Regarding the licensing and simulation of various DCS systems, this is intended to facilitate everyone’s learning of *related DCS systems
Thread Content
Please fill in the information in the following format: DCS manufacturer: HONEYWELL; System name: PKS; Authorization method: An authorization code is required during installation; Is authorization needed for simulation? Yes; Method of obtaining authorization: It can currently only be obtained from the manufacturer through official channels (but a colleague of mine installed it, I used GHOST to copy it to my own machine, and it worked there – what excitement!: lol); Degree of simulation: Very high, as almost all functions are simulated; Difficulty of software installation: R210 is difficult, with frequent problems; As for R310, I haven’t installed it yet, but it’s said to be simpler than R210
DCS manufacturer: HONEYWELL System name: TPS Authorization required: No authorization needed. Is authorization required for simulation? No. Method of obtaining authorization: None. Degree of simulation: Hardware is necessary for programming (if hardware is available, it’s not considered simulation, haha). Difficulty of software installation: Who knows? Please provide more details
DCS manufacturer: Yokogawa System name: CS3000 Authorization method: Authorization document Is authorization required for simulation? Yes Method to obtain authorization: Authorization documents are available online Level of simulation: High Difficulty of software installation: Simple
DCS manufacturer: ROCKWELL System name: RSLOGICX, FACTORYTALK Authorization method: Authorization document Is authorization required for simulation? Yes Method to obtain authorization: The authorization document can be found online Level of simulation: High Difficulty of software installation: Simple (do not forget to install RSLINK)
DCS manufacturer: ABB System name: AC800 Authorization method: Hardware dongle Is authorization required for simulation? No, but there is a 100-day time limit; I think that’s sufficient. Method of obtaining authorization: None Level of simulation: It has only been installed; those who know the specific level of simulation please provide information. Difficulty of software installation: Simple
This post was last edited by zzllyp on 2018-9-27 at 11:53. DCS manufacturer: SIEMENS; System name: PCS7; Licensing method: license file; Is licensing required for simulation? Yes; Method of obtaining licensing: available online in abundance; Degree of simulation accuracy: high; Difficulty of software installation: rather complicated; many problems can arise if the installation is not done properly
DCS manufacturer: FOXBRO System name: I/A Authorization method: Required. Authorization files are needed for operational configuration. Is authorization required for simulation? No. Method of obtaining authorization: There is a virtual software along with a large file; both are used together for simulation. Level of simulation: Unknown; those who know please provide information. Difficulty of software installation: Since operation and simulation involve different software, the installation of the simulation software is very simple if it is only used for learning purposes
DCS manufacturer: Xinhua System name: XDPS-400 Authorization method: Registration code Is authorization required for simulation? Yes Method of obtaining authorization: Can be cracked by oneself Level of simulation: High Difficulty of software installation: Simple
DCS manufacturer: Siemens System name: PCS7 V6.2 Authorization method: Authorization document Is authorization required for simulation? Yes Method to obtain authorization: The authorization document can be found online Level of simulation: Unknown; those who know please provide information Difficulty of software installation: Moderate
DCS manufacturer: EMERSON System name: DELTAV Authorization method: Hardware dog Is authorization required for simulation? Yes Method of obtaining authorization: A simulated dog can be used Simulation level: High Difficulty of software installation: Simple
DCS manufacturer: EMERSON System name: DeltaV Authorization method: Hardware dongle + authorization file or universal dongle Is authorization required for simulation? Yes Method of obtaining authorization: Purchase Level of simulation accuracy: High Difficulty of software installation: Simple
