4 HIS FUNCTIONS Objectives: In this section, the students learns how to create and define a HIS Operator Station, including Trend Definition. 4.1 CREATING THE HIS When a project is created, an HIS is automatically created. A new HIS can be added in one of two ways:

1. Select [FILE] [CREATE NEW] [HIS] 2. Click on an existing HIS in the System View and drag it to the Project Name.

A dialog box will appear titled Create New HIS. The items to configure are as follows:

Type Constant Network

See below for detailed information on configuration of these items. A new folder within the project will appear titled: HISxxyy, where xx is the Domain number and yy is the Station number. Within this folder are three sub-folders:

CONFIGURATION contains the HIS configuration items WINDOW contains graphic windows for display HELP contains user-definable help windows

In addition to these items, there are configuration items available through the Operator Display. This section covers configuration items and help displays. Graphic displays are covered in section 9.


TE 33AU1C3-01 4-3

4.2 HIS PROPERTY CONFIGURATION The PROPERTIES dialog box appears for a HIS under the following circumstances: 1. The HIS is first created 2. Clicking on OpeconDef in the Configuration Folder of an existing HIS with the right

mouse button and selecting properties. There are three tabs in the dialog box and the configuration items within each are as follows:

Type

Station type

1. PHIS Yokogawa brand OPS, a console type HIS 2. PC with Operation and Monitoring Functions, the more common PC

based version.

Station Address

1. Station Number a number between 1 and 64. Note that it is the convention to start from 64 and countdown for each new HIS. This address must match the address on the V-Net card.

2. Domain Number this number must match the domain on the V-Net card

Constant

BuzzerACK - When there is a message originating from the HIS, the buzzer sounds in the tone corresponding to the message type. When operator acknowledges the alarm on one HIS, the buzzer sound is reset on all the HISs that have the same ACK ID defined for the buzzer. The definition for ACK ID is limited to 8 alphanumeric characters. Operation Group Identifier Identifies the HIS as belonging to a particular operation group. Operation groups are discussed in more detail in section 3.

Network

Refer to the section on System Configuration (Section 2) for more details.


TE 33AU1C3-01 4-4

4.3 HIS CONSTANTS The HIS Opecon Definition panel appears when the OpenDef icon is double clicked. Note that not all the tabs appear when first called up. These appear when Detailed Setting Items in the View menu is selected. The following tab items appear:

Printer Open I/F Closing Process Long-Term Data Save

4.3.1 Printer

HIS Printer Name

Message output may be assigned to different printers, according to the message type. The messages output to printer may be assigned as [None], [MSG1], [MSG2], [MSG3], [MSG4], [MSG5] according to the message type. The default setting is all types of message are assigned to MSG1.

User Group

When printing, the scope of operation and monitoring of the designated user group decides the scope of the message to print out. The message outside of the operation and monitoring scope can not be printed. The default user group is DEFGRP (all), messages of all stations may be printed out.

TAB

To make the message printout easier to read, different types of messages can be indented. By setting the number of tabs for each message type, the indentation can be set individually.

Print Wait Time

The messages are not sent to printer until they are piled up to fit one page for print. With definition of the queuing time, the message may be sent to printer when the defined queuing time has elapsed. When Queuing time is specified as 0, the auto print does not function. Auto print queuing time may be defined on the HIS Message Print Wait Time definition tab strip of the HIS constant definition builder. Printer queuing time: Define in minutes per HIS printer. The default is 5 minutes.


TE 33AU1C3-01 4-5

4.3.2 Open I/F

Defines the user group in which the HIS resides. 4.3.3 Closing Process

Hourly Closing Data Processing

In the hourly closing data processing, the trend data of the previous one hour are gathered from the saved trend data file, in which the trend gathering pens specified for closing processing are also saved. The hourly closing data such as the average, total, maximum and minimum values are calculated for this one hour based on the gathered valid data. The calculated hourly closing data are stored into the hourly closing data files created for each trend gathering pen. Hourly closing data processing is performed at the closing time of every hour. The number of data points used for the hourly closing processing vary depending on the trend sampling period.

