1. General Description
The EDSplus is a networked PLC system designed to monitor engineered products and to present this
information to the operator in an easy to interpret format. An Allen Bradley ControlLogix PLC located
in the Main Panel performs all of the I/O functions. An Industrial PC (IPC) performs the operator
interface functions. Features of the EDSplus include:

First Out Annunciation - When an alarm occurs, the Title Bar on the Screen will flash red. After
acknowledging the alarm, the operator may view the alarms by pressing the Active Alarm and
Trips button to display the Active Alarms & Trips Screen. These will indicate the time and date
of the alarm, the type of alarm (Hi, HiHi, etc.), the Alarm Group for the Tagname and the
tagname of the parameter. The final item in the alarm window gives the status of the alarm
(i.e. Unacknowledged Alarm, Acknowledged Alarm, or Unacknowledged Return to Normal). A
record of all alarm status’s are kept in an alarm log on the hard disk for thirty days after which
time the oldest alarm log file is overwritten by the current days alarm log. Once the alarms are
acknowledged, they are reset when the parameter returns to normal and the Alarm Clear
button is pressed.

Historical Data Trending/Logging - The software on the IPC reads the data collected by
the PLC (via Ethernet) and if the information has changed by more than the log dead band,
stores the information on the hard disk. This information is stored as trend data that can later
be used to plot historical trend charts. The Historical Trend Screen allows the operator to
trend eight selectable inputs versus time. The historical data files will be kept for thirty days
after which the current log file will overwrite the oldest history log file. This older file can be
down loaded to removable media via the Maintenance Screen. If longer term data storage is
desired, it is recommended that the data be monitored by the DCS via the Host Port and
archived by the plant computer

Real Time Data Trending - Two-minute windows of live data provides the operator a means to trend
up to twelve data points simultaneously. This information can be used to observe relationships
between the monitored points.

Remote Data Access (option) - The EDSplus has the capability of transferring information via modem
to service personnel. The service person can download pertinent historical information and
operating parameters so that the proper corrective action can be prescribed. This will help
provide customers with a quick response to their service needs. The modem may be
permanently connected to a phone line or connected as needed.

Host Computer Communication - All information monitored by the EDSplus is made available to a host
computer via serial communications supporting the MODBUS protocol. In addition, alarm set
points may be changed via this link. Refer to Appendix A for MODBUS interface register
information.

2. Operator Interface
The EDSplus operator interface consists of a 17" XGA color LCD with touchscreen.
The interface is driven by a PC compatible computer running the operator interface software
package. It communicates with the PLCs via an Ethernet connection. The LCD display operates
independently of the control system and provides for first out annunciation, data acquisition, historical
and real-time trending, and remote communications. The screens include:

General Status Screen

Oil System Detail Screen
Header Oil Piping Screen
Wash Oil Piping Screen
Dry Gas Seal Screen
HP Dry Gas Seal Screen
MP Dry Gas Seal Screen
LP Dry Gas Seal Screen
Compressor Details Screen
HP Compressor Details Screen
MP Compressor Details Screen
LP Compressor Details Screen
Antisurge Controller Screen
Motor Bearings Details Screen
Compressor Bearings Details Screen
Gear Bearings Details Screen
Historical Trend Screen
Active Alarms & Trips Screen
Real Time Trend Screens
Alarm History Screen
Current Operating Data Screens

In addition to the above screens are various "windows" that are used to relay further information to
the operator. These "windows" include:

Maintenance Window
Log In Window
Start Permissives Window
Ethernet Communications Failure Window

3. Start-Up Description:
When power is first applied to the panel, various programs are loaded and executed on both the
PLC(s) and the IPC(s) found in the EDSplus. After the initial check out, the LCD will display the
General Status Screen. The other screens can be selected by pressing the button that corresponds
to the screen requested.

4. Acknowledging Alarms & Trips:

Alarm – The alarm action is activated when a monitored parameter has reached an unacceptable but
not critical level of operation. This unacceptable level of operation will be brought to the
attention of the operator for corrective action via the horn, an amber alarm light, and the title
bar on the screen will flash red.
Trip – The trip function is activated by external devices when a monitored parameter has reached a
critical and unsafe level of operation. A trip will also occur when the operator pushes the
Emergency Stop Button located near each unit. The trip function will sound the horn, turn on
the red light and title bar on the screen will flash red.
To acknowledge an alarm, danger or trip, the operator must press the Alarm Acknowledge
button on the Menu. This will silence the horn and the title bar on the screen will stop
flashing and become a steady red color. In the Alarm windows, the text will change from red
to blue to indicate an acknowledged alarm.

Note: If a monitored parameter should momentarily enter an alarm range and return to normal,
the above actions (horn, light) will still occur. The text in the alarm window will be green to
indicate an unacknowledged return to normal. The operator must press the Alarm
Acknowledge button to silence the horn and turn off the light.
A record is kept of when an alarm, danger or trip has occurred, when it was acknowledged,
and when the condition has returned to normal.

25
21. Historical Trend Screen
On the Menu screen is a Historical Trend button which when pressed, will display the Historical
Trend Screen (Figure 23).This screen provides the operator the ablility to trend eight historical data
points versus time. This trend display is located in the center section of the screen. The eight color
lines on the graph represent the output of the corresponding tagname buttons located to the right of
the trend display. Each tagname is represented by the color displayed on the tagname’s respective
button. The tagname button also displays the data point’s value at the start of the trend and data
point’s value at the end of the trend. This is respectively represented by the values displayed on the
left side and right side of the button.

The “Y” axis displays the range of the currently selected data point. The range (0 - 100%) is a
function of each data point’s full-scale output. This permits the simultaneous trending of variables
with widely differing scales (e.g. temperature and pressure). The color of the “Y” axis and hash
marks corresponds to the data point’s range which is currently being displayed. For example, in
Figure 23, the “Y” axis corresponds to 521_XE_1400, which has a scale of 0 – 8,000 RPM. The
operator can view the range for any of the eight data points by pressing the desired tagname button
to the right of the trend display. Alternatively, the operator can, also, toggle through the eight data
point ranges by pressing the “Y” axis until the color of the desired range is displayed.

Figure 23. Historical Trend Screen

26
In order for the operator to change which signals are displayed on the Historical Trend screen, the
operator must first press anywhere inside of the trend display section of the screen. This will cause
Historical Trend Setup window (Figure 24) to be displayed on top of the trend screen.

Figure 24. Historical Trend Setup Window

At this time, the operator can select a particular pen color in order to change its corresponding
tagname. For example, if the operator wants to re-assign pen #3 from the tagname 521_XE_1420 to
some other tagname, the Pen #3 button must first be pressed. This will display the Select Tag
window (Figure 25) on top of the trend screen.

Next, the operator can select the new tagname that they want to correspond with the yellow pen #3
by highlighting the desired tagname and verifying their selection by pressing the OK button. This
new tagname will then appear on the “yellow” tagname button.

27
 Figure 25. Select Tag Window

Just below the trend display are two time positioning bars with the starting trend time on the top bar
and the ending trend time on the bottom bar. The positioning bars may be moved to pinpoint a
specific location on the trend graph (Figure 23 & 26). This can be accomplished by selecting the
cursor keys and “dragging” them across the positioning bars. The top bar corresponds to the left
cursor and the bottom bar corresponds to the right cursor. When finished, release the cursor key.
Alternatively, the and buttons (at opposite ends of the time positioning bars) can be utilized to
move the two time position cursor keys. Once the cursors have been moved to the desired position,
the operator can select the Zoom In button to display the newly selected time frame in detail.
Alternatively, the Zoom In button can also be used to reduce the time scale by one-half of the current
value. This will happen if the Zoom In button is pressed while the time positioning cursors are at the
extreme ends of the trend. Conversely, if the Zoom Out button is selected, then the new time scale
will be double the previous value.

In addition to the time positioning bars, the buttons / indicators on the next two rows may also be
utilized to obtain the desired time scaling for the graph. The operator can choose a desired “panning
time” increment “x”, by selecting the 4 Hours, 1 Hour, 30 Minutes or 10 Minutes button.
Alternatively, the operator can select a custom “panning time” (“x”) up to 10,000 minutes by selecting
the Minutes button. The color of the text within the currently selected “panning time” button shall
turn red to indicate that this is the currently selected “panning time”. Once the “panning time” is
selected, and buttons should be pressed to move the respective start and end trend time
in increments of the “panning time”. Table 2 explains the operation of these buttons / indicators.

23. Real Time Trend Screens
These screens provide the operator the ability to trend up to twelve monitored inputs in real time
(Figure 21). The graph is scaled 0 to 100 percent in order to allow comparisons of inputs with widely
different ranges (e.g. temperature and pressure). The upper left portion of the screen is the trend
display. The color lines represent the output of the tagnames located above the corresponding colors
on the tagname indicators, which are located to the right of the trend display. The current readings
of the tagnames are also displayed within these tagname indicators.

Figure 28. Real Time Trend Screen

Unlike the Historical Trend Screen, the operator cannot change which signals are displayed on the
Real Time Trend Screens. Instead, eleven separate Real Time Trend Screens are utilized, providing
the operator with the ability to monitor the real time behavior of 87 different transmitters. The data on
these screens is divided by equipment groups (Gear Bearing Temperatures, Motor Bearing
Vibrations, etc.).

When the operator selects the Real Time Trend button, the Real Time Trend Selection Screen
(Figure 28) will be displayed.

The operator can then select the appropriate button adjacent to the desired trend screen description.
For example, by pressing T1 the Real Time Trend Screen corresponding with the Motor Bearing and
Stator Temperatures data will be displayed (refer back to Figure 28).

24. Maintenance Screen
On the Menu screen is a Maintenance Screen button which when pressed, will display the
Maintenance Window (Figure 30). The Maintenance window will only be displayed if logged on with
the Maintenance password.

Figure 30. Maintenance Screen

This window provides the operator a means to perform various functions. These functions include:

Restart Modbus Reboots the modbus card in the PLC rack

Close Window Removes Maintenance Window from screen
English Changes the text on the HMI screens to English
Restart Disk Logs Restarts the Disk Logging (History & Alarm)
Set Clock Time & Date adjustment (changes internal clock)
Lamp & Horn Test Performs a three second lamp & horn test
Configure Users Adds users to the system

Historical data file names are made up of the date in which they occurred. The format is
YYMMDD00.lgh where YY is the year, MM is the month, DD is the day, followed by two zeros (00)
and a .lgh extension. If the file is too large to fit on a single 3.5” floppy disk, it is recommended to
burn it to CD-R/RW.
NOTE: It is advisable to only change the clock when the system is initially commissioned.

25. Alarm History Screen
On the Menu screen is an Alarm History button which when pressed, will display the Alarm History
Screen (Figure 31). The Alarm History Screen provides the operator with a history of the alarms that
have occurred and a record of setpoint changes. It maintains a chronological record of when an
alarm has occurred, when it was acknowledged, and when it returned to normal. The layout of the
information is similar to that of the Active Alarms and Trips Screen. The difference between the two
is when the alarm value returns to normal, it is not removed from the Alarm History screen. When the
Alarm History screen becomes full, new alarms are added to the bottom of the list and the oldest
alarm is scrolled off the top of the screen. To view alarms that have scrolled off screen, they can be
accessed using the Up and Down arrow buttons to scroll up and down, respectively. The buttons are
located on the vertical scroll bar on the right side of the screen. The Alarm History can maintain up to
1000 events in memory after which the oldest event is overwritten by the newest entry in a scrolling
buffer.

26. Current Operating Data Screens
These screens display the current operating conditions as they are being monitored by the EDSplus
(Figure 32). These screens are divided by equipment groups (Motor, Gear, etc.). Within each group,
the data is further organized by type of reading (Temperature, Vibration etc.). This information is
continuously updated by the EDSplus and can be used by the operator to fill out shift reports, etc.
Since there is more than one screen’s worth of data, selecting the Screen 2 button will display the
Screen 2 data screen, selecting the Screen 3 button will display the Screen 3 data screen, and
selecting the Screen 4 button will display the Screen 4 data screen. These buttons are located on
the bottom center area of the screen.

27. Ethernet Communication Failure Window
This window appears when the EDSplus detects a fault in the Ethernet communications between the
PLC and HMI computer (Figure 33). If this window appears, the Ethernet fault should be quickly
found and corrected.

28. Accessories
The EDSplus may be supplied with various pieces of equipment used to provide additional capabilities.
This equipment includes:
Removable Media - There is a 3.5" floppy disk with a storage capacity of 1.44
megabytes (MB) and a CD-RW drive. The floppy disk is the A: drive while the CD-RW disk is
the D: drive. They are located in the IPC and are located behind the front door of the unit. The
disk drives are used to download data for storage and/or as a means to provide a software
upgrade. For more information, refer to the description of the Maintenance Screen.

Modem - This device is used to provide a remote location with a means to access historical data on
the EDSplus. This information can be used as an aid in troubleshooting possible problems with the
equipment operation.
