Help! Issue regarding reading the status of cards in the DCS system by Zhejiang University Zhongkong
Thread Content
I’m facing a difficult problem right now; I’ve thought about it for a long time without finding a solution. I was wondering if anyone in the group knows the answer? The specific details are as follows: The DCS systems that I use frequently at present are AB and Zhejiang University Control System. For AB systems, the status of the processor, redundant modules, as well as cards such as DI, DO, AI, and AO can all be made available for third-party reading in OPC format through programs written for this purpose. For Zhejiang University SUNY, the status of each card can be viewed in the real-time monitoring host computer. But how can these statuses be transmitted elsewhere? Logically speaking, if the status of these cards can be displayed on the host computer within the central control system, there should also be a way to transmit this status information to other host computers. But I have no idea as to the specific approach~~~ Does anyone among you know it? Thank you! ! !
Your question is quite vague; for example, regarding the hardware status information of the central DCS, where do you think it should be displayed? In other DCS systems? Do you have an OPC server?

Hello, basically I want to view the hardware status information of the DCS, and also display this information on a third-party host computer. The computer where the engineer station is located currently has OPC, and the JX server is being used. But as for the specific approach and how to start writing the code, I don’t know where to begin
What system? ECS700? Or something else? The 700 system can be implemented
Our company’s system is ECS100; I’m not sure if this can be achieved If it’s an ECS700, is programming still required? Can we just use OPC reading directly? :handshake
You’re using the VF3.1 version of the software, right? This cannot be achieved in reality; the ECS700 can do it. The software used is VF4.2, and the system’s built-in OPC software allows all hardware information to be viewed. It is possible to configure it so that it can be made available to third parties
No, the software used is Advantrol Pro 2.7. If it’s not possible to implement ECS100, then the next step will be to start working on another research direction, without trying to use ECS100 anymore. Thank you very much:handshake