Daily Closing Data Processing

In the daily closing data processing, the hourly closing data of the previous 24 hours are gathered and the daily closing data are calculated for the day, including the average, total, maximum and minimum values. The calculated daily closing data are stored into the daily closing data files created for each trend gathering pen. Daily closing processing is performed after the hourly closing processing at the daily closing time every day. The default daily closing time is 0:00 am. Unlike the hourly and monthly closing times which are fixed by the system, the daily closing time may be adjusted within the range of 0:00 to 23:00 (in hour units).

Monthly Closing Processing

In the monthly closing processing, the daily closing data of the previous one month are gathered, and the monthly closing data are calculated for the month. The calculated monthly data are stored into the monthly data files created for each trend gathering pen. Monthly closing processing is performed after the daily closing processing on the last day of each month.


TE 33AU1C3-01 4-6

4.3.4 Long-Term Data Save

After trend data, closing data and historical messages are saved using the HIS standard function, they are automatically stored via the long-term data archive function. The storage period in the Long-term archive function is depended on the data type and data storage unit defined on the trend acquisition pen assignment definition builder or on the HIS constants definition builder. When the storage period is defined, the required total hard disk space is calculated automatically. As long as 5 % free space is reserved in the hard disk, the data storage may take as much space as desired.

4.4 FUNCTION KEY DEFINITION The types of functions assignable to the function keys include the following: 4.4.1 Calling Windows Calls the operation and monitoring windows. The window call function is assigned using the format below.

4.5 SEQUENCE MESSAGE REQUEST DEFINITION The sequence message request is sent by the process sequence control function at a certain process timing to HIS to execute certain operation and monitoring functions. The functions to be executed for the corresponding request message numbers may be defined in the operation and monitoring functions. After the operation and monitoring functions execution, the request messages are logged into the historical message log files. The trigger of request messages is shown as below: Calling up windows Execution of system function key Start/Stop/Resume data trend Calling up panel set (*1)

LED on the operation keyboard Flashes Execution of programs Log to historical message file Printout report

*1: Panel set is a function of CS 3000.

Figure 4.1 Occurrence of a Request Message The commands available are the same as those for function keys.


TE 33AU1C3-01 4-15

Designate Station Name The sequence message request is managed in the HIS. Usually, ALL is specified in the station name item thus, the request received from all FCSs may be executed. If a station name is designated, only the request from the designated station is executed.


TE 33AU1C3-01 4-16

4.6 SCHEDULER DEFINITION The commands available in the scheduler are the same as those for function keys, except that they are executed automatically according to the timing specified in the Scheduler Builder. 4.6.1 Execution Syntax of the Functions Defined on Scheduler The defined functions may be executed by scheduler in the following manner:

Execute once when startup the operation and monitoring functions. Execute once at the specified time and specified day every month. Execute once at the specified time and the specified day every week. Execute at the specified time every day.

As shown below, the start date, start time, period, number of times that can be defined vary startup method of the function.

Table 4.1 Scheduler Definition Method for Each Type of Function Startup

Type Start Definition Start Time Period Daily - 00:00 - 23:59 In minutes* Weekly MON - SUN 00:00 - 23:59 - Monthly 1-31 or END 00:00 - 23:59 - Yearly Specify month no. (1-12) and day of month 00:00 - 23:59 - * For daily execution, it is possible to specify a period, and number of times it is executed during the day. For example, if the period is set to 60 minutes and the number of times per day is 24, then it will print a report on an hourly basis. Use the date and time displayed in the system message window as reference when

defining the date and time of execution. Starting time is specified in minutes, and seconds are always set to 0 (zero).

When multiple functions are specified for execution at the same time, the functions

are executed in the defined order. To define a function to be executed at the end of every month, specify end with Monthly. If 31 is defined with Monthly, the scheduler will not execute the function in February, April, June, September and November.

If the defined function is to be executed everyday, the execution period and

number of times should be defined. However, an error occurs if the product of the execution period and number of times exceeds 24 hours.

