The hard drive of the DCS operation station is damaged; how to deal with it?
Thread Content
The hard drive of the operator station in the Honeywell DCS system is broken. I don’t know what to do; I earnestly ask everyone for some advice.
There is a backup available during installation, so it can be reinstalled. It is best to contact the supplier and equipment manufacturer to resolve this issue.
If the hard drive was previously mirrored, it’s simple – just find someone on the online market to recover the data. Find another hard drive of the same model, and data recovery can be done. If restoring data from an image on another operation station, it is recommended to consult Honeywell again.
Just kidding, how many control engineers are able to install Honeywell’s DCS system? Spend money to avert disaster. Have the procurement department purchase a computer directly from Honeywell, and then request technical personnel to come to the factory for support. No responsibility taken.
HONEYWELL servers are difficult to install; the operation stations are simpler. With some research, it should be manageable. I agree with what was said above – data recovery can be carried out in the market, but it’s not guaranteed that all data can be recovered. If there is a system image, things become simpler. It is recommended that the original poster create images of the other stations as well as soon as possible
To ensure the safe and stable operation of the system, the USB ports and hard drives on the system’s operation station are generally prohibited from being used. Since they are used infrequently, they are well protected. What causes physical damage to the hard drives?
If you haven’t done imaging yet, it’s better to turn to the manufacturer; maintaining Honeywell’s DCS is too troublesome.
The operation station is easy to fix: just buy a new hard drive, replace it, and reinstall the system. If you’re not sure how to do it, consider getting professional help
As my friends have already explained in detail, it involves using the existing Ghost software to create an identical copy of the system, which is then restored to a new computer – provided that the hardware is the same. After that, the configuration settings can be modified as needed.
