Project description
Engineering of Networked Monitoring and Control Systems
The first objective of the project is plant-wide application of asset management. It lifts the focus from single-component diagnostics to a plant-wide view of both asset performance and asset condition. Secondly, because di-agnostics need to result in actions, diagnostic information (asset information) is used to generate control actions. Control refers to all levels of the automation pyramid, i.e. production control, plant maintenance, as well as field level control. A third and necessary objective is to achieve and maintain this in a modular and efficient way.The starting point for plant-wide diagnosis is the collection, harmonisation and aggregation of the available com-ponent diagnoses in order to be able to realise a plant-wide approach. One essential aspect in this work is the inte-gration of both condition information and performance assessment.A decision support system will also be developed that maps plant information, together with constraints and re-quirements, in order to generate and propose plant actions that satisfy production and other requirements.Implementation of these concepts can only be done using modern software architecture in accordance with avail-able standards (modeling, interfaces). One important basic principle will be the ease of use. Large-scale applica-tions require simple, standardized solutions for sustainable operation.The project fits in well with the ICT call because a modern production plant is a highly complex and inter-connected entity. The concepts developed in the project will, in a straightforward manner, be applicable to other industries, and also to the site level once the plant level solution is in place.The second important point is that the project extends diagnostics from a purely passive to an active approach con-trolling the entire plant. Control in this instance refers to much more than the classical automatic control of field devices, and includes the operation and maintenance of the plant itself.
