Description

DESCRIPTION AN AUTOMATION SYSTEM DEVELOPED FOR THE PURPOSE OF REALIZING AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES This invention relates to an automation system that has been developed for the purpose of ensuring automatic operation and control of the process sequence of industrial processes without significant human intervention, which uses hardware and software electrical-electronic and information-processing technologies, thus achieving performances far superior to manual control, and which can be used in all industrial facilities, especially in many industrial areas that need automation such as power generation facilities, electrical networks, chemical facilities, oil and gas industries, environmental control systems, food processing facilities, water management systems, metallurgical facilities, pharmaceutical industry, transportation industry. KNOWN STATE OF THE TECHNOLOGY In recent years, developments in the information technology sector, as in many other areas, have led to the rapid development of automation systems technologies. Automatic control systems have become indispensable components of today's industrial applications. The application of programmable controller-based automation systems to industrial facilities, in parallel with the development of microprocessor technology, has provided numerous benefits such as process-oriented control, monitoring and effective control of numerous parameters, reduced costs, increased quality, efficiency, operator safety, and production levels, overall optimization, and ease of operation and maintenance. In our country, many facilities in the manufacturing sector are currently operated with relay-contact systems. Replacing the control systems in these facilities with modern systems will provide significant benefits in terms of efficiency and profitability. On the other hand; Because digital control systems have a limited economic lifespan and these technologies are rapidly changing and evolving, facilities equipped with these systems must be periodically rehabilitated with up-to-date digital control systems. Past experience shows that outsourced automation systems come with numerous disadvantages. These include very high costs and excessive reliance on external sources, negatively impacting our country's foreign trade balance, rapid technological advances leading to the purchase of a system becoming obsolete within a few years, and, in some cases, the termination of technical support before the system reaches its lifespan, and even the closure or other dissolution of the supplier selling the system. These problems include: being purchased by a company, forcing consumers to purchase a new system when the system needs to be upgraded, which can be very costly; excessive hardware dependence on purchased software; inability to address cybersecurity concerns due to closed communication protocols and software for which the source code is not provided; high-demand expansion; and the inability of existing systems to quickly meet certain high-tech features that have become available due to rapid advancements in information technology. To eliminate all of these drawbacks, a new and unique automation system has been developed. Almost all of the automation systems used in the world fall into the following three different classes: PLC-based systems, DCS systems, and, in some cases, PC-based systems, also called PAC and hybrid systems. PLC-Based Systems, also known as PLCs or programmable logic controllers (PLCs), are controllers designed for industrial environments that can be programmed to operate specific equipment, systems, or processes. PLCs are essentially hardware-based systems. Designed to process information received from sensors via input/output modules, PLCs generate output signals to control actuators, motors, etc., based on programmed logic rules or control algorithms. Unlike a typical computer, a PLC operates programming languages developed solely for automation. PLCs are generally preferred when there are few input/output (T/O) and few control requirements. While it offers some advantages, such as robustness, reliability, longevity, easy integration, and fast response time, it also has some disadvantages, such as excessive dependence on the PLC manufacturer and its high cost. PLC products are available from different companies in different countries around the world. Almost every developed industrial country has its own PLC company. PLCs can be used not for large-scale facility control, but for control of smaller subcomponents within facilities. DCS-Based Systems, derived from the English initials of the words "Distributed Control System," are, as the name suggests, specially designed automatic control systems consisting of control elements distributed throughout the production facility. They can provide control and monitoring of distributed subsystems within a large facility. The control components of a DCS are interconnected via communication networks. DCSs are preferred when multiple inputs/outputs, multiple control stations communicating with each other, integration of the control system with information systems, a high level of redundancy, complex processes, and plant expansion potential are important considerations. While DCS systems can perform many more functions than PLCs, they are difficult to install, complex, and expensive. A small number of developed countries worldwide, such as the USA, Germany, France, and Japan, manufacture DCSs. Each of the few DCS systems available on the global market has both similar and distinct features. PC-Based Systems: PC-based systems can be programmed under well-known operating systems such as Windows or Linux and can perform the same control functions as PLCs and DCSs. Among the advantages of PC-based systems are: Its advantages