For example, an error will not occur if a function with period of 1 hour is defined

to be executed for 10 times, but an error will occur if the same function is defined to be executed for 25 times, because the 1-hour period times number of times equals 25 hours.


TE 33AU1C3-01 4-17

4.7 TREND ACQUISITION FUNCTION The Configuration folder of the HIS contains 50 trend blocks (8 for CS1000). Each block contains upto 16 pages of 8 pen trends.

Setup of these blocks is accessed by clicking on the trend block with the right mouse button. This opens the Trend Block Properties.

4.7.3 Trend Point Window The trend point window is opened from the trend window. One trend pen is displayed in each trend point window. There are 6400 trend point windows for each HIS.

4.7.4 Trend Data Acquisition Types The acquisition type of process data are defined for each trend block. The data acquisition include the following 4 types: 4.7.4.1 Continuous-Rotary Type

By this mode, process data are acquired constantly. Data acquisition starts automatically after starting the operation and monitoring function. Data acquisition stops when the operation and monitoring function stops. Acquired data will not be erased after the operation and monitoring function stops. When the storage capacity becomes full, the oldest data is deleted and replaced by new data.

4.7.4.2 Batch-Stop Type By this type, data acquisition starts and stops according to the received command. If no stop instruction is given, data acquisition will stop automatically when the storage capacity becomes full. The acquisition start and stop commands may be sent from:

Button on the tool bar of the trend windows, Function key or graphic window, or Sequence messages.

4.7.4.3 Batch-Rotary Type

By this type, data acquisition starts and stops according to the received command. If no stop instruction is given, data acquisition will continue until the storage capacity becomes full. Once it is full, the oldest data are deleted and replaced by new data. The acquisition start and stop commands may be sent from:


TE 33AU1C3-01 4-19

Button on the tool bar of the trend window, Function key or graphic window, or Sequence messages.

4.7.4.4 Trend Acquired by other HIS By this type, trend data acquired by other HIS may be referenced in blocks. On the trend gathering pen assignment definition builder, define the name of other HIS and the number of trend block to be acquired.

4.7.5 Sampling Period and Recording Span of Trend Data The sampling period of process data are specified for each trend block. The sampling period can be selected from 1 second, 10 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes or 10 minutes. No more than 2 trend blocks can be specified with the sampling period 1 second or 10 seconds. The trend data may be used as closing data are 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes, 4 types. The recording span indicates the time to acquire 2,880 samples for each trend graph (maximum number of samples) in the specified sampling period. The table below shows the relationship between trend sampling periods and recording span:

Table 4.2 Trend Sampling Periods and Maximum Recording Span Sampling period

1 second 10 seconds 1 minute 2 minutes 5 minutes 10 minutes

Recording Span

48 minutes 8 hours 2 days 4 days 10 days 20 days

For example, if the trend sampling period is 1 minute, 1 (minute)32,880 samples = 2,880 minutes = 48 hours = 2 days 2 days of process data may be recorded.


TE 33AU1C3-01 4-20

4.8 TREND DATA DISPLAY FUNCTION The trend data display function displays acquired or saved trend data on the trend window. To display trend data on the trend window or trend point window, trend data must be assigned to each trend gathering pen of the trend groups. 4.8.1 Trend Data Display Unit

Trend data are displayed in trend groups in a graph. Up to eight recording points can be displayed per trend group.

4.8.2 Trend Pen Assignment To display trend data in a trend or a trend point window, trend data must be assigned to each recording point (trend gathering pen) in trend groups. Up to 8 trend data, 8 trend gathering pens, can be assigned to each trend group. On the trend gathering pen assignement definition builder, the following 4 items may be defined.

Tag name and Data Item name Define the tag name and data item of process data in the following format. Tag Name. Data Item

Data axis span change For each trend, user can specify whether or not to change data axis span. When data axis span change is not specified, the range of the data item of the function block which is assigned to the pen is applied. The default of the data axis span change is no check.

High limit, Low limit Define the high limit and low limit each trend data displayed in trend window when data axis span changes. However, the trend data acquired from other consoles are displayed in accordance with that defined in the original console.

