1.5 Control System Architecture


Principle

The control system is a communication system consisting of controllers and links.

The structure of the control system should reflects that of the plant

Ideally, each unit of the plant should have its own controller, interacting with the controllers of the other, related units, mirroring their physical interaction.

Example: Airbus: a wing is delivered with its own computers.


Example: Power plant control - 1980 (!)

Control systems look similar

all controllers can communicate as peers (without going through a central master), restricted only by throughput and modularity considerations.

Note: Honeywell's "DCS™" stands for "Distributed Control System", it is not a decentralized control system, but a control system for the process industry.

Hierarchies are simple and traditional


but Distributed Control Systems reflects a more

complex world....


Assessment

1. Draw a typical hierarchical control system showing busses and controllers

2. How does the network hierarchy relate to the plant control hierarchy ?

3. What is the difference between a centralized and a decentralized control system ?(can this difference be seen from the outside ?)
