1 Changing the setup of a Factory Talk Directory Daði Benediktson Skúli Björn Jónsson

2 Factory talk directory From startup to running smelter ALCOA Fjarðaál

3 Topics Description of the system before change (FT setup, network ) Why change the setup ( Startup phase of the factory versus running factory, users demands) What options did we look at Our choice ( One FT directory with 9 areas, each with Data, HMI and FTAE servers) Server redundancy Implementation of selected solution to a running smelter Experience.

7 One facility 9 directories Time to do some change? User demands User demands sharing information across a facility. User demands on access HMI client applications outside of the plant. IT demands Reducing the hardware required Improving reliability Improving redundancy Simplify the administration of the system Use of virtual environment if possible

User demands on access HMI client applications outside of the plant.

8 Recomendations FTView Studio 6.1 Directory Server Factory Talk Directory FactoryTalk Directory on its own server. Can be removed from the system. Hot redundant server pair Hot redundant server pair

9 Recommended tested limits FTView Studio 6.1 FactoryTalk View 5 hot redundant server pairs per FTD. Multiple areas can be on one FT directory. For redundancy only one Area per server. 1 HMI server per area 1 Data server per area tags on scan per hmi server

10 Recommended tested limits FTView Studio 6.1 FactoryTalk Alarm & Events Alarm limit that can be displayed per FTAE server is 2,000. Alarm limit per FTAE server is 10,000. Alarm limit per FT directory is 20,000. The maximum number of alarm clients connected to an alarm server is 20. The referenced limit of FTAE servers is 2 per FT directory.

2,000. Alarm limit per FTAE server is 10,000. Alarm limit per FT directory is 20,000.

11 Recommended tested limits FTView Studio 6.1 Terminal / ViewPoint Servers Terminal services / ViewPoint servers can only communicate to 1 FTD

12 Options Two directories Hot redundant Easier to upgrade (patches) Not optimal for information sharing Need extra hardware for terminal server and View point server One directory Harder to control the backup Optimal for information sharing Optimal solution terminal server No alarm synchronization Not hot redundant Harder to upgrade

One directory Harder to control the backup Optimal for information sharing Optimal

13 The design one FT Directory Existing nine directory's changes to nine areas in one Factory Talk Doman Hard limits: 1 Area per server. 1 HMI server per area 1 Data server per area Directory Server FTView SE Clients Data storage Pi node Hot redundant server pairs One Area HMI Server Data Servers FTAE Server Terminal server Use of virtual environment: Two servers per server hardware

1 HMI server per area 1 Data server per area Directory Server FTView SE Clients Data storage Pi

14 Redundancy and use of Virtual environment Directory Server FTView SE Clients Data storage Pi node Terminal server Pri Sec Hot redundant server pairs One Area HMI Server Data Servers FTAE Server

15 Implementation to a running smelter

16 The result Can open client applications from different areas in same client Easy access to all areas through one terminal server Redundant SCADA servers in different areas Better administration of the system Access to all areas from same workstation Hardware reduced using virtual environment We exceeded the recommedations limits without experiencing any lack of performance. Supported system FTView 7.1 from Rockwell
