Setting up of software in automated process

摘要

The setting up involves installing, at a chosen control terminal, a new version of the operation software with software modules for all levels of the process hierarchy. The new version is then tested for compatibility with the process station and input and output components. If the software is compatible, it is installed in the process stations in the breaks between two sequential control and/or regulation steps. Then the software for the input and output components is loaded to the process stations and loaded and installed into the components. The automation system has a personal computer that provides the configuring, user and monitoring functions. It is bus coupled (20) to individual process stations (40). Each station connects with analogue or digital input output modules (80) that either provide outputs to actuators (95) or accept inputs from sensors (90).
