Bill is right, the PRO standard is almost completely under the control of Siemens, and will become the most practical bus standard in the near future, and now is the critical moment of promotion, standing in the position of Siemens, Schroder will definitely support it.

The current situation undoubtedly confirms the saying that third-rate enterprises sell products, second-rate companies sell technology, and first-class sell standards.

Once a standard that a company participates in developing becomes an international standard, he becomes the one who sets the rules of the game. He makes the rules, he is also a player, others can't play him, in addition, in order to enter the stream, in order to participate in the market, they also have to "buy" the standard, just like every computer has to buy Microsoft's system.

Many people have seen the importance of bus standards in the future, and began to focus on this, Siemens is one of the pioneers, and the PRO will become one of the important standards, and other enterprises lead all kinds of standards, who gets more recognition, wider application, who is the ultimate winner.

Therefore, when Schroder saw PROFIBUS, his attitude immediately became resolute, he had no reason not to support Hengdian, in China's virgin market, if PRO takes the lead in success, other standards, there will be almost no chance.

Hengdian will be the biggest signboard to promote this standard.

Previously, he didn't know if Zhang Yifu had communicated with Siemens' standardization department, but that didn't matter. Zhang Yifu will not inform Schroder even if he has communicated, because this bid evaluation should be fair and objective.

Schroeder now fully understands "impartiality and objectivity". These will also be practiced, so that everything looks fair enough, objective enough.

A win-win situation for Hengdian and Siemens. That's too fair.

International organizations and standardization bodies, which seem to be full of pedantic atmosphere, are in fact always in such covert competition, setting standards in the name of fairness and objectivity! This is like the banner of democracy supported by corporate funding and openness behind the US presidential campaign!

Schroeder stands firmly, upholding impartiality and objectivity: "You can't deny it. PRO is the most viable bus standard available today to implement the concept described in this product. ”

"Yes, it cannot be denied. I don't deny that Siemens has this ability. Bill said, pointing to the table, "But mind you, gentlemen, we're talking about whether a Chinese company can do all of this." ”

The scene fell silent. Now Zhang Yifu has taken a step forward. After shouting the slogan of realizing "communism", the "Constitution" was given, but the realization of all this still seems to be a heavenly palace.

After listening to the translation, Jia Luansong immediately expressed his attitude: "Ladies and gentlemen, Hengdian is a high-quality and credit enterprise that has produced mature and leading products, and Zhang Yifu himself is also a cadre and entrepreneur who has experienced the test. Objectively evaluate its feasibility, after all, in the subsequent construction process. ABB will provide complete technical support, and I believe that Siemens will also provide the necessary consultation, which is the same as the technical support that Shenzi received from Mitsubishi, which is fully in line with our requirements and needs, and you should focus more on discussing the product rather than the company or the person. ”

Jia Luansong said this very decently, and even these experts could not refute it.

In this way, we will adjourn the meeting for 30 minutes, and everyone will organize their thoughts, study the product description, and then have a follow-up discussion. ”

Larsson also controlled the pace of the meeting at the right time, and did not let the tearing atmosphere continue to spread.

During the recess, some people sat in place to study product descriptions, some people got together to discuss, and some people hurried to the bathroom.

Schroeder went to the bathroom, naturally not urgently.

At this time, Zhang Yifu and Chang Jiang Shangjin were chatting outside the test room.

"Unexpectedly, when it came to the end, it became easier. Chang Jiang sighed to himself, "I stayed up so many nights before, but now I have nothing to do while sitting." ”

"I'm ready, but it's time to relax. Zhang Yifu smiled and patted the two people beside him, "Relax, the real test is behind." ”

"Mr. Zhang, how long do you say they will have a meeting?" Shang Jin was forced to wash his hair by Zhang Yifu on the first day, but at this time, the hair oil came out again, and he couldn't suppress it.

"Two days. Zhang Yifu muttered.

"Two days?" Shang Jin exclaimed, "Let's stay here for two days, it won't take that long, right?"

"Even if it's an experiment, you have to have a theory first, right?" Chang Jiang said with a smile, "The theory we threw out this time is enough for them to discuss for two days, and I guess it's just the beginning now." ”

"Is it the concept of Ethernet instead of analog signals?"

"That's just the beginning, there's more to come. Chang Jiang leaned against the wall relaxedly, with his hands behind his head, "Shang Jin, you are also an ignorant and fearless, you only understand what we Hengdian does, and follow Mr. Zhang step by step, I don't think there is such a big breakthrough, but I know the outside, I know better than you how terrible E1 is." ”

"Yes, yes, I believe, and I am confident enough, our products are really no less than Mitsubishi, haven't the microcomputer protection been confirmed before?" Shang Jin waved his hand, "But the experts in this evaluation are all from Europe and the United States, which one hasn't come from? They can't finish this little thing in two days?"

