EtherNet/IP specification of new process equipment configuration file to strengthen process variables and the standardization of diagnosis

Hanover, Germany, on April雷竞技官网ios 17, 2023, ODVA recently announced that the process equipment is equipped with file has been added to the EtherNet/IP ™ specifications, for the automation of practitioners and a key tool for optimizing plant operations.Process equipment configuration file as a series of process variables and diagnostic equipment provides a standard format, which makes interoperability between suppliers more smoothly, and can more easily from the support EtherNet/IP field device integration of DCS and PLC data.Device configuration file that can be used for Coriolis flow (Coriolis flow), electromagnetic flow, eddy current, standard pressure and proportional pressure equipment.Process end users can use the EtherNet/IP devices from better pass key diagnostic information (e.g., NAMUR NE 107 state signal), and to improve automation equipment and process information model (PA - DIM) consistency.

EtherNet/IP process equipment configuration file is by the process of measuring value objects (such as the current pressure, liquid level, flow variables), process, the accumulative value objects (tracking the cumulative data, such as traffic) and process equipment diagnosis object (make it easier for factory operations and maintenance personnel for additional equipment and process state information).Process equipment configuration file will help sensor and the actuator position signal can be converted into effective information, to improve product quality and operating efficiency.In addition, process equipment configuration file can also help the user to assess the reliability of the measurement signal, and through the early identification of equipment failure to prevent plant downtime.Process, for example, the accumulative value can be overall tracking equipment usage, and then through the process of measurement and diagnosis object inference equipment running status.This enables a shift from regular maintenance to based on state of maintenance, which could avoid unnecessarily during outage replacement equipment in the factory, and identify the fault equipment in advance, so as to reduce unnecessary maintenance costs and potential downtime.

EtherNet/IP process equipment configuration file design and modify the data type, the extra parameter in order to better keep consistent with PA - DIM.PA - is DIM FieldComm Group, ISA100 WCI,雷竞技官网ios NAMUR, ODVA, OPC Foundation, PI, VDMA and joint between ZVEI standards, designed to process equipment in a standardized way to present information for easier access.In addition to the measured values and the quality of these numerical or publicly state, EtherNet/IP process equipment configuration file can also be simulated measuring values.This makes the key security functions (such as part of the valve stroke test, etc.) without interference to process data.Process equipment configuration file provides real-time process variables, according to the total amount and diagnosis standard format will also increase the end user interoperability between each supplier, because no matter which supplier of EtherNet/IP device, its information is the same.

Process equipment configuration file to join enhances the EtherNet/IP process automation capabilities, including the use of EtherNet - APL the physical ability.Ethernet - APL unlocked based on commercial industrial control hardware, object-oriented and the advantage of standard Internet protocol compatibility, the basis of standard Internet protocols including process factory in TCP/IP, HTTP, FTP, SNMP, and DHCP.Ethernet - APL to Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 CG - 2019, 10 base - T1L), power engineering, essential safety (IEC 60079, 2 - WISE) and type A fieldbus cable (IEC 61158-2, used in essence security) combination, can achieve 1000 meters distance and the speed of 10 mbit/s.EtherNet/IP can be diagnosed by NE 107, HART integration and IO - Link integration support process automation.In 雷竞技官网iosaddition, ODVA are turning to the next generation digital device description file, including the FDT, FDI and xDS extend EtherNet/IP ecosystem to simplify the integration of asset management tools and process.Fin雷竞技官网iosally, ODVA has just released the availability of concurrent connections, as the most critical failure process and application of security controller redundancy mechanism.

雷竞技官网iosDr ODVA President and executive director of the Al Beydoun said: "to the introduction of the process equipment configuration file that could satisfy the requirement of process industry a full range of EtherNet/IP is another key step.EtherNet/IP process equipment configuration file will help end users to achieve a higher yield, the shortest downtime and lower cost.In addition, the PA - DIM better integration helps to process automation professionals in the control room and the cloud to obtain the most valuable diagnostic and process variables, in order to enhance the insight and take timely intervention measures to optimize the operation."

EtherNet/IP process equipment configuration can enhance the interoperability of the supplier, it is easier to access process variables and the key diagnostic information, such as NAMUR NE 107 state signals, and seamless integration with PA - DIM.In addition, the field device configuration file will also simplify the debugging process, enhance asset monitoring, and integrated into the higher level of PLC, DCS and cloud-based systems.Ple雷竞技官网iosase visit odva.org for the latest version of the EtherNet/IP specifications, including EtherNet/IP process equipment configuration file.