Defining the Display Data Type The display data type of each trend gathering pen is defined to display data in the trend window.


TE 33AU1C3-01 4-21

The data display for the trend gathering pen include the following types:

Table 4.3 Display Data Types of the Trend Gathering Pen Data type Display type Default Acquired data are displayed in the default data type

in the instrument faceplate showing the function block of the acquisition source.

Analog type Acquired process data are displayed in the data axis range 0 to 100 % of the trend graph.

Discrete type Acquired ON/OFF data are displayed in the fixed data axis range 6 % of the trend graph.

Totalizer value (analog type)

Acquired process data are displayed in the data axis range 0 to 100 % of the trend graph. Process data acquired are not single-precision data but double-precision data.

Process data are normally acquired as single-precision data (numerical value with about 6 effective digits). If more than 6 effective digits are required, specify the totalizer value as the display data type to acquire double-precision data (with 9 effective digits).

CAUTION If data are acquired in double-precision data type, the data storage space equivalent to that of 2 trend gathering pens will be used for each one trend gathering pen. For this reason, totalizer va lue display data type can be specified only for the trend gathering pens with odd numbers. When using closing function to calculate the closed area total value, the data item SUM should be specified for the trend gathering pen and the totalizer value should be specified for the data display.


TE 33AU1C3-01 4-22

4.9 CLOSING PROCESSING FUNCTION Closing Processing is configured through the Trend Acquisition Definition Builder, by selecting [Closing Definition] from the VIEW menu. The closing processing function creates closing data for statistical processing, such as average values and total values, based on trend data acquired by the trend recording function. 4.9.1 Closing Processing

The closing processing function calculates the data acquired from trend recording function into the statistical data for report function such as the hourly, daily or monthly average, sum or other type of closing data. The closing data saved as files can be used via OPC interface or DDE interface for report function (Logging Report Package) or other functions. Furthermore, via OPC interface or DDE interface, Microsoft Excel or other MS Windows application can access the saved data. The following figure shows the positioning of the closing processing function.

4.10 MISCELLANEOUS TREND FUNCTIONS 4.10.1 Trend Save Function Using Save As Acquired process data can be saved into other files under the designated names. Data are saved in trend groups.

Saving Trend Data Call up the trend data save dialog from the trend group window to save trend data.

Using Saved Trend Data The saved trend data can be used for the following purpose: Used as batch trend reference patterns.

4.10.2 Using Reference Pattern A reference pattern is a trend pattern model used in trend graph. It can be displayed on a graph with trend data acquired in batch type. To create a reference pattern, the acquired batch trend data are used.

Creating Reference Pattern To use acquired data as a reference pattern, save the acquired trend data into a file using the Save As.. function. Specify the data in the saved file as the reference pattern. Saving the data into a file and specifying the data in the saved file can be carried out from the trend window tool bar.

Reference Pattern When trend data are acquired in batch type, the reference pattern and trend data can be displayed on one graph by allocating the reference pattern to each recorded locus of the trend pen.

TE 33AU1C3-01 4-26

4.11 USER-DEFINABLE HELP This is a help message that the user can freely define. The user can define help messages to explain the function and operating procedure for user defined windows or help messages to explain the function block. The user can search for user-defined help by entering the window name, tag name or help number as the keyword. The user-definable help message is defined in the help message definition builder. Define an arbitrary number between 0001 to 9999 as help number. The maximum number of characters allowed in one help message is up to 21 lines, each line containing 70 single-byte characters.

4.12 WINDOW HIERARCHY In the operation and monitoring functions, the operation and monitoring windows can be organized systematically based on the concept of window hierarchy. The window hierarchy enables top-down window calling and alarm monitoring operations. 4.12.1 Concept of Window Hierarchy

When a window hierarchy is used, the desired window can be called directly without having to remember the window name. Also, the hierarchical relationship of the windows can be understood visually. For user-defined windows, a new window can be created in the folder representing a window, or a window in one folder can be moved to another folder, allowing the user to define the position within the window hierarchy in system view as desired. There is no need to define upper and lower windows for each window. However, the process alarm window and other system windows provided by the operation and monitoring functions occupy predefined positions in the window hierarchy. These positions in the window hierarchy are fixed.


