 GENERAL

Exaquantum is a Plant Information Management System (PIMS) product that provides business benets to users

in the Hydrocarbons, Chemicals, Power & Utilities, Pulp & Paper and many other industries. The main function of Exaquantum is the acquisition of data from all facets of a business and the subsequent transformation of that data into easily usable, high-value, widely-distributed information. The data then becomes an integral part of the set of tools used by the business in vital decision-making processes.

Exaquantum supports rapid plant-related deployment, making the software easy to implement within plant-specic

operational environments. This allows information to be structured sensibly around the production calendars and shift patterns in the plant.

Exaquantum is the business intelligent gateway between the operational Process Control System (PCS) and the business Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Using the latest, proven, Microsoft based open technology Exaquantum is designed to provide low administration costs, and be robust to future IT trends.

 Data Processing and Storage

The Exaquantum Real Time Data Base (RTDB) provides tag-based, real-time process data to be utilized in various business application software. The data acquired to the RTDB can be optimized through the following functions:

• Quality Codes Users can judge the validity and reliability of data at a glance. Exaquantum assigns quality codes to data that is transparent to data users. Quality Codes do not count as licensed tags.

• Aggregations

Basic statistical functions (minimum, maximum, mean, standard deviation, summations, di󰀨erential summation and spot value) are calculated and stored using tag values over pre-dened (hour, day, month or user-dened) time

periods. Aggregations do not count as licensed tags.

• Custom Aggregations Users can query for aggregations over custom periods using the Exaquantum Excel Add-In or API.

• Function Block

Users can congure relational complex data processing groups as function blocks allowing easy and repeated use

of data.

• KPI Calculations Users can script simple or complex logic to create raw or aggregated values using calculated tags.

• Exaopc HDA Following an Exaquantum shutdown period, Exaquantum can access Exaopc’s (R2.10 or later) HDA server to retrieve missing process data (allowing aggregated and calculated values to also be generated) and Alarms & Events (A&E). After a LAN interruption, aggregation values can be recalculated Exaquantum can access Exaopc’s (R3.10 or later) HDA server to retrieve missing process data. To enable Exaopc History Catch-up functionality, it is necessary to install Exaopc on a separate server to that used

by Exaquantum. The specication of the Exaopc server must be suitable for History Catch-up to perform properly.

Exaquantum can also be used as a Data Historian to securely store large amounts of process data and Alarms & Events. Its powerful and fast storage and retrieval capabilities means there is virtually no limit to the amount of historical data that can be available online. Automatic archiving and deletion permits older data to be removed from the system, which can be restored later.

 Role Based Name Space (RBNS)

Exaquantum can be congured to provide each user with their own Microsoft Windows group-personalized folder

hierarchy and naming convention view of Exaquantum process data when using the Exaquantum Data Selector within Exaquantum/Explorer, Exaquantum/Web or the Exaquantum Excel Add-In across all Exaquantum servers.

The Exaquantum administrator controls read and write access to Windows dened user groups. Read-only access

allows process data to be viewed on displays by users. Write access allows users to write data to Exaquantum on a function block or tag basis.

 Multiple Server Support

Multiple Exaquantum servers can seamlessly integrate their process data together to allow visualization on a single

display screen or report. For example, a display screen may consist of a textual tag eld showing data from one

Exaquantum server and a trend showing data from another Exaquantum server. A Primary and Standby Exaquantum server is designated to contain the Role Based View information accessed by the

users. If Exaquantum calculation tags require inputs from tags located on other Exaquantum servers then this functionality

(cross server calculations) is available by purchasing the Exaquantum Open Interface (NTPP007). All Exaquantum servers must contain the same software revision.

 PI OPC Open Interface

Exaquantum process data and Alarms & Events can be provided to an OSIsoft PI historian using the Exaquantum

OPC Server interface. Tag denition data can be exported from Exaquantum, using Excel or text les to congure the

PI historian. PI must have an equal number of tags to map the Exaquantum data.

Note: The number of tags required for PI is the total of Exaquantum’s instantaneous values and all the aggregation items. Note: If the PI OPC Open Interface is required, please contact your local Y okogawa representative in advance of implementation

as some conguration is required.

 History Data Export (HDE) Tool (R3.20 or later)

The History Data Export (HDE) tool extracts tag data from Exaquantum’s Historian utilizing OPC HDA. The tool can be run as a command line tool or run displaying a User Interface.

 BUSINESS BENEFITS

The business benets of making information available are both diverse, and industry-specic. Some of the typical benets are described below.

 Information Distribution

The availability of large amounts of data available on the desktops and tablets of many users increases e󰀩ciency. This increase is a result of fast and easy access to many di󰀨erent types of data. RBNS further increases e󰀩ciency, by

presenting users with just the data that is pertinent to them. When Internet and Intranet access to data is also taken

into account, the benets are even more apparent.

 Enhancing PCS Data

Many data sources have limited scope for enhancing their own data. Exaquantum can enhance PCS data with a set of

built-in aggregations. For example, users in some hydrocarbon industries will nd one hour (or shift, daily, etc.) values

(minimum, maximum, mean, summations, equipment run time, etc.) more useful than raw data, especially if totalizers

or accumulators are used for ow measurements. Exaquantum can further enhance the raw and aggregated data with

custom calculations.

 Enhancing Data from Multiple PCSs

Exaquantum is able to rene the data from disparate data sources into high-value business information, often known as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). For example, tonnage of a product can be calculated from a ow measured by

a PCS and a density measurement provided by a Laboratory Management Information System (LIMS).

 Time Resolved Alarm and Event History

Exaquantum can read, historize and display Alarms & Events received from compliant OPC A&E interfaces, which can be presented in time order for analysis.

For industries where unplanned shutdowns follow a complex series of consequential events, this facility can be very valuable in identifying the original cause of the shutdown.

 An Integrated Platform

The Exaquantum philosophy of open access to data and information enables easy conguration and integration of

application software.

Typical data ows between applications are the passing of:

• Sample results transferred from LIMS to Exaquantum can be used for displays, reports and the calculation of KPIs.

• Inventory and QA data from Exaquantum to an ERP system to optimize planning and scheduling campaigns.

• Condition monitoring data from Exaquantum to maintenance software to automatically initiate repairs and optimize Planned Maintenance Management schedules.

 Long Term History

Long-term historization of plant data by Exaquantum creates the opportunity for further analysis to take place.

Example 1: A system can be set to automatic or manual mode. Analysis of plant history can prove the success of the Example 2: A LIMS value may indicate a trend leading towards an out-of-spec product. Operators and engineers

Example 3: The ow meter on a main product stream may be inaccurate by several percent indicating leaks or

control settings and monitor their ongoing usage. have the opportunity to implement a correction before waste products are created.

measurement errors. The measurements from other ow meters on connected streams can be used to

identify an alternative, accurate measurement for the main product stream.

 Event Triggered Batch Processing

Batch applications can be notied automatically if any steps or changes occur in the process. These changes may

originate from direct process measurements however they can also be the result of Exaquantum aggregations or

calculations. Exaquantum is the standard route for any application that requires event notication from any PCS, thus

minimizing development costs.

 IT Security

Legacy and Standard security levels are available allowing compliance with system security requirements.

 Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Standard (R3.30 or later)

Exaquantum installation includes Microsoft SQL Server as an Integrated Value Added Solution.

 Exaopc Product Security Support (R2.70 or later)

Exaquantum has adopted the same security function as Exaopc R3.70 (*1) which tightens the security for accessing process control systems (such as CENTUM).

*1: Exaopc (R3.70 or later) can set limits on data access for each user account connecting to Exaopc.
