Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for maintaining a manufacturing system according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Field devices are often used in automation and process control technology, which determine a process variable in a process flow.
- Field devices for flow, level, differential pressure, temperature determination etc. are generally known. They are used to record the corresponding process variables mass or volume flow, fill level, pressure, temperature etc.
- the field devices each generate measurement signals that are a measure of the recorded process variable.
- some or all of the field devices are connected to a control room or a control system.
- the measurement signals are forwarded to the control room or the control system. Normally, the entire process control takes place from the control room or from the control system, where the various measurement signals of the different field devices are evaluated and, based on the evaluation, control signals for further field devices (actuators), e.g. B. valves are generated, which then control the process flow.
- actuators e.g. B. valves
- the signal transmission between field device and control room or control system takes place z. B. via a current loop or a data bus according to the known standards (Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus, CAN bus).
- the field devices are part of a manufacturing system, the management of which is very complex. Information on the manufacturing plant or the components or the field devices is created from the first day of planning. This information mainly relates to the design, layout, procurement, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance, i.e. the entire life cycle.
- Maintenance is an essential cost factor of a manufacturing plant. Various information is required for maintenance, some of which is only available to the user or the manufacturer of the field device.
- the manufacturer creates a maintenance plan for a manufacturing plant, he usually lacks the necessary information about the field devices used and if he has this information, how critical they are for the production process.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method for maintaining a manufacturing system which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above and which is particularly simple and inexpensive to carry out.
- the essential idea of the invention is to electronically record the field devices in a manufacturer's database with a manufacturer-specific identification and manufacturer-specific information in a production plant and to electronically record the field devices in a customer database with a customer-specific identification and customer-specific information and to query the database for maintenance criteria using both Databases.
- the manufacturer-specific identification takes place via the serial number of the field device.
- the customer-specific identification takes place via the tag number of the field device.
- the maintenance criteria also include replacement and preventive maintenance.
- a maintenance plan is created after the database query.
- the maintenance plan is stored in a maintenance database and each individual item of the maintenance plan is confirmed or modified by the customer before being saved. This enables a higher customer-specific adaptability of the maintenance plan.
- the manufacturer database also includes field devices from other manufacturers (third-party devices).
- the manufacturer database can e.g. be completed by parts from internet databases.
- the costs of the maintenance plan are of major interest to the user. For this reason, the time required for the maintenance of individual field devices is stored in the manufacturer's database and the expected costs of the maintenance work that are incurred on the basis of the maintenance plan created are calculated on the basis of this information.
- the effort of the maintenance work already carried out is documented in the customer database, so that a target / actual cost comparison can be output for the maintenance plan.
- Figure 1 manufacturing plant with several field devices and a manufacturer database and a customer database.
- the manufacturing system shown in Figure 1 shows a control system L, which is connected via a data bus D to several field devices F1, F2 and F3.
- the field devices F1 to F3 it can be, for. B. act as a pressure meter, temperature meter or flow meter.
- the control system L communicates with the respective field device via a data bus. B. F1.
- data can be transmitted between the field device F1 and the control system L.
- Data communication via the fieldbus takes place via the corresponding international standards such as B. Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus or CAN bus.
- the field devices F1 to F3 are electronically recorded in a manufacturer database HG / DB with a manufacturer-specific code and manufacturer-specific data.
- the data include at least the information necessary for maintenance. Such information arises during design, layout, procurement, installation, commissioning, during operation and during maintenance.
- the manufacturer database HG / DB generally includes not only the field devices F1, F2, F3 installed at the customer's site, but also other, possibly all field devices from the product range of the field device manufacturer.
- the customer database IB / DB In a further database, the customer database IB / DB, all field devices F1, F2, F3 are stored with a customer-specific code and customer-specific information. Both databases HG / DB and IB / DB are connected to a computer unit R, with the aid of which database queries are possible ,
- the method for maintaining a manufacturing plant with several field devices that are connected to a control system via a data bus comprises the following method steps.
- This information includes at least the information relevant for maintenance.
- a list of the field devices F1, F2, F3 can be generated via a data bus request.
- the specific requirements for the availability of the individual field devices are also stored in the customer database IB / DB.
- an electronic database request based on maintenance criteria is made via both databases HG / DB and IB / DB together.
- the maintenance criteria include corrective maintenance (-e-corrective- maintenance), replacement (-e-migration) or preventive maintenance (preventive maintenance).
- the result of the database query is a maintenance plan.
- the maintenance schedule gives e.g. which field devices need to be serviced or replaced soon
- the maintenance schedule is saved in a maintenance database. Before saving the maintenance plan, the customer can confirm or change every single point in the maintenance plan. This allows the maintenance schedule to be adapted to customer-specific requirements.
- the time required for the maintenance of the individual field devices F1, F2, F3 is stored in the manufacturer database HG / DB.
- manufacturer database HG / DB receives spare parts information and that the database query specifies the optimal spare parts and consumables inventory for the selected maintenance strategy.
- a maintenance plan adapted to the changed inventory can automatically be z. B. be communicated via the Internet for a fee.
- the maintenance plan is the control file for an asset management system.
- Another advantage is that replacement devices must be compatible with the field devices originally used. If a certain field device works according to the Profibus protocol V2, then it can only be easily replaced by an identical field device that works according to the V2 protocol. This must be taken into account when migrating.
- DTMs can also be stored in the manufacturer's database HG-DB.
- DTMs are "device drivers" for field devices.
- For more information on DTMs for example from the FDT / DTM interface specification Profibus Guideline - Order No. 2,162 as of November 2000, to be obtained from the PROFIBUS User Organization eV, Düsseldorf (www.profibus.com), the content of which is specifically referred to.
