2.2. CONFIGURATION 2.2.1. Presentation

The subject of this chapter is database and mimic configuration. The chapter describes the actions to be performed and the sequencing required to preserve consistency between the CENTRALOG database and mimics.

The CENTRALOG database The CENTRALOG real time database is created in two phases : Database configuration consisting in the creation of files describing the database (OU files) and in managing the archives of these files and those of the data input tool, Database administration enabling the real time database to be managed from these OU descriptor files.

CENTRALOG TRAINING Cl02-A/08-98 Presentation of CCC function

Folio 10

CENTRALOG mimics The mimic views are closely linked to the database by virtue of the mimic animation requirement. The mimic database (BVI) is constructed from the database descriptor files, known as the application variable database (BVA), in two phases : Mimic configuration grouping the operations necessary for the creation of a version of the mimics which are being developed, Mimic administration consisting in the management of mimic view versions and the loading of these views on the operator stations. Each of these four phases is associated to a button in the Configuration zone on the VDU screen.

2.3. EXPLOITATION 2.3.1. Starting and stopping the system Normally, system start-up is global, ie. all of the stations on the system (CIS and operator stations) are started. However it is also possible to start a station individually, for example after a maintenance operation. 2.3.1.1. Starting and stopping the CIS The CIS is started and stopped by means of dialogue from the CCC function. Starting the CIS alone (without restarting the operator stations) causes the views that were visible on the operator station CRTs before the CIS was stopped to be re-displayed. As a Centralog 10 configuration includes only one station (CIS/operator station), the operational mode is the same as the one described below for the CIS.

CENTRALOG TRAINING Cl02-A/08-98 Presentation of CCC function

Folio 14

2.3.1.2. CIS Start-up Modes

Depending on the choice of the operator, the CIS is started with either total or partial re-initialization of data. This choice is selected from the CCC "Stations Admin" menu:
MSNV Stations Admin Stop Exploitation Miscella Centralog Admin. CCC

Facilities

In the event of start-up with total initialization, any modifications made by the operator are canceled and historical records (curves etc.) are erased. In the event of start-up with partial initialization, this data is conserved.

CENTRALOG TRAINING Cl02-A/08-98 Presentation of CCC function

Folio 16

2.3.1.3. CIS start-up with Total Initialization

This type of start-up is used when the CENTRALOG system is put into service for the first time or after changing the real-time database (RTDB) version. The start-up procedure involves:
D

downloading the software,

downloading the entire RTDB,

the full initialization of all data.

The database is thus loaded from the CCC disk onto the CIS exactly as it has been generated.
D

The status of all the variables and Operative Units is re-initialized as ''on-monitoring",

Assignment of the direct call keys is also re-initialized.

etc.

Only files containing logs archived before the shut-down are conserved.

CENTRALOG TRAINING Cl02-A/08-98 Presentation of CCC function

Folio 17

2.3.1.4. CIS start-up with Partial Initialization The start-up procedure is similar to that described above. However certain data produced before the CIS was stopped is conserved. This type of start-up can only be used if the RTDB version has not been changed since the CIS was stopped. In this type of start-up, the RTDB cannot be wholly reloaded, and certain data may not be re-initialized. The following data stored on disk is recovered after a partial initialization:

operator modifications regarding the status of variables (setting on/off monitoring, replacement of value, inhibition) or their thresholds,

operator modifications regarding the status of Operative Units,

operator modifications regarding the status disturbance groups (setting on/off monitoring),

of

operator modifications regarding the status of SOE groups (setting on/off monitoring),

the value attributed by the operator to analysis variables (TMO),

CENTRALOG TRAINING Cl02-A/08-98 Presentation of CCC function

Folio 18

operator actions on the composition of variable groups (curve groups, operator groups).

historical curve groups records,

historical records of the shift, daily and monthly logs (in particular the monthly log counters) at hourly intervals,

hourly values of long term TMIs, (these variables are saved every hour),

files containing archived logs,

assignment of the direct call keys.

table of values of schedules and associated curves

The shift, daily, weekly and monthly maintenance logs corresponding to the period prior to shut-down are closed and archived when the system restarts (if they have been declared as archivable during configuration). They can therefore be printed out on request by the operator. The subsequent printout of the shift, daily and weekly logs will contain data recorded from the time the system was restarted.

2.3.2. Installing a NEW VERSION CENTRALOG 30 or 50 with a dual CIS configuration offers the possibility of changing the software or the database version without stopping the operation.

With one CENTRALOG version in normal operation, the procedure for installing the new version (MSNV) is performed in three steps (the procedure is entirely controlled from the CCC) :

STEP 1 : SWITCH TO SHARED MODE During the system configuration phase, the stations are divided into two groups forming two separate architectures capable of functioning independently of each other. Such a separation obviously requires a redundant architecture. When the new software or database version is available on the CCC, one of the two groups is stopped. The new version is loaded onto the group which is stopped and the group is then restarted.

STEP 3 : RETURN TO NORMAL MODE The operator can return to normal mode in one of two ways, depending on whether the new version is satisfactory or not:
D

either the new version is extended to the whole CENTRALOG system, in order to continue operation with the new version (the CIS and operator stations on the group running the old version are stopped and restarted),

the group running the new version return to the old version (the CIS and operator stations on the group running the new version are stopped and restarted).

Return to normal mode is performed without interrupting operation of the system.

2.4. MAINTENANCE 2.4.1. General principles

Information relative to the state of the system is transmitted on two levels ;

D

to the operator stations in the control room, enabling the operators to call in maintenance teams.

to the CCC function, in order to assist the maintenance staff in diagnosing the origin of the fault.

CENTRALOG TRAINING Cl02-A/08-98 Presentation of CCC function

Folio 24

2.4.2. System views and variables

The CENTRALOG system functions which monitor hardware and software components automatically produce state changes in the logical variables associated to faults. These TSS logical variables (System Telesignals described in the Volume "Data Description and Management") are processed like the other logical variables and can therefore, depending on customization, trigger alarms and/or be recorded in the various logs. These variables are also used to animate a mimic view representing the different components of the system and their respective states. This view can be consulted on the operator stations in the same way as the process supervision mimics (refer to the Volume "Supervision Functions").

2.4.3. System messages and the CCC function Signaling messages are transmitted to the CCC function from the CIS and the operator stations. These signaling messages are of two types:

Signaling messages are stored in order of arrival at the station dedicated to the CCC function in a circular file, containing up to 1024 messages). Messages are displayed one-by-one on arrival in one of the windows of the CCC. Printer output and consultation functions (order of arrival display of each message), enable messages received by the circular file to be sorted chronologically or by criteria (filters). These functions are implemented by interactive dialogue on the CCC station:
