The IDE allows several different projects be developed and managed simultaneously, so we could:

1） Develop projects of other stations on the same computer;

2） Develop more than one projects at the same time, and realize object reuse and resource sharing among projects.



§1.2 Safety Management

KingSCADA 3.0 adopts a classification and zonal double protection strategy. Every operable element in the application system can be appointed a specific protection level (999 is the maximum) and security zone (there are at most 64), including tags and hot key script. Designers can also specify operational priority (999 is the maximum) of operators and working security zones (there are at most 64). When the system is running, if the priority of the operator is less than the access priority of operable element, or the working security zone is not within the security zone of operable element, the operable element cannot be accessed or operated.

§1.3 Recipe Management

In manufacturing area, recipe is used to describe the proportional relation between different ingredients used to make a product; it is defined as a collection of preset values of parameters corresponding to different tags in the course of production. KingSCADA 3.0 can define up to 256 recipes. Each recipe supports 999 kinds of ingredients to the most. KingSCADA 3.0 offers comprehensive recipe management for projects which need a recipe.

§1.4 Resource Management

Frequently used graphs, strings, icons, files and so on in a project may be defined as resources and then added to the corresponding library in KingSCADA 3.0. Users are allowed to add, delete or edit these resources.

The introduction of resources is good to reuse of these objects so as to reduce the workload. For example, if an image file is added into image library, it can easily be reused in the graphic objects；at the same time, the image file will be copied to the project’s directory automatically, so it can be called correctly when open this project on other computers.

§1.5 Engineering International

KingSCADA3.0 allows a project switch among multi-language environment. We can select the languages supported by the current project in the development environment, and then manually translate the resources into appropriate language. In the runtime environment, the project can converse between the languages supported.



We can select multiple languages in the “language” item of KingSCADA3.0’s TouchExplorer. Users can add/delete a certain language at pleasure or set a certain language as the current language of the project.

Resource translation means translating the resources of a project to the mentioned programming languages .It consists of:

String resources translation

Chapter 3 Model Reuse Technology

§3.1 The Advantage of Model

KingSCADA 3.0 introduces the concept of model, which transforms the configuration development into model development and allow users make unified data and graphic conveniently. The perfect combination of graphic model with data model improves the reuse degree and decreases the workload of development greatly, so as to reduce development cost.

§3.2 Data Model

3.2.1 The Concept of Data Model

For a project with several instruments, each instrument has 50 parameters; and each parameter needs to set security property, alarm property and storage property, as well as edit control logic and control algorithm. So we can describe an instrument as a data model. Then in actual projects, instantiate the data model to produce actual instrument object, which owns the same property and algorithm as data model. Therefore, we can avoid a lot repeated work.

Data model simulates the data part of actual industrial equipments. It is a combination of variables and script algorithm. By instantiating the data model, that is, configure the relevant parameters, users can quickly apply these data and scripts to a project.

3.2.2The Development Process of Data Model

Data model definition dialog box is shown in the following figure:



Figure 3.1 Data model definition dialog box

Step1: Define parameters of data model

Parameters of data model are mainly used in the definition of a data model tag, whose property may directly link a certain parameter, or include several parameters. So when instantiate a data model to a data object, the tag’s property will be changed by modifying parameters’ value. Parameters play a role of macro replacement.

Figure 3.2 Parameter definition dialog box of data model

Step2: Define data model tags

Just as tags in a project, data model tags refer to tags defined in data model. We can also set their property. We can build a relationship between data model’s property and parameters. Once be linked, property changes with the change of parameter value.



Figure 3.3 Data model variable definition dialog box

Step3: Edit data model scripts

Data model scripts refer to control logic and algorithm written in data model. The scripts type supported by data model include:

Data change scripts

Event scripts

Timer scripts

Custom function scripts

3.2.3 Data Model Instantiation

After defined a data model, it must be instantiated in order to realize its functions. The result of data model instantiation is data object, that is to say, the process of define a data object can be considered as the process of instantiating a data model. One or more data objects can be generated from data model, so data model can be reused.

3.2.3 Application of Data Models

Data objects can be used anywhere in a project just as project tags. The form of data objects likes:

the name of data object.tag name

3.2.4 Transmission of Data Models

When the data model is revised, the modifications will be immediately transferred into the generated data objects.



§3.3 Graphic Model

3.3.1 The Concept of Graphic Model

In the course of developing a project, we will encounter lots of similar equipments, i.e. equipments have the same appearance, parameters, operations and so on, especially in a complex project. To avoid repeated work, we can see it as a model, and then instantiate the model so as to use it in corresponding pictures.

Graphic models simulate the actual equipments such as boilers and motors. It combines graphic display, animation link, safety setup, control logic and control algorithm to form a graphic model. By instantiating the graphic model, that is, configure the relevant parameters, users can quickly apply these graphic display and animation effects to a project.

3.3.2 The Process of Making a Graphic Model

The basic units of graphic model are symbols, including basic symbols, combo symbols, wizard symbols, controls and extend symbols etc. Graphic model shares the same development environment with symbol wizard, and the development process are almost the same too. The only difference is that graphic model has the character of transmission, i.e. the change of a graphic model can be transferred to the corresponding graphic model objects.

