Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of industrial control technology, specifically relating to a monitoring screen control system and its control method, and a distributed control system. Background Technology

[0002] For the operation and control center system of DCS (Distributed Control System), operators need to switch and retrieve the monitoring screen of DCS system operation status and data displayed in the control room to facilitate viewing by operators and system operation and maintenance personnel. Thermal power, nuclear power, coal, petroleum, chemical and rail transit fields all need to retrieve and switch the monitoring screen of DCS system operation status and data. There are two traditional control methods. One is to use the remote connection function of the operator's workstation to control the monitoring screen workstation, thereby changing the human-machine interface output of the monitoring screen workstation to switch the human-machine interface on the monitoring screen. This is especially true for current workstation systems, which are mostly based on Windows systems. Generally, the remote connection function of Windows system is used to achieve the above purpose. However, for the sake of information security of DCS system, network devices in DCS system have gradually canceled or disabled remote connection or remote control functions. At the same time, remote connection or remote control functions will also consume system network bandwidth, thereby affecting the real-time data transmission of the entire DCS system. Moreover, under network failure conditions, the operator will directly lose the ability to switch the human-machine interface on the monitoring screen. The other method is for maintenance personnel to bring a keyboard, mouse and monitor into the computer room and connect to the monitoring screen workstation locally to switch or extract the human-machine interface. However, this method is cumbersome and requires interruption of the human-machine interface output of the monitoring screen during the execution.
