Investigate what monitoring systems and operating systems are being used by everyone, as well as their usage patterns: In our chemical industry, we use the Zhejiang University Zhongkong JX300XP control system, with AdvanTrol-Pro (V2.50) as the software; the operating systems for the engineer stations and operation stations are WIN2000SP4. The server uses WIN2000SERVER. The boiler system uses a Siemens PLC S300, with the monitoring software being WINCC 6.0 runtime version. The operating system for the engineer station and operation station is WINXP. The server seems to be WIN2003SERVER. Let’s talk about the issues that arise during use. During the installation of WIN2000, many machines had large hard drives of over 160GB; after installation, only around 130GB was recognized. There were issues with the AHCI drivers, so the system could only be started in IDE mode. Also, the drivers for WIN2000 are incomplete, which can lead to blue screens, and USB keyboards are not easy to use. The advantage is that there is little entertainment content; it’s good for industrial control applications. AdvanTrol-Pro(V2.50) is fairly usable, but the resolution of the flowchart after configuration cannot be scaled; it’s a hassle to have to modify the flowchart whenever a different size of monitor is used. . It seems that the new V2.65 allows zooming; those who know about this please reply. WINXP is easy to use and familiar. It’s because the operators make random changes, and there are also many viruses.
