Problems solved by technology

[0003] The hardware configuration work is usually completed manually with the help of software such as Excel sheets, but due to the many factors to be considered, repeated adjustments are required, which will consume a lot of time and resources
At the same time, due to the lack of a dedicated interface between the Excel sheet and typical DCS software tools (such as Siemens' PCS_7, etc.), DCS engineers also need to re-complete in the DCS software system based on the hardware system already designed in the Excel sheet. A hardware configuration work, which will cause a waste of time and resources, and there is a risk of human error

Embodiment Construction

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following examples are given to further describe the present invention in detail.

[0026] Aiming at the technical problems in the prior art, the present invention utilizes the VBA interface of the Excel software to develop the DCS hardware configuration system based on the Excel sheet. In this system, DCS engineers can realize functions such as automatically arranging various hardware devices and automatically assigning input / output point addresses to card channels according to DCS project user data and self-defined rules, so as to complete the DCS system in the Excel form hardware configuration. The results are presented to users in the form of intuitive graphics and tables, which support further manual adjustments, and all hardware configuration information can be directly saved as hardware configuration files that can be recognized by the DCS software system, so tha...

Abstract

The invention discloses a system and a method for DCS (distributed control system) hardware configuration based on Excel. The system for DCS hardware configuration comprises a configuration module, a configuration drawing module, a system communication module and an address allocation module. According to the technical scheme, DCS hardware configuration can be conveniently implemented in the Excel software environment, and results can be directly converted into hardware configuration results in the DCS software system, so that DCS hardware configuration operations are greatly simplified, time and resources are saved, and risks caused by human errors can be avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of DCS control systems, in particular to an Excel sheet-based DCS hardware configuration system and method. Background technique [0002] Distributed Control System (Distributed Control System, DCS) is a comprehensive control system that emerged with the continuous rise of modern large-scale industrial production automation and the increasingly complex requirements of process control. At the initial stage of a DCS project, DCS engineers usually need to complete the hardware design of the process control station according to user requirements and design information, including a series of tasks such as cabinet / card arrangement, input / output point address assignment to card channels, etc. We usually This process is called "hardware configuration". [0003] The hardware configuration work is usually completed manually with the help of software such as Excel spreadsheets. However, due to many factors to be considered, rep...
