The Role of PHD

• The role of PHD is to:

- Integrate all real-time process and process-related data.

- Provide a consistent and common base of process and process-related information to applications.

- Manage the archiving of process data.

- Provide a single controlled interface to DCS and SCADA systems.

- Provide process calculation and trending capabilities.

Intelligent Data Retrieval

• PHD provides application programs with built-in data manipulations and calculations, thus simplifying application development and maintenance.

- Data Reduction Calculations

- Automatic Missing Data Interpolation and Extrapolation

- Automatic Engineering Unit Conversions

10 File Number

Intelligent Data Retrieval : Automatic Engineering Unit Conversions

• When an application program requests data from PHD, it is possible to specify the units it requires.

• PHD converts the units from those stored with the tag into the requested units, eliminating having to build conversion functions into the various user tools and applications.

• A tag can be defined with any unit code, but is convertible by PHD only if it makes use of PHD base units (standard or user-configured).

11 File Number

USC •Built as a Microsoft Management Console add-in. •Makes connection to the PHDStart service which then transfers the communication over to the other PHD services in review. •The functionality provides access to any PHD component system in the environment using either trusted or non-trusted access connections. When trusted the account the user is logged in with to the computer is passed over to the PHD service for connection authentication. When non-trusted the user must enter a user account that can be validated by the remote PHD system.

12 File Number

PCT •While it is based upon Honeywell‟s Common Desktop Framework the tool accesses the SQL Server databases PHDCFG and PHDAPP for storage of any configuration performed. •When installed the default expectation is the person utilizing the tool will be logged on to the local computer with an account that can be authenticated as a member of the Product Administrators or Local Engineers upon the computer where the SQL Server databases are hosted.

RDM

2 HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL File Number

•Redirection Manager (RDM) is required on the PHD Server if the PHD Experion Link is

to connect to a redundant pair of Experion Servers.

•In such a case, the PHD Experion Link is configured to connect to Redirection

Manager instead of the Experion OPC HDA server.

•RDM forwards requests to the active Experion Server of a configured redundant pair.

Redirection occurs whenever a failure is detected in the active Experion Server.

•RDM blocks all OPC calls until after the failover completes or after a user-configured

timeout.

27 File Number


Tag Configuration

28 File Number

PHD Terminology

• Tag

- Point. parameter

- TIC100.PV, TIC100.SP

• Attribute

- Parameter in Source System

• Parent Tag (template)

- Point Class

- Used for simplification of initial configuration and ongoing maintenance through dynamic inheritance.

29 File Number

PHD Tag Definitions

• All PHD Data is referenced by tag name. Tag Ids (numbers) are used internally. Tag Ids cannot be reused.

• History is associated with the Tag Id. (When a tag is deleted from Sql Server, the Tag Id will not be reused.)

• Tag names can be the same as those used on the source system, or they can be different.

• Tag names can include a prefix and/or suffix - Ex. BB.F131.PV

30 File Number

PHD Tag Definitions

• Tags are classified into 5 groups:

- Parent Tags – templates which can be used when creating one of the other four classes of tags.

- Collected Tags – tags which store data collected from PHD interfaces.

- Manual Input Tags – tags which store data that is manually entered by a user.

- Virtual Tags – tags which provide data that is calculated based on collected tag values, manual input tag values and/or other virtual tag values.

- Stored Virtual Tags – tags which provide calculated data based on collected tag values, manual input tag values and/or other virtual tag values. This calculated data is then stored in the history archive.

31 File Number

Class Tags and Inheritance (templates)

• In general terms, class tags should be defined for each set of tags having similar data processing requirements. Many children per parent. No software limit to the number of levels, but Honeywell recommends no more than three; otherwise, it gets too complicated.

32 File Number

Class Tags and Inheritance

• Each tag's definition specifies what tag attributes are inherited from its

parent. The parent class-tag must be specifically defined for a tag.

• A class-tag may in turn inherit values from another class-tag.

• If a class-tag attribute is modified, any tags that inherit the attribute dynamically inherit the change. This permits the system to be configured with a set of intelligent default tag attributes.

• Initial tag definition as well as ongoing tag maintenance is simplified, as behavior of entire classes of tags can be altered by modification of the parent class-tag.

• On a per tag basis, users can override inherited tag definitions for tags that may have unique requirements within a class.

• You can identify Class tags any way you want. Class tags can identify tag types such as temperatures, orifice flows, set points, or tag usage such as optimization tags.

• If the active flag on a parent tag is enabled, it has no impact other than causing the parent tag to be displayed in Tag Explorer under the Parents folder.

33 File Number

Tag Configuration Form

• Following options are available to create various new tags.

34 File Number


• The Tag Configuration form allows you to enter new tags or modify existing tag configuration information.

35 File Number


• Tags can be searched using wild Character „*‟ or using options available in advanced search.

36 File Number


• Enable Flag Pane will provide various following options

Allow Data Store - This enables data

storage to Archive files.

Allow Data Edit – This enables to

modify historied data for the tag.

37 File Number


• Collection Pane provides various options related to RDI‟s & source tags.

RDI/Link Collector – Name of

RDI which is collection values

Source System – This will

provide the name of source

system.

Source Tag Name – The name

of tag in source system

38 File Number


• The Storage Pane allows to optimize data storing function using Compression/Quantum

39 File Number


• The Advanced Configuration is for specifying ways to optimizes data storing functions of PHD.
