Natural gas resources remote measurement and control system solution

one. System Overview
The energy shortage has become a global problem. With the development of the economy, the ever-growing contradiction between the demand for natural gas and the shortage of natural gas has forced the countries of the world to seek effective solutions. Therefore, the use of modern methods to build a real-time monitoring system for natural gas resources, to dynamically grasp the changes and utilization of natural gas resources in the region, and to maximize the use of efficiency is an urgent need to promote sustainable economic and social development.
The remote monitoring system for natural gas resources developed by Shandong Lichuang Integration Co., Ltd. is an automated network management system combining software and hardware. It is through the installation of natural gas resource monitoring devices on natural gas sources or natural gas unit equipment to achieve the collection of natural gas table flow, pressure, temperature and other parameters and the control of natural gas electrovalves. Through GPRS networks, wireless communication and The natural gas resource management center computer communicates and monitors and controls each gas unit in real time. The relevant natural gas table flow, pressure, temperature, and control parameters of the natural gas electromotive valve are automatically stored in the natural gas resource management center computer database. If the gas unit artificially opens and closes the valve and the natural gas or natural gas damage occurs, the management center computer will display the cause of the fault and report it to the police to facilitate the timely dispatch of personnel to the site. The natural gas resource management center may, according to the needs, limit gas production in different seasons and control the opening and closing of valves; for users who are not paying gas resources, the gas resource management center staff can open the valve of the electric valve of the gas unit through the computer system. Remote remote control of degrees to achieve automation, integration of gas resource management/sales and monitoring.

three. Project Design and System Architecture
1. The main components of the system:

The entire natural gas monitoring solution adopts a 4-layer network structure, which are:
1. The bottom layer of distributed 485 network bottom device acquisition layer, composed of PLC and related analog quantity acquisition modules, collects the underlying data through the 485 bus.
2. GPRS communication network communication layer, through the GPRS network for data acquisition and transmission.
3. Server Data Acquisition/Processing A data processing center is built through the server and is responsible for data collection, processing, alarming, storage, etc., that is, processing of relevant data will be performed at this layer.
4. Server Group Data Distribution Network/Intranet Information Distribution Network (later extended)
Set up server function groups (group functions are not necessarily required to set up the server) to publish data through the WEB Service interface on the WEB server to implement seamless integration of B/S and C/S systems and publish functions through the Internet web page The group realizes remote WEB access and Win Form access, so that in addition to local workstation control, it is also possible to randomly select WEB workstations and Win Form workstations to remotely control remote locations in any location where Internet access is available.
Acquisition section: The natural gas resource controller developed and produced by the company is used. The natural gas resource controller integrates functions such as reading and storage of gas meter data and function configuration, and reserves function extension interfaces to facilitate the upgrade of control functions in the future.
Communication interface: Natural gas resource controller has two communication interfaces, one of which is RS485 interface, which is used for field debugging or other 485 interface device connection; the other is RS232 interface, which is used for GPRS module interface. Communication baud rate: 9600bps; After the equipment is powered off, the natural gas table data can still be counted to ensure that the data is not lost.
GPRS communication network: The LQ-8200/LQ-8110 GPRS module developed and produced by the company is used to realize transparent transmission between the bottom acquisition equipment and the data acquisition server. You can use TCP/IP or UDP. UDP is recommended for large numbers of applications.
Server group: It mainly consists of data collection server, data server and WEB/WEB SERVICE server. It adopts E-Water SCADA software and mainly includes: 1. GPRS data collection service (Windows service) 2. E-Water data publication website 3. , E-Water Web Service interface; database using SQL 2000 support. In order to achieve data collection and processing and release a series of work.
Workstation: Responsible for system information release and device operation, using natural gas Client WorkStation software, consists of two types of workstations: 1, remote workstations; 2, local workstations; workstation software can be WEB, Win Form can also be used; The remote workstation supports remote remote operation via the Internet; the local workstation accesses the local intranet for operation.

3, GPRS system networking GPRS data center can use the application of the line, wireless cat or public network IP form.
Special line method: It is necessary to apply for a special optical cable and a fixed IP address to a mobile company. It is suitable for occasions where the data collection volume is large and the speed requirement is high. At the same time, the cost for applying for a special optical cable is relatively high.
Wireless cat mode: Use wireless cat and GPRS data card to communicate with GPRS module of each collection point. This method does not require a fixed IP address for the computer. The communication speed is moderate and the amount of data is moderate. It is recommended that this system use this method (a GPRS data card with a fixed IP address is required).
Public IP: The computer needs to have a fixed public IP address. Wireless cats and other devices are not used. The cost is low, but the communication speed is slow. Due to the data volume of the public network, the communication may be disconnected.
System operating costs, system operating costs: The system according to the data flow fee. There are currently two types of fee-based charging systems, namely the monthly subscription system and data flow. Please consult your local mobile office for specific charges.
