Reliability in Every Friction, Power in Every Impact

Channels for processing signals serve to pass the Input/Output signals from the physical IOs back and forth to the rest of the system. One part of its responsibilities is to configure the physical IO hardware. Various sets of configuration parameters can be involved here. The essential part is to pre-process and convey the processing signals to the other parts of the system.

So, the set of responsibilities includes:

• Manage and configure the hardware parts for obtaining and providing the processing signals
• Provide I/O channel status information of the assigned processing signal channels
• Provide information for the User Interfaces, etc.

This system component offers a summary of events and alarms occurring throughout the regulated process, overseeing significant value changes in the controlled system and alerting the operator to critical events; an event denotes a shift or occurrence in monitored data, and when human intervention is necessary, an alarm is triggered to prompt corrective actions. The Event logging facility typically monitors and records diverse system events and initiates alarms for events that need attention from the operator.

The main tasks of the Event logging facility include:

• Create events when certain conditions are met
• Store the events and alarms in the database.
• Activate alarms for predefined events
• Provide the User Interface overview of the events and alarms from the database

In the industry, there are typically some outdated pieces of software and hardware.

In this case, the goal was to unify various components from different vendors, using only one programming language, instead of multiple. This way, the outdated component gets modernized, and it can be easily integrated into future systems.

During the development phases, a typical solution provider has to establish complex flows for development, integration, and testing. We aim to improve these processes continuously.

We offer our experiences/expertise through the best practices that we previously used.
