A CONTROL SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING PROCESS EQUIPMENT

摘要

In a plant for controlling an equipment ( 4 ) adapted to carry out a process a superior arrangement ( 1 ) exists and has a first interface ( 2 ) to a programming unit ( 3 ) and a second interface ( 5 ) between the process equipment ( 4 ) and the arrangement. The arrangement has members ( 6 ) for transmitting information between the two interfaces. A memory member ( 9 ) adapted to store important data required for describing and defining the process of the process equipment is arranged in the process equipment itself. The arrangement ( 1 ) is provided with a rule data base ( 8 ) and a text data base ( 7 ) containing a configuration file for communication between the process equipment and the arrangement through the second interface by utilising a general process application protocol and a text file, respectively, adapted to the format of said data in the memory member of the process equipment.
