Process Monitoring

General

EBSILON^®Professional is not only suitable as a planning tool, but also as an integral part of a process monitoring system. The requirements for this are as follows:

• Data Transfer: Permanent takeover of process data from the customer and output of the results.

• Process graphics: Display of the plant state in one or more screens with different degrees of detail; colour display of the value fields depending upon the value (alarms)

• Characteristic values: Display and output of characteristic values for individual components, for groups of components (e.g. quality factor of a turbine flood) or of the entire cycle (see chapter 4)

• Process identification: Permanent improvement of the reference values for calculating the characteristic values

• Trend curves: Display of the trends of the process values (input values and calculated values), even over many years (and model change)

 

These requirements are fulfilled in the following way:

• Data transfer

Selection of the data source: ASCII file, Excel file or User-Input-DLL

Selection of the result output: ASCII file, Excel file or User-Output-DLL

Determining the calculation cycle

 

For online linking, a special data coupling mode "EposInterface" is available, which also enables a direct data transfer with the control technology or with external databases.

• Process graphics

Definition of alarm limits for the individual process values

Creation of detailed schemes

Switching between the individual detailed schemes

• Characteristic values

Definition of characteristic values (position and formatting in the scheme, selection of the characteristic value types and the reference values)

• Process identification

Activation and deactivation

Access to the available reference value file

• Trend curves

Selection of the process value (measurement or characteristic value)

Selection of the time period