include not being tied to any specific hardware platform, not being manufacturer-dependent, faster communication between the control program and remote/local input/output stations, less expensive control systems, and the ability to use well-known programming platforms. A variant of PC-based systems that has become widespread in recent years is the "Programmable Automation Controller," or PAC, which is created by combining one or more PC-based devices with PLCs. These systems can be used to control one or more subsystems. While PACs include PLC capabilities, their hardware architecture and software are designed to be more user-friendly for the IT/computer programmer. PACs allow the addition of features not found in standard PLCs, such as multi-core processors, multiple processor modules per cabinet, the use of different programming languages and Ethernet communication infrastructures, and the creation of distributed control structures, to the control system. Our inventive Automation System falls into the PC-based automation system category and differs significantly from its commercial counterparts in terms of technical specifications, performance requirements, functionality, operating conditions, robustness requirements, modularity, and communication protocols. These differences are listed below: o Our Automation System offers much faster, more practical, and easier implementation than existing commercial systems on the market. o In our inventive hardware, emphasis is placed on galvanic isolation and protection, path thicknesses are calculated and drawn according to current carrying capacity, and measures to prevent electromagnetic noise have been incorporated into the design. Therefore, the inventive hardware offers at least as much robustness and reliability as its counterparts on the market, or even greater. Care was taken to ensure that the circuit elements on our inventive hardware cards were easily accessible, as well as the overall proper placement of circuit elements and traces. Furthermore, the affordability and manufacturability of all hardware products were also among the features considered. o The inventive hardware modules feature hot-swappable functionality. A faulty card can be replaced without stopping, shutting down, or restarting the system. Furthermore, a new card can be easily added to the system. o The inventive hardware modules feature a broken cable detection feature. The cards are equipped with a cable break alarm circuit. This feature distinguishes the inventive hardware from its counterparts on the market. - Our inventive Automation System was developed using entirely open-source database systems. This makes the system more secure and significantly reduces costs. The open-source Firebird database system was chosen as the primary database for the software, and additional data archives can be created using open-source or free databases (Firebird, SQLServer, Postgres, and CSV). Our inventive Industrial Automation System utilizes entirely open-source user controls. This makes the system more secure and eliminates the possibility of security backdoors, whether intentionally or through a vulnerability, that could allow eavesdropping and tampering with the system. o The inventive Industrial Automation System has a much richer library of audiovisual user controls than other automation systems. End users can customize these controls, which also address the cultural habits of our country. Our invention offers a library of thousands of vector-based industrial shapes for the use of designers for creating user interfaces. Since our invention is a PC-based system, it is not tied to any hardware platform and does not impose any dependency on the manufacturer. It enables faster communication between the control program and the equipment using conventional protocols and the creation of a more cost-effective control system. Since it is used, it is possible to easily add all the advanced application libraries provided by the Microsoft infrastructure to the automation system platform. This feature enables the use of well-known, widespread programming platforms at no additional cost. End users can easily add their own software tools to the system using widely used programming languages. The generated software is used in the automation system. NET platform, it can be put into use very quickly. . Our inventive system; NET platform has been used to develop tens of thousands of applications since 2002, and it brings its proven, reliable platform feature to the automation system infrastructure. o The inventive software uses a multi-threaded programming model. In this programming model, while a piece of code performs an operation, another piece of code can be run in parallel. This model allows multiple pieces of code to run simultaneously, thus providing the opportunity to use the computer's central processor resources more efficiently. Simultaneously processing threads help the software run faster. 