ABSTRACT:
A distributed processing unit (DPU) or drop which performs process control and data acquisition functions in a distributed processing control system having a data highway linking a plurality of such units. A DPU functional processor accesses the local process I/O interface thereby continually receiving plant information for storage in digital form and subsequent use in the functional processor or for transmission along the data highway. DPU control programs use process values in a transparent fashion, that is without regard to whether these values were obtained through local process I/O interface or via the data highway. The DPU software structure is made up of execution software and support software. The execution software is a collection of data acquisition and process control programs which are developed at an engineer's console drop using a DPU programming language which operates in text and CRT graphic display modes, the latter programming modes allowing system documentation via hard copy graphic display printout. These programs are initiated, performed consecutively, and repeated at specified intervals. The support software initiates process loop execution. Control programs which have been presented to the DPU as representations of ladder diagrams for sequential control or process flow diagrams for continuous process control are executed in the DPU functional processor to achieve the required process control operation.
