3 – Global ref. archi.Different functional unit architectures and control room architectures can be proposed andcombined depending on process and project requirement.Control roomReference architectureOverall network architecture:A layered Ethernet network topology is usedbetween the control room and the functionalunit. A separate control room network isolatesthe different communication traffics.FunctionalUnitFunctionalUnitFunctionalUnitCapabilities:Around 5000 I/O and moreFigure 11: Modular automation systemFrom three to ten PACq with around 1000I/OThis architecture targets mid-size processes such as a water plant for 100 000 inhabitants,medium size hydro power installation, cement plant (2000 ton per day), or food and beveragedairy plant.The functional axes associated to this class of architecture include the following:Functional axisInteraction with userData managementEnergy managementSystem categoriesAlarming: hierarchical alarms, time stampingMonitoring and control with multiple clientsReporting (with or without Historian)Batch system (if required)Energy monitoring and controlMotor control with or without Easy iPMCCProcess and equipment controlAdvanced process controlIntelligent instrumentation control and diagnosticsSystem configuration andadministrationDiagnostics (device, application, network)Device managementMaintainability with FDRReliabilitySafety if requiredFirst level of securityTable 4: Functional axes for modular architectureHigh availability if required27© 2012 Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved
