2. Core functional features

High order process control capability: support predictive control algorithm (MPC), predict the change trend of process variables based on historical data and real-time parameters, and adjust control commands in advance. It is applicable to industrial processes with strong hysteresis (such as temperature control of large distillation tower). The control accuracy is improved by more than 30% compared with traditional PID, and the parameter fluctuation range is reduced to ± 0.2%.

Multi variable coordinated control: It can achieve linkage control of 8 input variables and 4 output variables. For example, in the coordinated control of thermal power units, parameters such as boiler steam pressure, turbine generator load, and water supply are synchronously collected, and the feed pump speed and fuel supply are dynamically adjusted through coordination algorithms to ensure stable operation of the unit under optimal conditions.

Fault self diagnosis and fault tolerance: It has dual diagnostic functions at the hardware level (processor, AD/DA conversion circuit) and software level (algorithm execution, communication link), and fault information is uploaded in real time to the system monitoring station through the communication bus; Support "soft redundancy" configuration (2 control boards as backups for each other), with a primary backup switching time of ≤ 50ms, to avoid control interruptions caused by single point failures.

Interface Expansion Flexibility: The board has 2 expansion interfaces, which can be externally connected to ABB dedicated signal conditioning modules (such as 3ASC25H204 isolation module) and digital expansion boards (such as DIO1616). After expansion, it can support up to 32 AI, 16 AO, 48 DI, and 24 DO channels, adapting to the multi signal acquisition needs of complex industrial sites.

Auxiliary equipment

ABB PROFIBUS DP bus connector (3RK1901-1BB00), redundant power module (PM861K01-R), system monitoring software (ABB Operator Workplace)

2. Collaborative application case with DSDO 131 and AC 800M controllers: boiler feedwater control for thermal power units

System architecture: It is necessary to achieve precise control of boiler feedwater flow, involving 3 steam pressure AI signals, 2 feedwater flow AI signals, and 1 steam drum water level AI signal. The control output includes 2 feedwater pump frequency converter AO signals, 1 feedwater valve DO signal, and 1 alarm DO signal.

Connection logic:

After the pressure transmitter, flow sensor, and water level sensor signals are transferred through the DSTF610 terminal unit, they are connected to the AI interface of the DAPC100 control board; The control board communicates with the AC 800M controller (PM864K01) through the PROFIBUS DP bus to obtain the set load value of the unit;

DAPC100 runs the "cascade PID+feedforward" control algorithm: with the steam drum water level as the outer loop control objective and the feedwater flow rate as the inner loop feedback, combined with the unit load feedforward signal, outputs a 4-20mA signal to the frequency converter (adjusts the speed of the feedwater pump);

When the water supply flow exceeds the limit, the control board triggers the DSDO 131 digital output unit through the DO interface, cuts off the power supply of the water supply valve (emergency valve closure), and outputs an alarm signal to the monitoring station to achieve safety interlock control.

Core advantage: The high-order algorithm of DAPC100 solves the lag problem of boiler feedwater system, and the water level control accuracy reaches ± 5mm (traditional PID control accuracy is ± 15mm); The high load driving capability of DSDO 131 ensures the reliability of emergency valve closing action, which meets the SIL 2 safety requirements of thermal power units.
