Schneider Hybrid DCS

Schneider had integrated its Eco structure SCADA system with 580M controllers to create a hybrid DCS. The system has a server-client architecture with redundancy at the controller, communication, and power supply levels. It provides many standard DCS features. Overall the system functionality is satisfactory, though some modifications are needed for custom requirements. The document evaluates this hybrid DCS system for potential use in a waste heat recovery power plant.

System Introduction of Schneider hybrid DCS

• Schneider had integrated Eco structure scada (earlier Citect) with


580M controller (earlier Modicon PLC).
• Schneider R&D team developing & updating features of DCS, hence it
is called Hybrid DCS.
• Over the time R&D team rectified many bugs to run the system
trouble free.
• It is having Server-Client architecture.
• Also redundancy is available at Controller, communication &power
supply level.
• The system is having almost all DCS features as cited in attached
Technical sheet.

Positive points
• Overall system functionality is very good as per user feedback.
• Power library is available in updated version.
• Redundancy of I/O communication-TCP network-Controller is OK.
• Low cost hardware & software, hence will reduce inventory cost.
• Wide range of Scada features e.g. Alarm-Event filter, Bypass indicator, reports etc.
• Performance with IMCC is also satisfactory.
• Logic blocks can be customized.
• Support to user is excellent.
Negative points
• Logic modification, Tag creation, Range change etc. takes time.
• Earlier Controller to Controller communication issues were there, later the same was rectified.
• Scada modification also takes time.
• Library required to be modified as per user requirement, which itself takes lots of efforts.
• Direct bypass if required, needs lots of steps to follow, hence Signal bypass provided in Scada.
• Higher grade Servers required for smooth performance.

Conclusion
• Overall functionality of the system is satisfactory as explained by users.
• To replicate this system functionality same as DCS system, many system features
as available in existing DCS systems to be considered during technical evaluation.
• Assuming in WHR PP, boiler does not have critical & complex logics as the same is
in CPP boilers & TG system having its own protection system, hence the said
system shall be considered for WHR power plant.
• To understand system functionality in details we may plan visit other plant having
Schneider installation & also we may schedule our local team visit to SRCP
cement plant line-3, as it has latest version Schneider system installed.
• Considering above all cited points we may evaluate it’s technical specification
along with other DCS makes in up coming WHR projects.
