PlantPAx System Characterization
PlantPAx supports all widely spread Process Networks I/O
17
PlantPAx Process Networks I/OMain goal of PlantPAx SystemCharacterization is:
To provide a recommended architecture and information [boundaries] regarding a system operation and/or performance early in the sales cycle to reduce
To eliminate perceived risk of the system being able to provide the needed performance.
PlantPAx system is carefully testedand designed to ensure bestpossible performance.

Characterizing the System Loading by Using “Control Strategies”
A control strategy identifies the relationship between the loop control code and its data requirements. A control strategy can
represent any control code, such as process control, I/O, data flow, and visualization for a control entity. A control strategy can be a 2-
state device, a PID loop, a sequencing block.
19
Characterizing the System Loading by Using “Control Strategies”Using the control strategy model, weare able to estimate these systemparameters:
HMI server tags on scan (alarm tags, display tags, data log tags, event detector tags, and derived tags)
Controller memory usage
Controller execution time
20
1 Display Call up A HMI Display “Paint Time” is the time it takes to call up a new screen (not cached) and must be operational in less than 2 seconds
2 Display Data Update A change in a active value within any controller is displayed on a graphic screen on the OWS (HMI client) in less than 1 second.
3 Steady State Alarms The System must support a Steady State alarm condition, consisting of twenty new alarms being generated every second, with the difference between the time an alarm is triggered and its timestamp not exceeding one (1) second (cannot miss any alarm)
4 Alarm Burst The System must support an Alarm Burst condition, consisting of one thousand (1000) new alarms generated all at once, with the difference between the time any alarm is triggered and its alarm timestamp not exceeding three (3) seconds (cannot miss any alarms)
5 System Recovery Within five (5) minutes after a failed System Element is restored, the system should recover and perform as it did before the system element failure
System Performance Criteria in “Operational” Terms
21
22
6 Data Logging The system will be capable of continuously data logging a minimum of 200 independent points once a second
7 Paint Time for Datalog Trend A data log trend display will present 12 hours of historical data of any data logged point on the OWS within 30 seconds of the operators display request.
8 Operator Control The operator will be able to interact with the process by changing tag values in the controller within 2 seconds.
9 Control Loop Update Time The system will be capable of supporting 125 Complex Regulatory Control Loops (cascaded) within a 250ms periodic task. This time is from instrument to actuator.
10 Batch Server: Operator Action Time
An operator initiated Batch command will be responded to by the PAC with 1 second.
11 Batch Server: Server Action Time
A batch server initiated Batch command will be responded to by to the PAC with 1 second.
12 Batch Server: Controller Action Time
A batch Event in the Controller will provide the operator with feedback in 1 second .
Measuring System PerformanceThe Operator Interface is theCritical Element and has threemain features:
Display Call Up Time
Data Update Rate
Operator Command
The Operator Interface is the critical element

abnormal operation, supersedes Program and
Operator modes.
Maintenance: Commanded from the HMI for
maintenance, bypassable interlocks and
permissive and feedback checks can by bypassed.
