Introduction

The digital revolution isupon us. From cameras tocomputers, telephones totelevisions, music to video.Everywhere you look, digitalsystems are replacing theiranalog counterparts. Thereason is increased plantavailability and betterperformance—plus, awealth of informationpreviously unavailable.

Distributed control systems—wereno doubt a major breakthrough inthe mid-1970s. But these systemsare based on 4-20mA signals andproprietary communications.

Emerson Process Managementbegan the industry's move towardthe digital revolution byintroducing theHART® protocolmore than 15 yearsago. HART is ahybridcommunicationprotocol that enables adigital signal, primarily for increasedinformation, to coexist with a 4-

20mA control signal. This digital bi-directionalcommunication transforms fielddevices from single functionalinstruments to multi-functionaldevices that deliver multiplemeasured variables with singleprocess intrusions, like:�Device health� Process health� End of life predictions.

Now the devices in your installedfacility can deliver—all on the sametwisted pair of wires alreadyinstalled. Today, over 80% of all fielddevices shipped are intelligent.

With more than a decade of HARTexperience, Emerson ProcessManagement and other industryleaders fine-tuned the HARTprotocol to pioneer and introduceFOUNDATIONTM fieldbus. FOUNDATION

fieldbus, a fully bi-directional digitalcommunications standard, delivers

even greater levels of diagnostic,operating, and assetinformation to improve plantefficiency.

Emerson Process Managementintroduced the PlantWebarchitecture to unleash the power offield devices to deliver a step change

in plant operating performance.

This digital PlantWeb architecturecombines AMS (online devicemonitoring and diagnosticsoftware), the DeltaV digitalautomation system, and a widerange of intelligent field devices todeliver the true potential of your plant.

Only the PlantWebarchitecture delivers digitalprecision because it’s builtto turn the wealth ofdiagnostic data in intelligentfield devices into actionableinformation. With thePlantWeb architecture, youcan achieve the truepotential of your assets.

What is a smart plant?A smart plant is a plant constructed

with intelligent pieces. That's the

idea behind the PlantWeb

architecture. Intelligent devices, the

DeltaV digital automation system

and AMS. They work together as an

integrated solution to form the

industry's most exciting change in

process automation technology

since distributed control replaced

panel-based control.

The DeltaV system includes other

popular digital communication

busses such as AS-i for cost-sensitive

installations, and Profibus DP and

DeviceNet for integration of motor

starters and drives.

Now you have a wide variety of

digital buses to choose from with

the DeltaV system, as well as the

world's best implementation of

HART to easily take advantage of the

diagnostics that HART-based

intelligent field devices provide.

The Power of HART

Manufacturers have beenusing HART devices for yearswithout taking fulladvantage of theircapabilities. Now AMS andthe DeltaV system, keycomponents of the PlantWebarchitecture, make it easy tounleash the power of theseinstalled HART devices—todeliver the true potential ofthese assets for the first time.

The HART highwayThe DeltaV system includes HARTAI and AO interface modules.These interface modules go farbeyond what most existingautomation systems deliver. AMScan directly access intelligent fielddevices without the need forexternal multiplexers as illustrated.As you connect the HART devicesinto the DeltaV system, you canimmediately use AMS forcalibration, configuration, anddiagnostics. There’s no additionalwiring, no data mapping, and no

time wasting! Easy.

Some manufacturers findthemselves in a climatewhere replacement of theirautomation system is notan option and they areseeking cost avoidance,increased uptime andreduced variability at anaffordable cost. These

manufacturers aredeploying AMS onlegacy systems usingHART multiplexers topeel off the digitalHART protocol.Other manufacturersare taking moresignificant steps toupgrade theirinstallations. By using the DeltaVplug-and-play upgrade program,manufacturers are upgrading theirautomation systems to the DeltaVsystem without lifting a wire orreplacing a field device. Simplyplug and play. After the transition,these users are able to takeadvantage of the rich digitalcommunications of their installedHART field devices for the first time.

The DeltaV digitalautomation system is theonly system built from theground up to unleash theadvantages of FOUNDATIONfieldbus. Not an add-on, notan afterthought, it’s built todeliver theproject andoperationalsavings of adigital plant—easy!

