolution See the attachment for more information.

Issue When a TeSysT is created from the Topology Manager in EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS, the DTM of the Generic Modbus Device is automatically added. This cannot be used to parametize the TeSysT inside EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS and other tools such as web interfaces or SoMove are required for this purpose Resolution The document attached describes the necessary steps to integrate the TeSysT Device DTM in EcoStruxure Hybrid DCS and connect it to the GPL TeSysT DFB. Hence, we will be able to parametize the TeSysT as if it were with SoMove.
