Facility Automation Beijing, China

Project Introduction: The Beijing Yanshan Petrochemical Company is one of the most famous petrochemical entrepreneurs in China. Its production process control includes both continuous and discrete control. Their current production site employs many brands of DCS, PLC and FCS systems. As the system expands and becomes more complicated, it has become very important for them to be able to collect and share information from all layers, from process control, workshop production management and plant operation to control and management. In order to solve this issue they adopted Advantech's WebAccess control software.

System Requirements:
The production plant process control system includes 4 different brands of automotive control systems. In order to integrate these various systems, they required configuration software to help realize the following functions:

• Data recording with real-time and historical trends; the ability to capture and monitor real-time production data and store it as historical data with support for local and remote data monitoring.
• Multiple alarm parameters
• Vector-based flow charts with unlimited zoom and the ability to import AutoCAD images into the system.
• Automatically generated Excel sheets and ODBC database HTML sheets

Project Implementation:

	Advantech WebAccess
	IPC-610 industrial computer
	EKI series industrial switch

System Description:
The Beijing Yanshan Petrochemical Company uses four different 4 brands of sub control systema: Yokogawa CS 3000, Fisher-Rosemount Delta V, Honeywell TPS and Simens S7 300. Advantech WebAccess features the ability to transmit data to the Yokogawa CS 3000 and Fisher-Rosemount Delta systems through Ethernet and OPC communication with Honeywell TPS's APP node and Simens S7 300.

Conclusion:
In this system, we can see, the application of OPC technology and Advantech WebAccess software ultimately realize the seamless integration and communication of monitoring application software and on-spot/process control devices. The entire real-time monitoring software applies B/S structure and Web application method, which is an effective way to build Internet/Intranet based open, highly reliable and easily maintained real-time monitoring system. This case fully expresses the strong system integration function of Advantech WebAccess.
