Anthone DCS Distributed Control System

The DCS distributed control system composed of Anthone smart instruments plus a host computer features centralized management and distributed control. Control and data acquisition are performed by the lower-level units, while the host computer monitors the entire process in real time, records and prints historical data. Because distributed control is adopted, a host computer failure does not affect the lower-level units, and a fault in one lower-level unit does not spread to others, greatly reducing the probability of system collapse caused by a local fault. As today's PCs are inexpensive and storage space is virtually unlimited, the cost performance is very high.
In multi-unit communication, the Anthone DCS system adopts the RS485 communication standard, with a maximum communication distance of 1KM. A single communication line can connect up to 128 A-series smart instruments, making system configuration simple. The host computer software is written in VB and runs on the WINDOWS95/98/2000 operating system. At present, its main functions include real-time monitoring of the entire system as well as printing historical record curves, providing a basis for analyzing the process and adjusting or modifying process parameters. If the host PC is placed on your office desk, a few mouse clicks will give you a complete picture of the entire control process.
The Anthone DCS provides a real-time manual operator function, i.e. the output of the lower-level units can be controlled directly with the mouse.
The Anthone DCS adopts an open architecture, and users can develop their own application software using the communication protocol provided by our company.