TE 33AU1C3-01 4-27

The figure below illustrates the concept of window hierarchy. Each icon shown in the figure represents a window.

Figure 4.6 Window Hierarchy Built around Process Overviews

4.12.2 Building Window Hierarchies During system generation, windows can be created top-down, intended for window hierarchy. Or, individually created windows can be organized later in a hierarchical structure using the system view.

4.12.3 Organizing the Windows Hierarchically around Alarm Monitoring The overview object, which is one of the constituent elements of a graphic, has functions such as process status list display, alarm status acknowledgment operation, and calling related windows. By organizing the windows hierarchically using this overview objects, alarm status and other information in the lower window can be consolidated in the upper graphic window and monitored. Therefore, the alarm status of the entire plant can be grasped at a glance in the uppermost graphic window.


TE 33AU1C3-01 4-28

4.12.4 Example of Alarm Notification Using the Overview Objects Alarm status windows can be called easily by clicking the overview object that represents the occurrence of an alarm.

Figure 4.7 Alarm Notification Using Overview Objects

The objects capable of notifying an alarm include the following:

Overview objects to which a tag name or window name (graphic window, process alarm window, operator guide window, or system alarm window) is assigned.

Instrument faceplate objects Objects for which alarm-triggered blinking is defined in the graphic modifier

condition.

4.14 HIS-TSE Configuration Remote HIS operation and monitoring is possible using the HIS-TSE function. This makes use of the standard remote connection function available in Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server. To use this function, a HIS-TSE Server must be installed onto the Vnet, so that TSE clients can connect over a remote connection. The package to be installed into the server is: LHS1150 - Server for Remote Operation and Monitoring Function.


TE 33AU1C3-01 4-32

4.14.1 Operation and Monitoring through HIS-TSE When a client logs on to the HIS-TSE server, the HIS function automatically starts. In addition, the client can display HIS windows in two different modes:

Desktop Mode where the windows are displayed in an identical way to a HIS. Panel Mode only specific HIS windows are displayed, without the System Status

Display window. This is much faster and used in the event of low bandwidth in the remote connection.

Desktop Mode The operation and monitoring windows can be displayed in the same style as the standard HIS as well as the system message windows. The windows used as the operation panels can also be displayed in window mode or full-screen mode, same as the standard HIS. Up to five windows can be displayed at the same time. This limitation can be adjusted on the HIS-TSE tab of HIS Utility.

Starting a remote desktop session:

1. In your remote PC, click on: Start Programs Accessories Communications Remote Desktop Connection

2. Click on Options and select the General tab. Set the following settings:

Computer: Computer name of the HIS-TSE Server User name: CENTUM Password: empty Domain: empty


TE 33AU1C3-01 4-34

3. Click on Programs and set up as shown below:

This assumes that CS3000 has been installed into the C:\CS3000 on the server. In some cases it may have been installed onto another disk, in which case, specify that disk instead. 4. Save this configuration. Go back to the General tab and click on Save As. If you save this configuration to the Desktop, then by double-clicking on the icon on the desktop, you can immediately connect to the HIS-TSE server. 5. Connect. Click on the Connect button to connect to the server. 6. Edit you settings. Right-click on the icon on the desktop and select Edit from the desktop menu. Note: when the connection is made, the batch file: startdesktop.bat is executed on the HIS-TSE server. This batch file can be modified to include other applications you may wish to start. However, it must contain the following as a minimum: start explorer.exe start BKHBos.exe -D

Starting a remote desktop session:

To terminate a HIS-TSE remote desktop session, do the following: i. In the HIS desktop, open the USER_IN dialog and select Logoff ii. In Windows on your client PC, click on: Start Shut Down CENTUM Logoff iii. If there has been no activity for a period of time, you will be logged off automatically.