0 The inventive software uses an HTML server. It can present data as JSON, XML, HTML tables, and graphics. With the help of our invention, end users can easily transfer data without any additional investment using software they will develop. With the help of the automation system that is the subject of the invention, the automation systems used in industrial facilities in our country have been designed with domestic resources. The control and automation systems of facilities lacking automation and SCADA infrastructure in our country have been implemented with domestic resources, and the dependency on external resources, which is often excessively costly in automation system components, has been reduced. This system, developed with domestic resources as opposed to foreign automation systems that operate with very high profit margins in our country, has features that will reduce the high costs incurred in our country for automation systems to levels between one tenth and one percent. This savings opportunity has been achieved thanks to the original design implemented entirely with domestic engineering. This system is within the scope of. The developed hardware incorporates the most up-to-date and modern HDC processors, while the software incorporates the most modern software technologies. Both the hardware and software components are uniquely designed and are designed to be easily updated in line with the advancements in electrical, electronic, and information technologies. The developed system provides a more secure structure against potential external cyberattacks targeting industrial facilities. The automation system, whose source code and cybersecurity design were entirely domestically developed, has largely contained all software-related cybersecurity vulnerabilities. In parallel with the development of microprocessor technology, the implementation of programmable controller-based automation systems in industrial facilities has yielded numerous benefits, including process-oriented control, the monitoring and effective control of numerous parameters, remote control, overall optimization, and ease of operation and maintenance. Thanks to this newly developed automation system, our country's engineering capacity in this field has been enhanced, and the first steps have been taken toward establishing national standards for automation systems and ensuring that systems developed by internal resources are used as standard components in industrial facilities.

DESCRIPTION OF THE HARDWARE OF THE INVENTION The subject of the invention, "An Automation System Developed for the Purpose of Realizing the Automatic Control of Industrial Facilities", is basically composed of the hardwares of the EOS Analog Input Card (1), EOS Analog Output Card (2), EOS Digital Input Card (3), EOS Digital Output Card (4), EOS Communication Card (5), EOS Power Supply Card (6) and EOS Bus Card (7). Because our invention is an Industrial Automation System, it incorporates not only the hardware listed above but also the programs that function alongside it. For a better understanding of our invention, these programs will be highlighted in this document, and their operating principles will be explained. The software components of our invention can be identified under the headings EOS Engineering Software, EOS Controller Runtime, EOS Hardware Configuration Software, and EOS SCADA Software. As mentioned above, our invention consists of an integrated combination of various elements: EOS hardware, control computers, SCADA software, engineering software, controller software, network infrastructure for data communication, communication protocols, databases, and cybersecurity infrastructure. The EOS Analog Input Card (1) is an electronic module designed to convert voltage and current values generated by sensors into digital values that can be stored and processed on a computer. An analog input is a continuous input from the field to an automation system. An industrial facility contains numerous sensors that measure quantities such as temperature and pressure and convert them into electrical voltage. These currents and voltages can be easily converted to digital values with the EOS Analog Input Cards (1) and then transferred to a computer for automation purposes. This value can be stored in a database, transferred to another location, or used to control an industrial process. Commonly used analog signals are the 4-Z0mA signal and the 0-1OVdc signal. Depending on field conditions, the input signal can vary between 4-20mA or 0-1OVdc. For example, if water pressure flowing through a pipe is being monitored using a pressure transmitter in the 0-10 bar range, the transmitter will output a signal between 0 and 10V proportional to the pipe pressure. Designed as a four-channel, 16-bit module, it allows for measuring analog current and voltage values from the field. Each channel is isolated from each other with an isolation level of 1500V. The CPU side is isolated from the channels with a digital isolator with a 2500V isolation level. It includes features for cable break, under-limit, and over-limit diagnostics that can be activated by the CPU. The module cycle time is 7 microseconds (us). It has configurable input levels. The channels exchange data with the CPU using serial communication logic. The EOS Analog Output Card (2) is an electronic module that converts digital values from a computer into a variable voltage level at an output terminal. These cards can provide a continuous voltage output from EOS automation equipment to field devices for control purposes. For example, if a variable-frequency drive is present among the field devices and a speed reference signal is desired, the analog output of the EOS Analog Output Card (2) can be used for this purpose. Furthermore, if a value measured using the analog input is desired to be displayed on an analog meter, the analog output can also be used for this purpose. This module, consisting of four 16-bit channels each, was developed to provide the analog current and voltage values necessary for controlling field equipment, as shown in the figures. Each channel is isolated from the other channels with a 1500V isolation level. The CPU side is isolated from the other channels with a digital isolator with a 2500V isolation level. It includes open-circuit and short-circuit diagnostics that can be activated by the CPU. Current and voltage outputs can be used without requiring any wiring changes. The module cycle time is 8 microseconds (us). It has configurable output levels. The channels exchange data with the CPU using serial communication logic. EOS Digital Input Card (3) The EOS Digital Input Card (3) Module