ECS Caratteristiche

Automatizzazione di impianti per il trattamento termico con ECS

Il sistema di controllo del processo ECS (SCADA) è stato concepito per la visualizzazione ed il controllo di processi industriali di trattamento termico. Tutte le funzioni necessarie per il controllo, l’osservazione e la redazione di un protocollo dei processi, vengono soddisfatte.

Oltre alla visualizzazione dell’impianto l’ECS offre ampie elaborazioni dei dati e possibilità di redazione del protocollo. Possono essere gestiti fino a 16 impianti nel sistema con i moduli integrati per la configurazione, per la realizzazione e l‘amministrazione del programma, per il controllo online con funzione di visualizzazione e di registrazione, per l‘elaborazione e la gestione dei dati carichi e per il disegno di immagini del funzionamento per la visualizzazione del processo.

Diverse componenti di programma elaborano i parametri differenti o mettono a disposizione funzioni ampliate. Per un controllo semplice e sicuro dei processi e per il rispetto delle esigenze riguardanti la tecnologia dei procedimenti industriali (impostazione del numero distintivo nitrurazione, diffusione online, simulazione cementazione) per moderni procedimenti del trattamento termico l’ECS mette a disposizione delle funzionalità. TELEPHONY permette la comunicazione di un allarme mediante e-mail.

ECS-SQL Export

Interface between ECS and SQL

The software module exports values, alarms and batch header data from the ECS software to a Microsoft SQL Server. Beginning from version 5.0.8.
The export runs automatically in the background and gets start and end form ECS StatusControl tool.

Requirements

The monitoring of day files must be activated inside ECS system configuration.
Microsoft SQL-Express-Server or SQL-Server.

 

Interface between ECS and AMS

Interface between process control system ECS and the administration management system of TTC Informatik with the following functions:

- Automatic recipe replication
  New recipe names in ECS are automatically transferred to AMS

- Automatic recipe download
  In AMS a batch is prepared and transferred together with the recipe name and plant number to ECS. The recipe is loaded from ECS automatically to the chosen controller. The start must be carried out on the SE-controller.

- Transfer batch data
  The AMS batch number and the order information (order no, client etc.) are transferred from AMS to ECS. ECS stores the AMS batch numbers in one of the 20 data fields (configurable) of the evaluation and the AMS order information in the comment field.

- Batch evaluation access out of AMS
  Out of AMS, the ECS evaluation (ECS-2K-AW) can be selected with the appropriate batch file via the AMS batch number and can be analysed. For each PC, where this function should be possible, an additional licence of ECS-AW-1 is required.

- Sending of status information to AMS
  ECS-AMS transmits also the status information "batch is running" / "batch is not running" to AMS

The implementation must always be carried out by an employee of STANGE Elektronik. In case of a good and steady online connection, the implementation can be executed via remote access.


Batch graph as PDF/PNG file for ECS-AMS

Option for ECS-AMS.

At batch end a PDF or PNG file (configurable) is automatically created and transferred with the AMS batch number as file name to the AMS program (Fa. TTC).
The license is required for each ECS-PC.

Diagrams, alarms, batch header data etc. are selectively contained in the ECS batch documentation. The content of the ECS batch documentation as well as the configuration of the used graphic templates is configured during start-up according to customer's specifications.


Process Control System ECS and SIMATIC S7

The control system software ECS communicates with SIMATIC S7-300 and/or SIMATIC S7-400 controllers via OPC (OLE for Process Control).
SIEMENS, SOFTING and INAT (restricted)  OPC servers are supported.

Data exchange takes place over a software interface, contained in the scope of supply, which must be integrated into the user project. This interface makes a standardized OPC namespace available over a symbolism.
Communication with the S7 is made by this symbolism. An addressing over the absolute addresses of variables and I/Os is not necessary.

By this procedure a simple connection of SIMATIC S7 controllers to the control system ECS is ensured.

The S7 interface is available in two versions:

Full Version:
All features of the ECS visualization can be used. Both display and recording of process values, and the binding to a program controller and up-/download of recipes is implemented in the full version.

Lite Version:
For the visualization and recording of process values. Not all standard pages and functions of ECS are available.

Depending upon kind of the connection (Ethernet or MPI), appropriate interfaces must be present in SIMATIC S7 control and in the PC.



The definition of devices that can be connected to the process control system ECS takes place over the ECS Unit Control. Apart from our own program controllers and automation systems (SE-4xx, SE-5xx, SE-6xx, SE-7xx), there are already pre-defined S7 controllers. For SIEMENS, Softing and INAT S7-OPC-server is available in each case a control in the full and lite version. The use of these pre-defined S7 controllers simplifies the connection to the control system ECS, because configuration errors are impossible. A manual change and also the creation of your own configuration is likewise possible respectively.
