ControlCare - Field-based Control System

ControlCare P View is part of Endress+Hauser's ControlCare field-based control system (FCS).

ControlCare is a combination of software and hardware components based on open standards, the purpose of which is to connect Endress+Hauser devices to process control, operating and maintenance systems. It provides quick and easy system integration and ensures that the benefits of fieldbus technology are available at all levels of the control hierachy. ControlCare components can be used to supplement a third-party system, or be used as a control system within its own right.

Application

ControlCare P View is a powerful PC-based visualization program that operates via OPC servers with HART^®, Modbus, PROFIBUS^®, FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ and many other industrial communication protocols. It supports standalone application, client-server operation and Web Access.

Together with FieldCare, the Endress+Hauser Plant Asset Management Tool, which can easily be integrated into your visualization, you are able to configure and adjust any device parameter. This optional software can be invoked directly from the Graphical User Interface.

Function & system design

Function

P View is a powerful SCADA software that operates as an OPC client. By using this interface the software works

with all available communication protocols, e.g. FOUNDATION FieldbusTM, HART®, Modbus, PROFIBUS®. In

addition, it offers a connection to most of the PLC and DCS systems on the market.

P View supports stand-alone applications, client-server architecture, Web Server and redundancy for the

configuration of your special needs.

Endress+Hauser offers P View with a number of stand-alone OPC Client Applications:

P View Graph for graphics
P View Trend for data collection and trending
P View Alarm for alarming

Each client application is an ActiveX container featuring Internet/intranet-ready object technology and offering Microsoft's Visual Basic^® for Applications (VBA) technology. Endress+Hauser client applications communicate directly with an OPC server, which in turn communicates with the hardware devices in the field.

P View is a suite comprising software components that provide a complete solution for HMI/SCADA software applications. In addition to the three main modules above, a several other software modules are available as add-on options.

System architecture

The system comprises a PC which, depending on the options chosen, is connected to the network backbone via a network card or an appropriate interface card. The network is built up using direct connections to devices, linking devices to fieldbus segments or remote I/O to conventional 4...20 mA or HART^® devices. P View clients and Web Clients can be installed at different locations via Ethernet. An optional modem connection allows

remote operation and diagnosis.

Additional operating stations

P View allows additional operating stations (clients) to be connected to the central monitoring station (server). Client-server connections are done via Ethernet. There are two types of client available, fat and lean, whereby it is possible to have both in the monitoring system. The clients have to be purchased together with P View basic package. A later extension of P View is possible.

P View Client
Client stations are connected via Ethernet. They give direct access to the server station and there is no limitation on the number of I/Os nor on the functionality. Clients work with a subset of the P View software but without local OPC data.
Web Client
As P View has an integrated Web Server connections can be made via Internet Explorer from anywhere in the world to the application running on the server station. The connection can be protected with firewalls and other security mechanisms. There is no special software needed on the client side. The standard internet tools offer the functionality required on the P View server. Only VBA script has to be transformed in VB scripts to run on the Internet.

Modules & functionality

One Development
Tool PC screens, Pocket PCs, operating systems such as Microsoft®Windows® 2000, XP, Server 2003, CE and Web Browser are supported from a single development tool.
OPC-to-the-Core
P View supports industrial standards such as OPC Data Access, OPC Alarm & Events and OPC Historical Data Access. Just one mouse click and you can see your data.
WebHMI
P View offers integrated Web capabilities for e.g. remote monitoring and diagnosis. The Web Server and one Web Client are integrated in the basic P View package. If you need additional Web Clients or other network architectures Endress+Hauser will be pleased to offer a solution.
Language Server
P View supports different languages. They can be switched on the screen or even changed according to the user profile of your operator. The language you select will be used for the visualization as well for the trend and alarm windows and their headlines.
User Management
P View User Management administers different user groups, fulfilling the high level of regulation required by FDA 21 CFR11 electronic signature and EU 178 traceability directives. Audit Trail, forced logins and limited access to the visualization are available in each P View system. The WebAccess of P View uses the same high level User Management.
Multimedia Alarming
P View sends e-mails, SMSs, faxes, marquees, phone calls, text to speech, instant messaging when an alarm appears in your plant. The scheduler allows you to inform the operator, the department or the complete company as required. Shifts can also be managed.

Hardware requirements

Please note:

Specific hardware requirements depend on the size and complexity of your ControlCare P View

implementation. With any application, faster CPU speeds and increased physical memory (RAM)

result in better performance.

ControlCare P View supports dual-core and hyper-threaded systems.

The actual amount of space required may decrease if help and example files are not installed.

Requirements for logging data, alarms and screen storage are above this minimum. Virtual

memory requires at least twice the amount of the physical RAM.

The hardware requirements described below are based on typical applications. Depending on your

specific application, the minimum requirements may vary. In order to recommend specific system

requirements, we must break the systems up into three categories based on tag count and running

applications. In all systems we recommend that the virtual memory allotment be two times the

amount of physical memory (RAM) on the system.

For the systems below, we are assuming that the OPC server(s) are installed locally on the system

and that the following Endress+Hauser components are all running and using the tag count

specified per classification: Alarm Server, Alarm Logger, Trend Logger, and Graph with Alarm

Viewer and Trend Viewer.

Hardware/Software component	Less than 500 tags*	500 - 3000 tags	More than 3000 tags
Processor CPU	1.0 GHz	2.0 GHz	3.0 GHz
Physical Memory (RAM)	512 MB	1.0 GB	2.0 GB
Hard Disk space available	2.0 GB	4.0 GB	10.0 GB
DVD optical drive
SVGA Video Card	256 or more colors for best results
A mouse or other compatible pointing device
Microsoft^®-compatible keyboard
Microsoft^® Internet Explorer^® 6.0 or higher
Ethernet adapter	optional, for remote PC connections or Ethernet I/O
3.5-inch floppy drive	optional, for license transfer
Parallel printer port	optional, for hardware license
USB port	optional, for hardware license or license transfer
Serial COM ports or other adapters	optional, for data I/O
