Implementation of general DCS configuration platform and project conversion system

To meet different distributed control system (DCS) training requirements of thermal staff from different power stations, this paper presents a general DCS configuration platform and project conversion system which is based on Ovation and researched through configuration environments of ABB Symphony. The platform is built by using the analyzing technology which based on binary files and the redeveloped technology of C++ Builder. According to the test results, this platform can simulate Symphony and other several DCS configuration environments, and provides a new idea for thermal training.
