MXA81A-100-503-00 From the “Prism gate” incident to the Sino-US trade war, localization replacement has always been a hot topic in the ICT industry. From Ali’s announcement to “IOE”, to today’s domestic chips, domestic OS/CRM/ERP and other software blooming, localization replacement has really made progress.

MXA81A-100-503-00 In spite of this, it can be seen that the localized substitution we talk about, or the localized product of the application, is more to replace a certain part of the entire system, such as CPU, database, ERP, and so on. With a set of pure domestic IT systems to support enterprise business, management and operation is not many.

It is well known that China is a manufacturing powerhouse. On the morning of March 1, data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology showed that China’s industrial added value reached 31.31 trillion yuan in 2020, ranking the world’s first manufacturing country for 11 consecutive years.

MXA81A-100-503-00 As a manufacturing country, in recent years, China is actively using digital technology to promote the transformation from manufacturing to “intelligent manufacturing”, the core of which is industrial software.

In simple terms, industrial software can be divided into three parts: industrial control software for the control, data acquisition and safe operation of industrial equipment and automated production lines; Various management software to support enterprise business operations; Tools and management software to support the development and innovation of industrial products, that is, product innovation digital software. At present, there are not a few Chinese manufacturers that provide three types of industrial software, but there is still a gap compared with foreign giants.

MXA81A-100-503-00 Combining these two topics, China Software network saw an interesting question: Since the substitution of localization is so popular, China has industrial software providers of various subdivisions, so regardless of interface, standards, mutual certification and other factors, purely from the perspective of functions and application scenarios, can you use pure domestic industrial software to set up a set of intelligent manufacturing system?

01The localization construction of industrial control software

MXA81A-100-503-00 First look at the industrial control software, which is the basis of industrial automation, industrial Internet, and intelligent manufacturing. Since programmable controller has been adopted, industrial control software is not isolated in practical application, but can play its due role by integrating with other industrial control software. Including APC (Advanced process control) software, DCS (distributed control system) software, PLC (Programmable logic control) software, SCADA (data acquisition and monitoring system) software, configuration software, DNC/MDC (distributed numerical control and machine data acquisition) and so on.

MXA81A-100-503-00 At present, the domestic manufacturers that provide industrial control software mainly focus on PLC, DCS and configuration software. The PLC can optionally use Trustjet. This is a well-known domestic industrial automation product development and application provider, which provides a variety of PLC products, including small PLC, thin card PLC, medium-sized PLC. In addition, in the field of industrial control, Xinjie also provides man-machine interface, integrated controller, MA/ temperature/analog and other special modules.

DCS can choose Hollysys. Since the 1990s, Hollysys has introduced several generations of DCS products. The latest generation of DCS products includes two models: the HOLLiASMACS-F system is suitable for small and medium-sized projects (up to 20,000 physical points), and is structurally-high-density installation, up to 1056 points in a single cabinet with terminals; The HOLLiASMACS-S system is suitable for large projects (less than 100,000 physical points), and has a moderate installation density in the structure, with a single cabinet including terminals up to 720 points.

Configuration software can choose Asia Control Technology. Its KingView products have been launched for more than two decades and are far ahead in the domestic market. Its SCADA product KingSCADA has the characteristics of integrated management, modular development, visual operation, intelligent diagnosis and control, easy to use, safe and reliable operation, and supports Activex controls, OPC, DDE, API, with good openness.
