The version classification of Hilscher software, as well as the names and versions of the software

This post was last edited by lzs771010 on 2010-7-17 at 12:51. This cement plant is installing a 5MW low-temperature waste heat power generation project, and the control system uses Hilscher’s DCS. I’m not very clear about the software structure of this system – for example, whether it has upper-level and lower-level software components, what the current version is. Also, does the MACS software version V1.1+SP4 belong to MACS V or 6? Since I’m just starting to learn this, I’m not quite sure; please help me understand

Hollyland’s hardware is divided into standard (low-end) FM, mid-to-high end SM, and NM specifically designed for nuclear power plants. The software system is divided into MACS 3 (SmartPro V3.X) for lower-level programming, with Codesys being used for that purpose (it was called Conmaker at that time); the upper-level monitoring is handled by SmartPro (an OEM version of Citect, V5.4). MACS3 is primarily designed for use in FM applications, but it can also be used in SM applications. MACS5 (MACS V); it is said that V is the Roman numeral for 5. Hehe, but according to insiders, V stands for victory. MACS V1.0, V1.1, and later versions such as V1.1SP2, V1.1SP4, etc. This is what people usually refer to as MACS5. The lower-level programming for MACS V1.X is Codesys, while the upper-level version is MACS V. MACS V is an upgraded version of the original MACS2. It was developed by Hilscher itself. The image functions are rather basic. The database uses SyBase 5 from 15 years ago. This is a bit confusing. MACS V1.X is primarily used in conjunction with FM hardware and SM hardware. MACS V6 software system. The lower-level software is Codesys, while the upper-level monitoring system is MACS V6. The image functions have improved significantly compared to MACS V1.X. It is said that stability has also **improved**. MACS V6 is primarily designed for use with NM hardware in nuclear power applications, but it can also be used with SM hardware. The use of the term MACS V6 is gradually being phased out nowadays. MACS V4.5 software system. MACS V4.5 is an upgrade from MACS 3. The lower-level programming software is Codesys, while the upper-level monitoring system is MACS V4.5; the current version is V4.5.2 (the kernel remains an OEM version of Citect V5.4). MACS V4.5 is mainly used in the chemical industry, primarily in conjunction with SM hardware; I have not heard of it being used with FM hardware. The latest AT system. Strictly speaking, this is not a software system; it is merely a change in the kernel version of a lower-level programming software. The new AT system is better than AutoThink. The kernel is modeled after Codesys, but it was developed independently by Hollyland. Use SM hardware. It will be rolled out to NM hardware platforms in the future. The higher-tier monitoring still works in conjunction with MACS V6. I’ve talked so much; I wonder if everyone is getting confused. Anyway, I’m a bit dizzy.

The introduction upstairs was very detailed. . . .

It was explained very clearly; now I understand it, and I have a pretty comprehensive understanding of it. Thank you so much, Old Joe. I can’t add any more points today, so I can’t give you any more wealth.

The introduction on the 2nd floor was very useful; thank you