is used to set digital inputs to 0 or 1, ON or OFF, applied to automation systems. Digital inputs are essentially voltages that vary between two different values depending on the type of card used. Simply put, any button, switch, or sensor generates digital inputs for the automation system. Digital inputs are used to control the status of any device, whether ON or OFF. This digital input module, designed to input digital values from the field into the control system, is designed with 16 channels. The CPU side is isolated from the field with a digital isolator with a ZSOOV isolation level. It features a cable break detection feature that can be activated from the CPU. There are two Fast Counter inputs, CH1 and CH2, and two AB Encoder inputs, CH3-CH5, CH4-CH6. The module cycle time is 8 microseconds (us). The logic 0 and logic 1 values of the channels are hardware adjustable. The EOS Digital Output Card (4) module is the digital outputs of the automation system, 0 or 1, ON or OFF. In other words, these are processed control outputs that transmit the results processed and calculated by the automation system's algorithms to the field. It is used to turn any field equipment ON or OFF. A digital output is similar to a relay's contact, with the contacts closed when pre-programmed conditions are met. Digital outputs can be used to operate solenoid valves, relays, indicator lamps, or as commands for other devices. The digital output module, which controls digitally controlled units in the field using signals received from the CPU, has 16 digital output channels. 31 CPU sides are isolated from the field by a digital isolator with a 2500V isolation level. It has cable break and overcurrent diagnostics that can be activated by the CPU. It also has four pulse width modulation (PWM) features. The module cycle time is 10 microseconds (us). The EOS communication card (5) is designed to facilitate data exchange between the module's IO cards. Cards at the hardware layer communicate with the communication board via the RS485 data line. Cards exchange 48 bytes of data, and each read and write operation is verified with a 32-bit CRC. The EOS communication module, designed to facilitate data exchange between the CPU and 10 cards, is shown in Figure. Its onboard 25W power supply provides the power required for one hardware shelf. It contains all the circuit components that perform data exchange between the Media Access Controller (MAC) within the microcontroller (MCU) and the physical Ethernet layer according to the Media Independent Interface Standard (RMII). It operates at 100 Mbps with a 50 MHz clock signal. The module cycle time is 16 microseconds (us). EOS Power Supply Board (6), the EOS Power Supply Board Unit (PSU), converts AC power from the mains into low-voltage regulated DC power for the internal components of the automation system. The power supply board (6) module consists of a power input connector, which receives power from the mains in the form of electrical current, and a power output connector, which supplies current to the load. This module, which includes a total SOW power supply, is shown in Figure. The same design can also be used with a 25W power supply if required. The CPU side is isolated from the channels by a digital isolator with a ZSOOV isolation level. The module cycle time is 2 microseconds (us). The EOS Bus Board (7) module provides a communication medium that enables data transfer between components within the automation system. The bus card encompasses all relevant hardware components, including communication protocols, cables, and similar components, as well as related software. We've already discussed the primary hardware of our invention, and at this stage, we'd like to discuss the software it utilizes. Controller Software: A set of controller software is needed to implement automatic facility control with EOS hardware. This software must not only implement automation algorithms for facility control, but also communicate with secondary hardware and act as a bridge between SCADA software and the hardware. Controller software is also crucial for enabling end users to easily configure the algorithms running on it, monitor the algorithms the controller is running, and configure EOS hardware. The EOS controller software listed below serves the functions listed above. EOS Engineering Software: This program creates the algorithms necessary for industrial facilities to be controlled by the Automation System in question. The algorithms created by the engineering software verify that information from all sensors, such as temperature, pressure, voltage, flow, and so on, meets the required requirements. Plant control is achieved through logic gates operated by the Controller Runtime software, using information from the EOS Analog Input Card (1), EOS Analog Output Card (2), EOS Digital Input Card (3), and EOS Digital Output Card (4). The algorithms used for industrial facility control are created in the form of a function block flow diagram. Designed to be simple and understandable, the algorithms, compared to DCS and other methods used in advanced PLCs, offer a more practical and visual structure than Ladder and STL. The compilation feature allows user-generated errors in the program to be detected and automatically corrected. EOS Controller Runtime: This controller software interprets algorithm command lists generated by the engineering software and sends signals to the EOS Analog Input Card (1), EOS Analog Output Card (2), EOS Digital Input Card (3), and EOS Digital Output Card (4) to control the facility. It can simultaneously communicate with the Engineering Software, Configuration Software, and SCADA software. The Controller runs on industrial PCs. The runtime is designed to be independent of the plant's power plant. Controller Runtimes, which