Computer / Highway Interface Package Ċ The Computer/Highway
Interface Package (CHIP) provides plant computers with access to the
entire PROVOX process database. This allows users to do special
calculations for optimization, reporting, process analysis, and other plant
management tasks.
Application Software Ċ Application software consists of packages such
as Data Historian, Console Trend Display, and Batch Data Manager.
These software packages perform a variety of data
acquisition/management/display functions. Application software
packages interface with PROVOX devices through the CHIP.
Data Concentrator Unit / Regulatory Controller Ċ The Data
Concentrator Unit (DCU) is a device which serves as a buffer between
the PROVOX Data Highway and Configurable, Computing, and
Interactive Controllers. These controllers are designed for continuous
control applications.
2.2 The Computing Controller Unit
The Computing Controller is a user-configured, digital controller for
continuous processes. It combines advanced computing power with
linear and nonlinear control for single loop and cascade control
applications. The controller can perform control tasks such as blending,
temperature and flow linearization, pH control, and mass flow
calculations. Operator interface is achieved through a system console or
through a panel-mounted operator station.
The Type CL7011 Computing Controller Assembly consists of a printed
circuit card that occupies one slot in a rack-mounted controller card file.
The computing controller assembly employs a microprocessor for
performing signal processing and communications. All calculations use
floating-point arithmetic to reduce scaling requirements. Predefined
control algorithms and functions are contained in the controller for
simplified configuration. Because all configuration data are retained in
nonvolatile memory, re-configuration of the controller after a power
failure is normally not required. All process input and output (I/O), Data
Concentrator, and power connections between the controller and the
card file are made through the back edge of the controller card. Operator
station communications and power are provided through a connector on
the front edge of the controller card. The Type CL6211 Computing
Controller Assembly consists of a Type CL7011 Computing Controller
Assembly and a Type CD6201 Controller Operator Station Unit. The
Type CL7012 Computing Controller Assembly is a redundant version of
the Type CL7011 Computing Controller Assembly.
