Introduction to the printing system and working principle of DCS system

The core of the DCS control system print management system is the print management software, which is installed on an ordinary PC and runs on the WINDOWS platform. To ensure data security, RAID technology is used, and dual hard disks are redundantly operated.

The software is a set of printing information management software developed to improve the printing function of the computer automatic control (DCS) operation station and enhance the information storage, review and copying capabilities. It has the characteristics of strong function, friendly interface and convenient operation.

It can be used to fundamentally avoid the phenomenon of information loss caused by printer failure when using only the printer in the past, and it can also prevent the useful information from being drowned in a large amount of useless information. The printout information of the operator station can be saved to the hard disk in a long-term file format (depending on the capacity of the hard disk and the amount of information printed, for several months or even years), or it can be copied to other storage devices (such as: CD, etc.).

The printing system can automatically identify the alarm record, control operation, statistical report, event trigger report, screen copy and configuration list in the operation station information, and process them separately. It can observe the alarm record, control operation, statistical report, event trigger report, screen copy and configuration list of the operation station in real time, and process it separately; and can observe the alarm record and control of the operation station in real time. Operations and other data and status that require immediate response, as well as easy access to all records that have been received.

You can use the "Offline Print" to selectively print the received information, and you can use "Online Print" to immediately output the print content of the operator station to the printer.

How the printing system works

Printers produced by various printer manufacturers have drivers associated with the WINDOWS operating system. The operating systems of most of the original DCS operating stations are dedicated, and they only have drivers for a few special printers.

Printers commonly used on the market do not have drivers, so they are not connected. In fact, the task of the printing system software is to write the anti-drive software of the WINDOWS operating system, which is to enable the signals from the DCS operating station to be identified in the WINDOOWS environment. Then connect the commonly used printers through the WINDOWS driver.

The printing system software has to identify different data formats, because the printers of the DCS system operating stations that are connected to different models have their own data formats, such as ANSI format, IBM format, etc., before the printing system is connected to the operator station, find out its The data format makes this data format work in the WINDOWS environment.

The printing system software should write anti-drive software in a variety of data formats. In addition, the software for printing graphics and printing text is very different. Printing text only, the software is relatively simple, and the printed graphics are more complicated. For example, using HP printers to print graphics, first find out whether it is a dot matrix format or a page scan format. Most Hp printers are page scan mode. The software can interpret the PCL commands and the printer can print the graphics on the operator station screen. If it is not an HP printer, explain other instructions.

Problems with failing factory relays, connectors/terminals and fuse contacts are also common when excessive load is placed on them.
