Background

Analyzer integration presents a unique set of challenges for solutions such as Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and Quality by Design (QbD)

Large variety of analyzers typesDifferent vendors

Different data types (arrays & structures)

Many different ways to integrate analyzers and execute control from external systems

New process optimization opportunities requireUnit and system level coordination

Control of multiple analyzers from different vendors

OPC/UA ADI Vision

Just as field device standards have driven the widespread adoption of intelligent field devices in the process industries, this specification will promote the use of high level analyzers in manufacturing processes.

Provide a model for implementing a software interface that exposes the capabilities of process and laboratory analyzers in a standard discoverable way

Provides guaranteed access to the raw data not just the derived values

Uses the widely accepted, platform-neutral OPC/UA specification.

Timeline

An OPC foundation working group was formed to turn this vision into reality

February 2008 – kickoff

December 2008 - Draft released

First Reference Implementations – Q2 2009

Release – October 1st, 2009

January 2010 – Reference Implementation for ADI clients and servers completed

Less than two years later the specification was released –A major achievement

Later in 2010 – First ADI compliant products ?

Analyzers Types

The ADI standard provides a generic analyzer object

Subtypes have been defined for certain analyzer classes

Spectrometer, particle size analyzer and gas chromatograph have well defined status, data types and commands

Mass Spectrometer, Acoustic Spectrometer, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer are defined but not complete


Analyzer typesADI can support a wide range of analyzers

Light Spectrometers

IR/NIR spectrometers

UV/VIS spectrometers

FT-IR/NIR spectrometers

Raman Spectrometers

Imaging spectrometers

Terahertz spectrometers

Radiometers

Light Induced Fluorescence

Technology DemonstrationACHEMA Fair, Germany – Spring, 2009

The true power of OPC/UA ADI was first demonstrated

A simulated ABB FTIR spectrometer was connected over OPC/UA ADI to an OSI-PI historian

The FTIR simulator was build on a OPC/UA ADI server and OSI-PI used a standard OPC/UA client to browse the server and discover the available data


Technology DemonstrationACHEMA Fair, Germany – Spring, 2009


ADI Analyzer Model ADI provides an extensible data model

Represents a generic analyzer as a measuring device with n channels

Models the slots for sample accessories and the actual installed accessories

The model is flexible enough to represent analyzer systems made up of many discrete analyzers

ADI Defines 2 Server ProfilesAnalyzers are represented by UA servers

Level 1 – Is a self testable profile

Provides access to ADI commands and data

Provides basic configurability through upload of a configuration structure

Level 2

Provides access to all the configuration parameters as individual read/write variables

Verifiable by comparing to all the settings possible in the analyzer native software


ADI Analyzers State Machine

ADI provides an analyzer state machine for use with all analyzer types

The state machine utilizes OPC/UA built in command and status communication capabilities

All required analyzer and application specific functions can be implemented in defined sub-states

ADI defines ISA88 type analyzer channel states and operating sub-states including sub-states for Sample Acquisition, Reference Acquisition, and Cleaning


OPC/UA BenefitsBuilds on widely accepted OPC standards

Platform neutral. Can be implemented on any Operating System (not based on Microsoft DCOM)

Supports complex (PAT) data types and object models

Supports XML and high speed binary communication

Includes built-in communication buffering and failure handling

Designed with corporate IT security and firewalls in mind

Broad industry support including process automation, ISA95, ISA88, EDDL, MIMOSA and OAGiS


ADI Builds on OPC/UA specificationsADI is one of many OPC/UA information model extensions

OPC/UA ADI BenefitsADI inherits all the benefits of OPC/UA, plus…

Data Integration simplified through ADI analyzer software model with definition of common parameters names

Complex data communication enabled through definition of array data types including the metadata for spectra, particle size distributions… and images commonly utilized by analyzers – data no longer needs to be transferred as a file

Integration of analyzer sampling simplified with definition of a generic analyzer channel state model

Data analysis efficiencies through definition of sample and acquisition timestamps and batch context data as an integrated part of result data


OPC/UA ADI BenefitsADI inherits all the benefits of OPC/UA, plus…

Analyzer installation and commissioning time reduced through browsing and command capability of a simple generic OPC/UA ADI client

Improved integration support with elimination of point to point solutions and OPC/UA ADI certification testing

Flexible architecture supporting analyzers, servers, historians, and multivariate modeling software

More affordable to implement analyzers as a key input to PAT/QbD initiatives


S95 ViewHow to Implement a PAT System


Real time release of a batchADI is an enabling technology


What's next?

Availability of products implementing ADI

Statements of support in future products have been made by vendors on the working group

First product announcements made by ABB

ABB Analyze IT eXtended PAT (xPAT) supports OPC/UA today and will support ADI in 2011

ABB analytics has announced that future analyzers will implement ADI

Other announcements expected now that the standard is released
