2.2.2 System Architecture
The system architecture of MACSV6.5 is divided into two layers from top to bottom, as shown in Figure
below.
■ Enterprise Manufacturing Management Layer
OPS, ES, HIS, switch and others are included in this layer. This layer communicates with the lower layer
through the redundant TCP/IP protocol Ethernet. It displays the processed field data to users and then
transfer users’ operational command to lower layer. The devices including OPS, ES, CMS, HIS, printer, etc.
are connect into a network by two switches, In order to guarantee the communication reliability of the
system, some important devices such as HIS, switch, etc. are redundant configuration.
■ Equipment and Process Control Layer
This layer consists of FCS, I/O modules, etc. FCS communicates with I/O devices through I/O bus. I/O
devices transfer the collected data to MCU. MCU processes the data according to the pre-downloaded
algorithm and transfers the data needing to be displayed to the upper monitoring and control layer. The
instructions from upper layer or FCS are also transferred to the field actuator. Field control layer supports
HART and FF bus protocol through specialized hardware modules.
MACSV6.5 Architecture
The architecture of MACSV6.5 is based on the concept of 'Multi-Domain Management (MDM)’.
□ Definition
Domain is a collection of a set of sites, a solution can contain one or more domains, each domain has a
unique number, a domain that corresponds to an independent project. One domain contains 64 control
stations (10~73), each with a unique number, but the number of stations with the same number in different
fields is allowed. A control station can be located through the field number and the number of stations. A
7
physical computer can add more than one domain, it still has only one number, but with a number of
domain numbers, this computer must be the operator station, the controller does not allow to join multi
domain.
The operator station can receive data from the domain that it joins, and can send commands to this field.
The domain that is not joined does not have this permission. The controller can request data directly from
the controller of another domain, but it is limited to the request data.
□ Advantages of domain structure
The domain is independent of each other, and each domain is self-forming system, which is conducive to
the risk dispersion.
Mutual supervision between the two fields, which constitute a whole, information sharing, communication,
fast and stable.
Different domains can be put into use in batches, the latest addition to the domain can not stop the case,
to build the building blocks of the way seamlessly incorporated.
The whole domain is composed of industrial system, no external system, safe and reliable. Domain
through the gateway to contact with the outside, to prevent the impact of hackers.
□ Partition Domain
A solution can create up to 15 domains, number 0~14.
In the actual production system, the domain is divided into relatively independent subsystems according to
the position, function and the characteristics of the controlled process, and usually each relatively
independent subsystem is divided into a domain. For example, in a thermal power plant, two units share a
common system; the 3 subsystems belong to the 3 domains.
8
Multi-Domain Management
An important function of the domain is to isolate the network traffic, and the real time data on the network
is limited to each domain, and there is not a lot of real-time data packets transmission between different
domains. Domain division is also related to security, network, operating rights and other factors.
□ Mutiple domains
The operator station can receive the real-time data and send instruction of these fields only by adding a
number of domains. Join a number of domain operator stations; although there is only one physical
machine, for each domain to join, he has an independent integrity of the identity of the operator station.
□ Communication between domains
Communication within a single domain, the communication between multiple domains, using tag to tag
unicast. Physically is the connection oriented UDP and TCP connection oriented data packets.
The data in a single domain includes real-time data and control commands. The historical station and the
direct communication operator station cycle to the control station node to transmit real-time data
acquisition command, control station node according to the command to do the corresponding control and
feedback. In addition to the control layer and the control layer of communication, the operator also has a
communication station node communication, mainly in the historical data acquisition station.
The communication between multiple domains usually have two ways: 1 by setting the inter domain
reference variables, to achieve cross domain access point, the advantage of this method is not limited to
the HOLLiAS-MACS V6.5.X version of the software, to realize the communication between different
versions; the deficiency is the communication points required, not exceeding 3000. 2 through the related
settings and configuration to achieve multi domain mutual monitoring, this method is limited to the
requirements of the use of the software version of the industry.

□ Example
Two units of a thermal power plant, for example, Unit1 and Unit2, which share a common system.

Common operator station of the 2 field.
3 10~12
System the two operators can also operate their respective units and the common
system at the same time.
