A hierarchical architecture of centralized monitoring and controlling system and its high-performance and interoperability protocol

This paper describes a hierarchical architecture and a high-performance and interoperability protocol for centralized monitoring and controlling systems (CMCS) . The protocol we proposed can interoperate different monitoring and controlling systems constructed by different companies, each with different functions and communication protocols. The protocol reduces the amount of traffic and has real-time and high-perfor-mance advantages. The protocol was implemented in CMCS for telecommunication power supply and air-condi-tioner used by the Telecommunication Bureau of Zhejiang Province. This paper deals with the hierarchical architecture and function of CMCS and packet format, command ID, and SDL description of its protocol. We also discuss the properties of the interoperability and performance of the protocol in this paper.

Integration Between Enterprise Process Monitoring and Controlling System and Enterprise Application

The relationships and the features of integration between Enterprise ProcessMonitoring and Controlling System (EPMCS) and Enterprise Process Related Applications (EPRA) wereanalyzed. An integration architecture centered on EPMCS was presented, in which there were fourlayers to connect from EPMCS to EPRA: EPMCS, application integration layer, transport layer andEPRA, and there were four layers used to etstablish integration: presentation layer, function layer,data layer and system layer. The frameworks to connect EPMCS and EPRA were designed, thatEnterprise-Independent Model (EIM), Enterprise-Specific Model (ESM) and meta-model to describe thesetwo models were defined. The method to integrate data based on XML was designed to exchange datafrom EPMCS to EPRA according to the mapping between EIM and ESM. The approches are suitable forintegrating EPMCS and systems in Product Data Management (PDM), project management and enterprisebusiness management.

Experimental Study of Monitoring and Controlling of Composite Cure Process in Autoclave Featured with Fiber Optic Sensor

With the aid of the latest fiber optic sensing technology parameters in the cure process of ther- mosetting resin-matrix composite, such as temperature, viscosity,void and residual stress, can be monitored entirely and efficiently.In this paper, experiment results of viscosity measurement in composite cure process in autoclave using fiber optic sensors are presented. Based on the sensed information, a computer program is utilized to control the cure process. With this technology, the cure process becomes more apparent and controllable, which will greatly improve the cured products and reduce the cost.

CONTROLLING AND MONITORING THERMOTE NICAL PARAMETERS OF GLASS MELTING FURNACE

According to the characteristics of the ther-motechnical parameters such as temperature pressure and glass level for glass melting furnace, the design method for monitoring and controlling these parameters is introduced in this paper based on MACROMAX-2 concentrated and dis-tributedcontrol system. The configuration of management information and control loop is described, and research tests were performed to check the functions of system.

Prospect of energy management system for large steel enterprise

The energy management system(EMS),which acts as the heart of the energy management center of a steel enterprise,is a large computer system focused on the concentrative monitor and control of the production and utilization of energy.Although Chinese steel industry was well developed in the latest decade, so far the levels of the comprehensive energy consumption per ton steel among Chinese steel enterprises are remarkably distinct,and the average value of the comprehensive energy consumption per ton steel of them has still been much higher than the value of those in developed countries.This bad situation,in the opinion of the author,partially results from the poor ability for most Chinese steel enterprises to manage the production and utilization of energy.National policies associated to energy-saving and ejection-decreasing call for steel enterprises to build the EMS;and more and more steel enterprises themselves also desire to achieve EMS projects so that they can optimize their energy production and utilization.Baosteel,the largest and most advanced steel enterprise in China,has got plenty of experience in the EMS due to its incessant practice for more than 30 years in the design,construction,application,and revampment of its EMS.In the present article,the features of an advanced EMS is described and discussed based on the design practice of the EMS of Baosteel Zhanjiang Project.An advanced EMS should be an optimized and integrated system,which possesses of the characteristic of high managing efficiency,enough openness in expansion,friendly interfaces, and simple structure.Furthermore,it could support many-sided applications,e.g.,energy related data mineing,energy network combination and co-supply,application of geographic information technology,and other technical researched on energy-saving aspects.It is known that some energy-related indexes of Baosteel have stood on a high level better than those of some worldwide famous steel enterprises.Moreover,it goes without saying that the indexes of Baosteel Zhanjiang will be better than those of present Baosteel.Therefore, one can easily expect that the new EMS of Baosteel Zhanjiang will be much more advanced,which will be more helpful to fulfil systematiclly saving of energy,to elevate the efficiency of energy utilization,to lower the comprehensive energy consumption per ton steel.
