Redundant, Fault-tolerant Network Virtual Fiber Ring

For a single ring, during normal operation, the switch-hub deals

with a logic break. When there is one break, the switch-hub will
close the logic break, so the network is still integral.
Only when there are two breaks, the network is divided into two
isolated parts.

OC 4000 Controller (DPU) Advantages

- Online program immediately changeable would
save considerable time during commissioning and
testing phases.
- Virtual DPU provides quicker delivery and a lower
risk for implementation time through pre-testing
and pre-commissioning without the controller
Simulation
hardware (Simulation)
- Parameter forcing from anywhere on control
logic page. This provides a very powerful tool for
rapid logic testing and commissioning, which is
important in retrofit or upgrade projects.
- TUV SIL3 certified TMR I/O architecture offers the
best availability, compared to other dual I/O
systems.

DCS has limited types of I/O modules to simplify the design of DCS,
to minimize the cost for spares.
Four Common types of I/O modules, which are AI, AO, DI, DO
can meet most requirements.
In AI module, DCS has used the same module along with different
terminal boards to interface with mA, RTD and TC signals.
