Schneider Unveils Ethernet Architecture Solution

August 11, 2011 - Schneider Electric, a global energy efficiency management specialist, successfully held the 2011 PlantStruxureTM Ethernet Architecture Solution Launch Conference and launched a grand solution to the PlantStruxureTM Ethernet architecture for the Chinese market. As an important part of Schneider Electric's PlantStruxureTM collaborative automation control system architecture, the PlantStruxureTM Ethernet architecture solution with ModiconTM QuantumPAC as the control core can effectively solve the challenges of process automation and energy efficiency management and enterprise system integration, with both cost and standardization advantages. An industrial Ethernet-based energy-efficiency management platform covering the entire plant can help each industrial user optimize return on investment (ROI) and return on assets (ROA) to meet customer needs including design, operation, maintenance, and optimization and upgrade. Needs.

The ModiconTM Quantum control platform is the control core of Schneider Electric's PlantStruxureTM collaborative automation control system. The Quantum Ethernet IO solution (QEIO), the integrated solution of the PlantStruxureTM Ethernet architecture announced this time, centers on the ModiconTM QuantumPAC product and uses Industrial Ethernet as the center. Backbone, and connect the Quantum local rack to a remote I/O drop. It is based on a tested, validated, and archived architecture that creates a platform environment for customers to achieve process control from plant-wide to energy efficiency management. Qu Shuwen, general manager of the end-user sales department of Schneider Electric Industrial, said at the press conference: “The modern industry needs a highly collaborative automation platform and a system solution that integrates hardware and software to cope with the highly changing market. In this environment, customers demand higher system flexibility, superior performance, and more reliable control. The solutions provided by Schneider's Ethernet-based I/O network will undoubtedly meet these needs of users. Schneider Electric is the most important one of many important improvements planned for the Quantum platform based on customer needs.”

Schneider Electric QEIO solutions can help users simply and easily upgrade the I/O architecture, achieve better system performance, and maximize operational flexibility. At the same time, QEIO solutions can also ensure high process availability and improve key issues in most of today's industrial control systems—data flow issues. The QEIO solution ensures the determinism of network operation through Quality of Service (QoS) features, which greatly improves the performance of large I/O systems compared to most proprietary RIO buses. With the OPC server, the communication capabilities between the SCADA system and the ModiconTM QuantumPAC have been greatly improved, and the data transfer rate has increased 12 times compared to the traditional solution. Thanks to the flexibility of Ethernet, the QEIO solution breaks the limitations of traditional proprietary network topologies, and the I/O load capacity of each I/O drop is increased by a factor of six. Based on faster data transfer rate, QEIO can provide users with shorter system response time and higher operational reliability.

With Schneider Electric QEIO solutions, the network architecture can be smoothly optimized at each stage of the upgrade. As applications continue to evolve, QEIO can adapt to its lifecycle needs without major changes. Its flexibility allows users to easily add sensors, actuators, and other devices without changing the field wiring. Combining the support of global Ethernet standard Ethernet/IP, expert technology of Modicon? and the synergy of PlantStruxure?, QEIO provides users with a superior solution that can flexibly cope with challenges of the future process industry.

As a key component of Schneider Electric's EcoStruxureTM energy efficiency management platform, the PlantStruxureTM Collaborative Automation Control System integrates a flexible hardware platform and rich function software. Based on a tested, validated and documented architecture, it can be created for customers across the entire plant. Achieve a platform environment from process control to energy efficiency management. The EcoStruxureTM energy management platform currently covers five major business areas—electricity, data center, process and machinery equipment, building control, and security. With an open and flexible technology architecture, customers can achieve up to 30% energy efficiency improvements.

The conference attracted a total of nearly 100 industry professionals. At the press conference, IMS Mins Management Consulting Co., Ltd., a well-known consulting firm from the United Kingdom, gave a speech titled “The Research Report on the Status Quo and Prospects of Industrial Ethernet Market”, expounded from market trends, macroeconomic policies, and customer recognition. Industrial Ethernet as an analysis of the mainstream development direction in the future. The conference also featured product architecture display and live experience sessions. At the same time, a microblog wall live broadcast window was set up throughout the conference to enhance the audience's sense of participation and interaction.