operate differently on a unit-by-unit basis, communicate with each other through services. Because they process the command list sequentially, they can be easily adapted to redundant systems. Multiple communication protocols, including Q Service, Modbus, SQL, and Text, have been added to the Controller Runtime software to enable communication with other programs and systems. Improvements to the Controller Runtime software have significantly shortened command processing cycle times. EOS Hardware Configuration Software: This software was developed to configure cards produced for the EOS system. It can operate simultaneously with the Controller Runtime software to make plant-specific adjustments. Set values set by the configuration software are read by the Runtime software, enabling the execution of plant-specific operations. The configuration software automatically recognizes EOS cards and allows the operator to monitor them in real time. The software scans all electronic cards in milliseconds to detect any communication or electronic malfunctions. Online hardware monitoring facilitates the detection of card and channel malfunctions. In addition to malfunctions, active channels and live input/output information can be monitored. PWM adjustments for sensors such as positioners and tachometers on digital channels, and 4-20mA and 0-10V adjustments, offset, and calibration settings on analog channels can be easily made using the configuration software. EOS Scada Software: EOS Scada software is a software package consisting of components developed to meet critical plant automation functions, such as creating human-machine interface screens for plant control, using these interfaces for plant control, archiving data in an organized manner, and providing easy access to archived data throughout the plant. The EOS Scada software package includes the following subcomponents: EOS Scada Editor, EOS Scada Runtime, EOS Data Explorer, and EOS Historian/Data Logger. Each of these subcomponents is explained below. EOS Scada Editor: The Editor was developed to design the SCADA system required for a facility to be controlled by the EOS automation system. A typical SCADA system consists of a device list, data list, virtual data, alarm list, alarm types, alarm groups, alarm levels, system alarm definitions, screen designs, data archives, personnel list, and authorization definitions. The Editor, with its advanced visual features, allows all definitions required for the SCADA system to be entered, stored, and edited using a project database, and designs can be further developed over time. A rich user control object library allows for the creation of impressive visual and audio designs, and parametrized settings for control objects can be easily modified. The Editor: It offers thousands of industrial shapes in vector format to SCADA designers, allowing them to use the shapes they create. The editor software allows working with multiple projects simultaneously, and each project's information can be organized in separate folders. The editor software allows for quick switching between projects. Data simulation features allow for quick testing of created designs using the editor. Functions such as cut, paste, move, delete, undo, redo, grid structure, and alignment simplify screen visual design. It can also store and recall screen design information, create instant design snapshots, and return to any snapshot. It allows for the creation of libraries from groups of generated visual elements, the creation of block modules from these visual elements, and the rapid access and use of these modules during screen design. Its general and project library features allow for the transfer of visual components both within and between projects. Numerous useful tools have been added to the Editor design to simplify the work of SCADA designers. EOS Scada Runtime: The Runtime was developed to monitor and control the facility using definitions created by the Editor. Data communication can be achieved with various devices, primarily EOS hardware, using common protocols such as MODBUS and OPC, using device drivers. It can monitor collected data on screens enhanced with rich visual and audio features, archive data, and assist in retrieving archived data. In addition to monitoring alarms and events, it can communicate the necessary warning mechanisms to facility operation personnel using visual and audio elements. It can archive occurring alarms and events and provide operators with quick access to these archives. With its 4-level authorization infrastructure (Monitoring, Operations, Engineering, and Super User), it enables operation personnel to perform operations according to their authorization and helps archive all commands given to the facility by operation personnel. It facilitates shift changes in shift systems with the help of the dual sign-on feature. The runtime software; it can publish data collected from hardware in widely used formats such as MODBUS, JSON and XML with the help of embedded servers, thus offering easy integration into software that will be created by the plant personnel in the future. The runtime software is equipped with many additional features to facilitate the work of the plant operation personnel. EOS Historian/Data Logger: It is an EOS Scada subsoftware that collects data from a data source and enables them to be archived on any computer other than the SCADA computer. While it can read data from the SCADA Runtime program, it can also read data from any device that supports widely used protocols such as MODBUS and OPC. There is no limitation, other than the communication protocol, on the number of devices that can be used to read data. 37 Historian/Data Logger software; It can archive the collected real-time data to databases such as Firebird, SQLServer, Postgres, and