3.3.2 Graphic Model Instantiation

After created, a graphic model can be instantiated to an object. To instantiate an object is actually to use graphic models in graphic development system. In the case of a frequently used valve, all you need to do is to build an valve model and import it if necessary.

§3.4 Model Library

KingSCADA 3.0 provides a powerful model development platform to help you make project model. The characteristic of project model transfer allow you use the project model develop by yourself in different projects. KingSCADA 3.0 has its own model too.

Model library can be divided into project model library and system model library.

Project model library: Only models in project model library can be used



in a project.

System model library: It’s the model library defined by KingSCADA 3.0. It exists in system directory and is independent of project. Models in this library can not be used directly, but must be imported into project model library.

Figure 3.5 Graphic Model Library

Chapter 7 Flexible Network Structure and Multi-Redundancy Measures

7.1 Scalable Three-layer Network

Architecture

KingSCADA 3.0 deploys flexible distributed network architecture, scalable network structure, can be applied in different kinds of occasions, no matter simple project or network with of hundreds of nodes, hundreds of IOs or millions of IOs.

KingSCADA 3.0 has flexible three-layer network architecture: data acquisition layer, application, application service layer and data display layer as the bottom layer. Each of them do their own business and has no effect to the other twos. With these property, system efficiency was improved greatly and stability was guarantied. Its characteristic includes:

Each server is totally independent, and do assigned work separately. The advantage is the entire network can still work while a single server disconnected, or current network structure can work normally when server number increases with points number, and system workload was dispersed.

In the flexible network structure, server assignment can based on



device’s physical structure or different functions. User could set specific real-time data server, alarming server, historical data server, etc. so the requests can be assigned equably to make the distribution more balanced when multi-clients querying or saving data at the same time.

IO acquisition server can allocate real-time dada, alarming data and historical data on the same computer, or on different computer according to project needs.

Fig 7.1 Flexible three-layer network infrastructure can assign IOServer, A&E, History, Client on the same computer, or different computer

7.2 Rich Multi-Redundancy Functions

KingSCADA 3.0 redesigned the redundancy strategy and make great improvement over the past edition. Various redundant measures can be made on improved system, and data synchronization includes real-time data, alarm data and historical data can be realized on redundant server, which ensure high degree data integrity, and no-interference switch between redundant servers can be realized when error happens.

7.2.1 Flexible Redundant Program

KingSCADA 3.0 support multi-data center network mode: web server, SQL server, alarm/event server, industry database server, real-time data server and historical database server, all these server can be redundant, applications can be deployed in the same computer or different sites to alleviate the data processing workload in single center.



To strength the data security of the system, user can make redundancy for various kinds of data, can redundancy real-time server to ensure no real-data will be lost, can redundancy data acquisition (IOServer) to avoid any collection failure.

Fig 7.2 Redundant structure demo, real-time data, alarm data, historical data can make redundancy, and IOServer can make n+1 redundancy, applications can be deployed on the same computer or different sites.

7.2.2 Quick Redundancy Switch

To ensure real-time, efficient switch and reduce abnormal switch caused by network instability, KingSCADA 3.0 adds redundancy status detected channel, which can ensure system status can be detected rapidly and timely by configuring a dedicated card or dedicated serial port, and make quick switch between host and redundant.

Fig 7.3 Quick Redundancy switch, add redundancy status detect channel

7.3.3 Redundancy Ensure Data Integrity

In large-scale projects, data loss is inevitable because of the huge point



number or system overload.

KingSCADA 3.0 can not only perform quick no-interference switch to make real-data redundancy, but also backup and recover alarm data and historical data to ensure data integrity of real-time data, alarm data and historical data, and IOServer can make n+1 redundancy as well, all the above properties provide powerful protection for the system data integrity.

What’s more, KingSCADA 3.0 adopts stream buffer technology to handle data storage buffering to alleviate the network load when communication failed or network slow, so you can easily get higher performance

7.3.4 IOServer Redundancy

IOServer provides three kinds of redundancy methods: double-link redundancy, double device redundancy, N+1 acquisition redundancy.

IOServer redundancy provides several switch modes which can be configured on your own need.

IOServer also provides data buffering to avoid data loss.

Chapter 8 Portal, Platform of Information

8.1 Two Kinds of WEB Publish Methods

KingSCADA 3.0 retain web release function based on TCP/IP in traditional KindView software, which integrates web function and software system together. When data need to be released, you just need to enter the server address into the IE address bar before browsing released information. With these functions, engineer just need to do simple operation following the instruction to generate HTML documents and released them to the screen without master programming skills.

KingSCADA 3.0 using portal technology creatively to achieve data agent function in a separate module. Project creation, configuration, plot and management can be done through the browser.

User can not only use browser to monitor and control field project, but also can release the real-time graphic to internet through Portal to enable remote client in device maintaining or debugging. Once error happens or timely revise needed, maintenance personnel could take corresponding adjustment no matter wherever he locates. Portal makes maintenance work timely, efficiently, and reduces maintain cost greatly.



Portal provides enterprise a platform for information, which is helpful to enhance the core competitiveness
