The packaging paper plant management sought to implement a comprehensive information system across the human-machine interface/supervisory control and data acquisition (HMI/SCADA) infrastructure to visualize and manage the plant’s operations. The resulting HMI/SCADA system was slated for the entire complex, extending to more than 100 buildings.
“We wanted to build the most advanced, Web-based system we could,” says Lubomir Rulisek, pulp mill manager, Mondi Packaging Paper Štˇetí a.s. “The biggest issue was the number and type of contributing technologies.”
这意味着面临潜在的复杂系统tegration issues. It had to reach into the company’s SAP enterprise resource planning system, plus its OSI PI historian and its Measurex, ABB and Siemens programmable logic controllers. In the background were 18 servers from different computer makers. However, since the equipment was either compliant with the OPC open communication standard or could be harnessed using OPC technologies, management opted for an OPC solution.
Working through integrator Kontron Czech, the resulting system uses a range of applications from Iconics Inc., a Foxboro, Mass., manufacturing software supplier, which are integrated into a single system. In part, the choice was the result of the capability of Iconics software to reduce database duplication and to smooth out the plug-and-play aspects of bringing disparate equipment together. In addition to supplying infrastructure and systems software, Iconics worked in tandem with Kontron and Mondi IT personnel to help bring all the pieces together.
该系统利用九个OPC服务器来处理大型纸复合体的所有段的实时数据。Iconics WebHMI服务器运行Internet信息服务（IIS），将超过150个动态网窗口提供给在标准Internet Explorer Web浏览器上运行的70个WebHMI客户端。Webhmi是Iconics的Genisis32 HMI和SCADA应用程序套件的一部分。该系统使生产，维护和管理人员能够通过900多台个人计算机（PC）查看整个设施中的实时工厂操作。
Under the hood, an Iconics DataWorX32 OPC data exchange system manages the heavy dataflow generated by the plant operations. It acts as a data-collection engine for more than 4,000 real-time OPC tags and more than 5,000 historical ones. An important element that had to be kept in mind in this large project is that several OPC client applications can request the same points from a given OPC server, potentially overloading the server. When multiple clients request data from an OPC server, DataWorX32 aggregates the data to the requesting system to reduce network traffic.

“The key from the personnel point of view was to keep the HMI in the browser,” says Rulisek. “That made much of the interface easy to learn for the end-users, since everything was in the familiar setting of Internet Explorer.”
The system depends on OPC-based coding for data access, historical data, and alarm and events communication, as well as trend visualization and graphic representation for control and monitoring. Because Genesis32 offers a single development tool for workstations, Pocket PCs, mobile devices and terminal servers, the process of building the system was easier than it might have been.
在某种程度上，蒙迪使用该系统来帮助维护和记录对其流程和程序的正式控制。除纸浆外，磨坊综合大楼还制作了牛皮纸，袋子和精美的论文，还持有ISO 9001：2000的认证，这是国际标准化组织的质量管理标准，ISO 14001：2004，环境管理标准和职业标准，健康与安全评估系列（OHSAS）18001：1999。维护这些需要大量的流程和生产记录保存。
Rulisek说：“关键是集成，OPC在这方面确实有所帮助。”