CSV. EOS Data Explorer: This EOS Scada sub-software allows end users to access archived data from any computer connected to the SCADA network. It makes archived data understandable to end users, enables the creation of comparative graphs, and can export data as CSV and graphs in popular formats such as JPEG, GIF, BMP, and PNG, as well as perform data analysis. In this section, we will discuss the operating system of our invention. As mentioned above, the invention operates by utilizing multiple hardware structures through software. For a better understanding of the operating system, a diagram illustrating the invention's operating logic is shown in Figure 23. This diagram will provide a clearer understanding of the invention's operation. Level 1 contains the hardware described in detail above, while the EOS Analog Input Card (1), EOS Analog Output Card (2), EOS Digital Input Card (3), and EOS Digital Output Card (4) are connected to the field hardware on Level 0 via cables. The cards on the hardware layer communicate with the EOS communication card (5) via an RS485 data link. The cards exchange 48 bytes of data, and each read and write operation is verified with a 32-bit CRC. Level 2 contains the Controller Runtime software running on the control computer. This level is supported by engineering software that creates the algorithms necessary for plant control and a tool for system configuration. The engineering software provides the creation of the algorithms necessary for control in the form of a function block flow diagram. The compiled control algorithm is loaded onto the Level 2 control computer, which enables real-time controller calculations and plant control to be performed through the control software. The highest level, Level 3, contains SCADA software, which acts as a bridge between operators and the automation system in question. This software allows plant operators to perform functions such as monitoring plant information, controlling the plant, visualizing and archiving alarms and events, changing controller setpoints, storing data, and easily accessing data archives using 30 graphical interfaces. Level O, also known as the cybersecurity Field layer, not shown in this figure, includes sensors and actuators. Field devices such as sensors and actuators are the lowest level of the automation hierarchy. Sensors monitor changes related to plant operation such as production, current, pressure, temperature and motion detection. Sensors convert real-time parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow, level, etc. into electrical signals. Sensors are connected to the EOS Analog Input Card (1), EOS Analog Output Card (2), EOS Digital Input Card (3), and EOS Digital Output Cards (4). The Industrial Automation System, the subject of the invention, collects field-related information from sensors with the help of the EOS Analog Input Card (1) and EOS Digital Input Cards (3). Actuators, also located in the field layer, are switches, relays, DC motors, servo motors, solenoid valves, pneumatic actuators that the automation system can perform control activities. or motorized valves. Actuators convert electrical signals into mechanical actions to control processes. The Industrial Automation System, the subject of the invention, sends control information to the actuators with the help of the EOS Analog Output Card (2) and Digital Output Cards (4). The EOS Analog Input Card (1) and the EOS Digital Input Cards (3) transfer the information collected from the sensors to the communication card (5) via the RS485 data line and through this card to the industrial computer running the EOS Controller Runtime software. The EOS Controller Runtime software runs the algorithm created for plant automation. The Controller Runtime software scans the EOS hardware inputs, processes the algorithm lines one by one using the information it collects, and transmits the results produced with the help of the algorithms to the EOS Analog Output Card (2) and Digital Output Cards (4). The controller runtime software collects sensor information from input cards, processes the algorithm lines one by one and sends the results to the actuators with the help of EOS Analog Output Card (2) and Digital Output Cards (4). The operating principle of the EOS Controller Runtime software is based on the continuous repetition of the following steps: - Data is read from EOS Analog Input Card (1), EOS Analog Output Card (2), EOS Digital Input Card (3), EOS Digital Output Cards (4). o Reference values are obtained by reading the data list generated by the EOS Engineering Software. 0 The algorithm command list generated by the EOS Engineering Software is read and processed from the first line. 0 Data from different industrial devices that need to be used in logic gates are read simultaneously using the methods is called. - The logic gate used in the algorithm is operated virtually using all available data. 0 The obtained results are stored for use in subsequent steps. o While the operations are in progress, incoming SCADA commands and engineering software force values are stored for processing in the next cycle. o The calculated values are sent to the EOS Analog Input Card (1), EOS Analog Output Card (2), EOS Digital Input Card (3), and EOS Digital Output Cards (4). 0 All lines and logic circuits are repeated until all operations are completed. 0 All results are shared with the SCADA and Engineering Software via a server. 0 To repeat all operations, the cycle begins. The EOS Controller Runtime can simultaneously share the calculated data with many different programs and other controller software, in accordance with the capacity of the industrial device it runs on. All these Operations are completed in a very short time, approximately 30-35 milliseconds, using an 1800-line algorithm.