"You don't know how big the impact of the whole plant we propose on the whole industry is based on bus technology to realize electrical automation and achieve comprehensive digitalization. Chang Jiang expressed disdain for Shang Jin's words, "Of course, we are only making the prototype of the system, and if we really want to fully realize it, it is still indispensable to cooperate with large international enterprises, but most of them are hardware cooperation, and software does not need them." ”

"Hey, hey!"

As if to meet the occasion, Schroeder poked his head out of the corner and greeted Zhang Yifu, afraid that it would be too loud.

"It's coming. Zhang Yifu smiled and left the two of them, "I knew he was in a hurry." ”

Chang Jiang smiled, and Shang Jin was puzzled.

After Zhang Yifu and Schroeder met, the two didn't say a word, and found an empty laboratory and quietly entered.

"Why didn't you mention the PRO thing?" Schroeder said anxiously, "I didn't prepare for it at all, it's too embarrassing." ”

"I don't want to influence the bid evaluation experts. ”

"You've influenced. "PRO has been applied in some industrial companies in Germany, and the results are very gratifying, and now it is gradually entering the mature stage, and we have fully kept up with and even guided the IOS and IEC standards." Adopting PRO is a bold idea, and it's realistic and achievable. ”

"Thank you......"

"Zhang Yifu, I need to ask you one thing now, and you must answer truthfully. Schroeder then asked seriously, "Does the software system you sent this time really take into account the acquisition, control and calculation functions of both thermal and electrical aspects? Or only a small part of the functions?" ”

"The backbone system, the big servers, the databases, the workstations, these are all done. "I'll tell you the truth, the underlying network, acquisition, DPU, PLC and other things have not yet been designed, if E1 is a person, now there are only brains, eyes and mouths." ”

"That's enough. Schroeder clenched his fist and said, "Zhang Yifu, I choose to believe you, I hope that E1 will live up to expectations in the test, if you say empty words, no one can help you." ”

Schroeder quickly pressed back: "Have you been in contact with the department responsible for this standard at Siemens?"

"No, I don't want to leak any design news. This time my opponent was a tactical expert, and even the people in our R&D team were not sure what kind of bus standard was used, so they only did their own part, and only no more than three people knew about PRO, and even the product descriptions were printed by myself. Zhang Yifu shook his head and said, "But don't worry, everything is actually based on PRO, which is completely consistent." ”

Schroeder rubbed his hands a little impatiently.

IF THE FIELD OF PERSONAL COMPUTER OPERATING SYSTEM IS MICROSOFT ALONE, ONLY LINUX IS MAKING TROUBLE, THE CURRENT BUS STANDARD BATTLEFIELD IS A DISPUTE BETWEEN PRINCES, SIEMENS'S PRO DOES SEEM TO BE THE STRONGEST ONE, BUT THERE ARE MORE COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS AREA, WHO ACCOUNTS FOR HOW MUCH IN THE END, IT STILL DEPENDS ON THE PROMOTION STRENGTH.

If Hengdian really uses PRO to make it, it will be a huge change in the automation technology of the whole industry, and it will be a huge benefit for him and the company he works for.

To some extent, this is more obvious than Siemens' own bid for the North Desert, which will have the future of the Chinese market bus standard. In the sense of reason, public and private, Schroder really can't find any reason not to stand on the side of Hengdian.

Such a product can definitely beat Mitsubishi.

Second defeat.

In the conference room, the half-hour recess eased the previous intense atmosphere, and everyone returned to the product for analysis and discussion. The feasibility of a new fieldbus-based automation system was demonstrated, which was actually something that should be done within Hengdian, but because the breakthrough was too big, the judges had to demonstrate the feasibility first.

In the heated discussion, the dozen or so committee members were naturally divided into three factions.

Schroeder and Thomas became representatives of the support faction, the reason for Schroeder's support is needless to mention, for Thomas, he is mainly here to engage in relationships, and the quality of the product does not do anything else, but if such a system is really done, this technological breakthrough is achieved, for the power plant manager, it seems that he will benefit in the long run, at least better than letting the damn Mitsubishi fisherman benefit.

In the opposition, Bill has a clear position, biting that Hengdian does not have this technical strength, although others are not so resolute, but they do not believe that Hengdian can do it, they found some wording in the bidding document, that China wants to get a stable and reliable system, and now a stable and reliable system is in front of it, do you have to pursue a bold innovation, practical unknown thing?

The other two or three people, represented by Larson, became neutrals, only participating in technical details and achievability, and not making statements on the basis of a position at other times.

No one expected that time would pass so quickly, sunset, and still no result, and the bid evaluation process on the first day was completely lagging behind. (To be continued......)