TE 33AU1C3-01 4-36

Panel Mode

In panel mode, a single faceplate of function block, a designated trend window or graphic window can be displayed on clients desktop. However, when establishing the session with HIS-TSE, the HIS starting window and the system message window will not be displayed. Moreover, only two designated windows can be displayed on a client. Thus, the session can be established much faster.


TE 33AU1C3-01 4-37

Starting a remote panel session: Configuration: The procedure is the same as for starting a session in Desktop mode. However, instead of invoking the startdesktop.bat file, run the BKHBos.exe program with the -P argument, followed by the window name. Some exampled are given below: C:\CS3000\program\BKHBos.eve P O BKPID TUN display the tuning window of the

BKPID function block. C:\CS3000\program\BKHBos.eve P O .AL display the process alarm page. C:\CS3000\program\BKHBos.eve P O GR0001 display the graphic GR0001 C:\CS3000\program\BKHBos.eve P K NAVI display the navigator window

In this way, a specific window will be called, rather than the whole HIS desktop. This is particularly useful if the bandwidth of your remote connection is low, as there is a minimal overhead in the data communication. Note that the method for displaying specific windows is the same as that for a function key or preset menu. Refer to the CS3000 Engineering Training manual (section 4) for a description of the available commands.

Connecting:

Click the Connect button to begin the session.

The HIS User-In dialog box will appear. Enter a user name and password as defined in the CS3000 Common builder.

Operation:

It is not possible to change to other displays in this mode. To do this, connect again with another configuration as described above. Remember that a maximum of two sessions can be initiated from the one client.

It is possible to switch user. Since there is no direct access to the User-In dialog box,

you need to press: [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Backspace].

The HIS buzzer for the alarm function does not work in panel mode because there is no way of silencing it.

Terminating a session:

Terminating a session is the same as described for terminating a Desktop session. Remember that to log out, you need to press: [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Backspace].

Basic Configuration

The settings regarding to the HIS-TSE can be set on the HIS Utility. The basic settings of HIS-TSE and their main features are explained as follows. The basic setting items of HIS-TSE are:

Enable or disable automatic logoff and the inactive period for automatic logoff. Refresh rate of remote windows Maximum number of remote windows

These settings are required separately for both desktop mode and panel mode and need to be set on the HIS-TSE tab of HIS Utility. The HIS-TSE tab becomes available after the package Server for Remote Operation and Monitoring Function is installed. The HIS Utility can be started from either HIS-TSE server or HIS-TSE client, however, limited to one session only. The settings on General tab of HIS Utility are the local settings of the HIS-TSE server (same as the settings for the standard HIS that is not supporting remote connection).

0 means that there is no time out.

This value cannot be changed.

4.14.3 Errors and Precautions System Load

The communication load of HIS-TSE is much higher than HIS, thus the session management becomes very important. For the HIS-TSE information regarding to CS 3000 sessions, a dedicated tool is available. This tool is located in the HIS-TSE server but can be started either from the HIS-TSE server or from the HIS-TSE client. On the command prompt, type the following command can start this command: C:\CS3000\His\Tool\BKHTseTool.exe For session management, the [Terminal Service Manager] in Administrative Tools of Windows Server 2003 should be used.

Error Messages

Starting Error If a HIS-TSE client is trying to establish remote connection with the PC where HIS-TSE server package is not installed, the following warning message will be displayed when the HIS-TSE client is logging on.

Error When the Reaching the Maximum Number of Sessions If a HIS-TSE client is trying to logon to the HIS-TSE server where the server has reached the maximum number of sessions it supports, a warning message box will be displayed and the HIS will not be connected. However, since the logon is valid thus it is necessary to logoff after clicking [OK] button on this warning message box. After another client logs off and a session is released, you can logon again to start HIS-TSE. The warning message is shown as follows:

Exclusive Connection Error 1.

The applications such as HIS Utility or System View in the HIS-TSE server can be started either from the HIS-TSE server or from the HIS-TSE client. However, only one session can be executed. When a client is sending a command to start an application while another client is using the same application, a warning message will be displayed as follows:
