Singapore, June 5, 2024 – At a much-anticipated launch event, Sinochem has unveiled the Universal Control System (UCS), a universal control system that has shaken up the global automation sector. The launch of UCS not only created a new concept of industrial control system subversively, but also played a prelude to the trans-era revolution in automatic control technology.

At the conference site, nearly 300 colleagues from nearly 20 countries and regions around the world, including process industry enterprises, multinational organizations, societies and associations, witnessed this important moment.

The essence of regression control: compute, connect, and sense,

Innovative UCS architecture for universal control system is proposed

5X00059G01 Central control technology breaks through the constraints of the existing system, which is closed and dedicated, rigid in hierarchy, and limited in computing power, innovates and proposes the technical architecture of a new generation of universal control system UCS, builds a software-defined, fully digital, cloud-native control system, and completely subverts the technical architecture of the traditional distributed control system that has lasted nearly 50 years. It breaks the shackles of traditional physical controllers, I/O modules and cabinet groups to control the new minimalist form of data centers, all-optical deterministic networks and smart devices, allowing hundreds of control cabinets to disappear and leading the revolutionary innovation of control systems.

The world’s first universal control system product

Nyx is launched

Central control technology is a new form of control system with control data center, all-optical deterministic network and intelligent devices. It has the typical characteristics of software definition, full digitalization and cloud native.

The control data center is the core of Nyx system. Based on NyxOS, a cloud real-time operating system designed for industrial real-time control, a real-time control task operation environment with high real-time, high reliability and high security is built. Nyx system can run cloud-native real-time applications, automatically adjust the scale and capacity of resources according to demand, and achieve elasticity and scalability; With redundant and distributed deployment architecture, ensure high availability and fault tolerance of the control system.

5X00059G01 Nyx uses an all-optical industrial network to control the data center directly with intelligent field data at 10Gbps speed and parallel redundancy, creating a minimalist network architecture that saves more than 90% of cables and space.

Nyx adopts APL based field connection technology to support the 2 zone native and explosion-proof field connection box and APL module, realizing the instrument IP, increasing the communication rate by more than 100 times, promoting the full digital field sensing and execution, and realizing the intelligent factory data interconnection. Central control technology has always adhered to the concept of co-creation, sharing and symbiosis, and actively created the Ethernet-APL ecology, which can provide a full line of APL products including power switches, field switches, intelligent meters and so on.

Nyx can achieve significant cost reductions, with the minimalist architecture achieving a 90% reduction in cabinet room space, an 80% reduction in cable costs, and a 50% reduction in construction cycles.

Integrated AI technology: Release unlimited industrial application value

The industrial application of Nyx will bring great value to the process industry. Through the pilot application, it is found that Nyx can deeply integrate Al technology, and the GPU-based control engine can provide automatic configuration generation, Al fusion PID and other functions, so as to achieve data prediction and adaptive control, improve the efficiency of device operation, lead the new era of “artificial intelligence” in the control field, and liberate productivity.

Add industrial intelligence and embrace infinite possibilities. In recent years, central control technology has actively explored the integration and application of advanced technologies such as AI in the process industry field, and the birth of Nyx not only marks the revolutionary leap of central control technology in the field of intelligent control, but also creates a “sword” for the transformation of industrial industry! In the face of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and the continuous acceleration of industrial change, Zhongkong Technology also looks forward to more ecological partners to join in this breakthrough change, and jointly lead the industry to a more intelligent, efficient and green future!
