Self Describing SHS Update Tracy Dye, ABB CPAC November 9, 2006
Self Describing SHS Update • Acknowledgements: • Kevin Sexton • Lynn Hutchison
Why a Self Describing SHS? • Value proposition • Improved System Reliability and Serviceability • Reduced Capital Costs • Reduced Operational and Maintenance Costs • The specific need for SHS access, control, and visualization
Concept and Methodology Review • Pervasive system vs. component centric design philosophy • System level control, awareness, access resides in a local SHS controller/server w/ IS power and comms • Not all components have to be networked to create a self describing SHS (bar code or RFID) • Every component is described in a device profile and translated to XML schema (component state matrices, port location, schematic symbol, etc.) • Couple w/, control, flow and electrical net lists to create as-built system config file
Self Describing SHS Progress • Much of the effort and focus in 2006 has been on the IS CAN physical layer standard • ABB has developed an XML schema framework for SHS component description is in place • Creation of SHS component device profile standard has been placed within the SP76.51 subcommittee
The Next Steps • Work with SHS component suppliers to create SHS component classes (for example, multivariate data/networked, single signal non-networked, mechanical only) • Gain agreement w/ component suppliers on standard device profile template for all applicable SHS components (including power management/current consumption); work into SP76 • Apply the developed XML schema framework to the component device profiles
Areas of Standardization • Device profile for SHS component data and mechanical makeup • Existing comm and user layer device profiles (IS CAN and Foundation Fieldbus)
Areas of Commercialization • CAD tools for self describing SHS design configuration • SHS diagnostic macros • User layer apps
