Basic Overview of Foxboro IA series DCS system: Stations are the key active component which will communicate

with each other to perform the assigned activities. Many stations associated to a particular process plant or train 1 is linked by Bus call Node bus, they configured in the system definition and dynamically connected. The system will monitor the availability for the stations and its peripherals or related components with periodic bus test. Two fault redundant node buses ! B are available for all nodes. "n an " series, a node consists of following group of stations related to particular plant re#uired for safe and reliable distributed control system.
1. Work Station Processor $%&' (M" for &rocess ! Maintenance team. ). Application Processor $ &' which is having the node hardware configuration ! application.

Module "dentification 7evice (etter B#'' is a essential device for every -o2boro module and Station since entire software configuration recogni8e the device by their assigned verification through this M , address technology. The above components are essential for a single plant or unit ,ontrol. "n a &rocess plant with many unit, more nodes in a plant are segregated and designed well for safe integrity and high system reliability. The Node data from one section to other section can inter linked by 6 N called ,arrier Band 6 N $,B6 N'. %ith a ,B6 N, all the Nodes in a comple2 all inter linked and configured for dynamic data e2change and control. ,B6 N speed is 3 MBS $Mega bits0sec'. ,B6 N communication always limited to 3 MBS.

node design is critical for the data follow and its station recognition. To protect their (ardware and Software, -o2boro first design the node and prepare a system definition by defining the associated the stations like %&, &, %, &%, ,M&, ,&, =% re#uired for the particular plant or section so that re#uired process condition and operator interface. -or higher reliability, critical stations like ,&, =% are configures as redundant or fault tolerant so the single bus or single module failure do not affect the system control or plant operation. ?nce the system definition is done, the committal software creates a &roprietary committal diskette and need to be installed in all station in order form the above node. ?nce the node is established, all the stations can e2change data and customi8ed other graphic and hardware configuration, dynamic values can be configured by the system >ngineers. committed station will have a System Manager 7isplay (andler $SM7(' which will display all the node or multi.node details. Station Manger A SM7( is vital for the -o2boro and customer software engineer for regular system monitoring, diagnostics, investigation and for enabling or disabling station for maintenance.

"f the distance between the local control rooms and Main control rooms are longer, -iber optic link are established between the ,B 6 N and -iber optic converter so that a standard 3 mbs ,B6 N can be successfully established irrespective for the node distances. :e"#n"ant $o"#le an" CB (A0 a"vanta'e: 1.
