Distribution of DCS in key industries

Thread Content

Below is the distribution of major DCS systems in different industries, for reference only: Petrochemicals: 1. Honeywell 2. Yokogawa 3. Emerson 4. Foxboro 5. ABB 6. Siemens; Chemical industry: 1. Honeywell 2. Yokogawa 3. Emerson 4. Foxboro 5. ABB 6. Siemens 7. Inovance 8. Hollyland. It should be noted that ABB, strictly speaking, does not have any DCS systems. There was once a DCS called ProcessingLogix, developed in collaboration with Honeywell; Honeywell’s version of it is called PlantScape. Now AB has destroyed this system on its own. No more recommendations for papermaking DCS systems: 1. ABB–DCS-800XA/QCS-AC450; 2. Honeywell–DCS-PKS, TPS/QCS-Da Vinci (considered the most expensive and best QCS system in the world); 3. Mesto–DCS-MaxDNA/QCS-MaxQCS (although it seems to use the same hardware as DCS systems); 4. Siemens–DCS-PCS7 (currently upgraded to SiPaper)/QCS – it is said to be available, but it’s an OEM version. 5. Yokogawa--DCS-CS3000/QCS-unknown 6. For small-scale projects: Zhejiang University Shuangyuan, Zhejiang University Zhongkong, Hilscher. Power: 600MW large units: 1. Emerson’s WestingHouse–Ovation system (reputed to be the most expensive, reliable, and stable power DCS system in the world). 2. ABB’s Bailey–Symphony system (I wonder how much longer the Dream Symphony can be performed?) ) 3. Foxboro under Invensys – the I/A Series system (it seems that Siemens is on the verge of overtaking it to take third place). 4. Siemens PG Group under Siemens – the SPPA-T3000 (the electrical version of pcs7); however, it does not belong to Siemens Automation and Drives Group. 5. GE-Xinhua, under GE Industrial Base Energy. --XDPS-400E (however, its performance has been declining steadily, with almost no performance left in large-scale units). 6. Hilscher – MACS-SM system. (After all, it’s the manufacturer claimed to have the highest performance in domestic systems with capacities over 600MW – Xinhua was acquired, so it doesn’t count.) 7.Metso--MaxDNA。 (By accident, Metso’s system, thanks to the efforts of Shangziyi, managed to achieve several 600MW units of output as well.) 8.Honeywell--TPS (large power units; HW has never used PKS before, so it’s uncertain whether it will use it in the future). 300MW unit levels: 1. HaliTech-MACS-SM (I assume it’s definitely closely related to **Fushou); 2. GE-Xinhua; 3. Foxboro; 4. Westinghouse, ABB-Bailey, Siemens-PG, etc. Cogeneration unit levels: 1. HaliTech MACS-FM; 2. Zhejiang University Zhongkong JX-300XP, ECS-100; 3. Others, etc. Construction materials: Cement: 1. ABB–AC800F; in the future, there will be an increasing use of AC800M in combination with 800XA, as currently China’s largest cement production lines use 800XA technology. ABB has already taken care of the Tianjin, Nanjing, and Hefei offices; only the Chengdu office remains. The output value of this office is not even comparable to that of the two offices in Tianjin. 2. Siemens – PCS7, as well as the enhanced version of PCS7 for cement applications, CEMAT, are all in use, after all, they are cheap. 3. Hilscher – Low prices are its hallmark. 4. Zhongkong – Following in Hilscher’s footsteps, it strives hard to achieve even lower prices than Hilscher. 5. Schneider Quantum, AB Logix5000 – strictly speaking, these are not DCSs. And its performance in the Chinese market is average. French-owned companies such as Lafarge tend to prefer Schneider, while American-owned companies prefer AB. Glass: 1. Siemens–the Siglass version specifically designed for PCS7 has a good reputation. 2. Invis’s EuroContinental company’s T2550, as well as the earlier model T940X, have performed well in terms of glass production, especially in terms of the furnace components. 3. ABB 4. DeltaV from Emerson – fewer projects, but the value of each order is high, haha. 5. Others: In the metallurgy industry, strictly speaking, the main control devices used are almost always PLCs, especially those used in conjunction with drive systems. Typical discrete control. There are also some process segments that are part of high-end systems; it’s hard to say whether they use DCS or PLC technology – they are generally referred to as HTCS, or high-end process control systems. 1. Siemens – the undisputed king of metallurgy. The advantage is most evident, especially when combined with transmission. Whether it’s PLC or PCS7. The performance is very good. TDC systems are often used in high-end processing stages such as rolling lines. 2. ABB – the same principle applies. Only DCS combined with drive systems makes a powerhouse in metallurgy. There were more AC800Fs in the past, but now there are more AC800Ms. The high-end processing stage often uses the AC800PEC system. The cost often exceeds 10 times that of DCS! 3.AB--not DCS, but it has good metallurgical performance. 4. Schneider--same as above. The performance of blast furnaces and converters is relatively good. 5. Others. Even Westinghouse’s Ovation has performance records for large blast furnaces. Wariki has control performance over small steel mills. Wait