Unique architecturedeliversEmerson's unique PlantWebarchitecture was designed to deliverthe true potential of intelligent fielddevices. AMS for device diagnosticsand commissioning is blended withthe DeltaV system for precisioncontrol into an integrated databasefor quick and easy deployment. The DeltaV software's function blocklibrary is based on the globallyrecognized standards IEC 1131-3(control language specifications) andIEC 61158 (function block andprotocol specifications).

Since the DeltaV software's functionblocks are built to the fieldbusstandards, there is no mapping intolegacy data structures. Device healthpasses natively from the field tooperators and maintenance staff fordecision support and data validation.

From the DeltaV Explorer you cansee your intelligent field devices withtheir associated control strategies. Asimple right mouse click on a devicelaunches AMS, which lets youcommission devices faster anddiagnose device problems fasterthan ever before.

Redundant, reliable andflexibleFOUNDATION fieldbus delivers asimple and economic way to wireyour plant. For those deployingintrinsically safe solutions, the FISCO(Fieldbus Intrinsic Safe Concept)model has been adopted byEmerson for further flexibility.

For your most demandingapplications, Emerson providesredundant fieldbus segmentcommunications via the Backup LinkActive Scheduler, as well asredundant power and redundant H1interfaces in the DeltaV system.

Asset ManagementSolutions (AMS)

AMS uses the intelligence inyour field devices to delivermaintenance savings,enhanced operationalsafety, less downtime, andfaster time to production innew installations.

Device statusWith AMS, your maintenance staffcan call up the status of anindividual device and investigatethe device from the inside. Based

on this information, you canproactively plan maintenance andeliminate problems before theyoccur. This device information isalso available via industry-standardOPC communications for fastaccess by the plant staff in otherapplications.

Device configurationWith AMS, you can configure yourfield devices and re-range atransmitter. Since the DeltaVsystem and AMS are tightly

coupled, the DeltaV systemautomatically senses the activityand adjusts control strategiesaccordingly—all transparent.

Device calibrationSome field devices may becalibrated insitu using AMS. Thissignificantly reduces yourmaintenance expenses.

Fast commissioningField device commissioning is easywith the DeltaV system and AMS.Manufacturers across the globehave reduced installation andcommissioning time in many casesby more than 30%.

AMS snap-onsAMS is extensible by the addition ofsnap-on software. These snap-onsdeliver device-specific AMSextensions like ValveLink, whichcan perform extended diagnosticslike valve signatures. The savingsfrom diagnosing these devices in-line instead of pulling them out ofservice on a preventive schedule is significant.

Benefits documented by ourcustomers include:

� Productivity Increased from2 to 40% �Maintenance expense reduced

from 7 to 60% � Product quality improved

(rework & scrap rates reduced)by 5 to 90% � Equipment life extended from 1

These devices contain a wealth ofdiagnostic information, availableremotely to allow you to streamlineyour maintenance efforts. No longeris a transmitter or valve a one-waycommunication device.

Emerson's intelligent field devicesare built to global industrystandards, so you have the freedomto choose the best devices from thebest suppliers, without being limitedby proprietary technologies.

Some predictive maintenance alertsEmerson intelligent field devicesdeliver include:

� Plugged impulse line

�Reverse flow

�Calibration error

� Empty pipe

�Device health

� Sensor probe suspect

�RTD drift

� Travel pressure high

� Travel accumulation

�Cycle counter

�Valve signature

�Drive signal

� Signal saturation

� PV out of range

� Stem position

“The more impressivefeature of the fieldbus

integration in DeltaV is that it is really

integrated. Veryfrequently it has been

heard of integrationconcepts where, well, inspite of everything, it is

necessary to go througha series of steps and

tools that don't make itso integrated. In this

case it is practically onesystem, when the operator is at the

control panel you can'ttell if you are in the

field or at the controls.There is real

integration.”—Matias Morales

PlantWeb starts

with intelligent

devices, the

foundation of

digital plants.

Emerson’s PlantWebarchitecture lets you putcontrol anywhere—where itbest suits the applicationand level of performanceyou require.

The DeltaV function blocks werebuilt with fieldbus in mind. Thefunction blocks are exactlyimplemented per the IEC 61158specification. The parameters on thefunction block are those defined bythe Fieldbus Foundation and areconsistent throughout. Unlikeexisting DCSs or PLCs wherecomplicated mapping for fieldfunction blocks to legacy datastructures are required, the DeltaVfunction blocks are exactly the sameas field device function blocks. Sothe system is easy to engineer andeasy to maintain.

Peer-to-peer control among fielddevices broadly distributes controland provides a higher degree ofsingle-loop integrity. With theDeltaV system, you have thecomplete freedom to choose wherecontrol should operate: in the DeltaVcontroller or in the intelligent fielddevice. It's an easy drag-and-dropexercise to select where you wantcontrol to happen.

Reduced Operations andMaintenance Costs

After commissioning theprocess, plant efficiencycomes from making morewith less—more product,on-spec—with less staff, lessvariability, and lessdowntime. The PlantWebarchitecture delivers resultsin operations andmaintenance to improveyour efficiency and yourprofitability.

A large portion of maintenancebudgets—9% in this global chemicalmanufacturer’s case—is spent tomaintain instruments. Of this time and expense, 50-70%could have been avoided with theuse of AMS software and intelligentfield devices with embeddeddiagnostics, and 60-70% ofmaintenance on valves could havebeen avoided.

With the DeltaV system’s ability tosend predictive alerts tomaintenance staff, unplannedshutdowns can be minimized or even avoided.

Predictive maintenanceis key.Whether in the control room or themaintenance shop, AMS’s advanceddiagnostic information lets you keyin on the field devices that reallyneed your attention. Beyond theadvanced warning of falteringequipment, AMS suggests correctiveaction and streamlines every facet ofmaintenance work, includingtroubleshooting, diagnosing andcalibration work. This means thatwith predictive maintenance, plantfield trips could be reduced by asmuch as 63%.

The key to minimizingproduct variability toproduce on-spec product isthe health and precision ofyour field equipment.

Decreased plant variabilityPerformance of control is bestmeasured as close to the field aspossible. With Emerson field devices,this performance is calculated in thedevice. Using FOUNDATION fieldbusstandard protocols, the DeltaVsystem collects the variability data to

provide your process engineers witha snapshot of the variability in yourplant—by current measurement, byshift or by month. Instantaneouslywith no configuration. Tacklingcontrol variability results in betterproduct variability and increasedproduction.

With this precise data available youcan tackle those problems that havethe most impact on the economicsof your process.

Some customers have opted to placealarms on variability index trips forthose loops with the most significantimpact. For the plant manager, this isall rolled up into a convenientsummary display that lets one lookat key performance metrics for theplant as a whole.

Increased plant availabilityNot only does DeltaV Inspect

monitor variability, it also monitorsplant health, mode of operation andcontrol constraints.

CCoonnssttrraaiinneedd ccoonnttrrooll means that yourplant algorithms are struggling tokeep the process tuned to bestoperating conditions. Simplystated—a valve is at its limit .

Typically a quick controlconfiguration exercise will fix this butoften these areas are left undetectedbecause its not always that easy todetect. DeltaV Inspect highlightsthese troubled loops for attention.Better control means safer and moreoptimized control.

In the DeltaV system, the desiredmmooddee ooff ooppeerraattiioonn is tracked againstthe actual mode. Have you evernoticed how many loops are runningin manual? Inspect reports theamount of time that the control is inmanual control pinpointing thosetrouble spots where operators arestruggling for control.

Finally, Inspect summarized thehheeaalltthh ooff eeqquuiippmmeenntt attached to theDeltaV system. Devices may haveadvisory alerts yet be healthy(examples are: a valve that hastraveled beyond its recommendedcumulative stroke distance or atransmitter that is deployed outsideof its recommended operatingrange). Other devices could havesuspect readings that are flagged asuncertain and then of course thefinal option is devices that havefailed. All are summarized in Inspectfor fast viewing.

With DeltaV and and a foundation ofintelligent field devices, you have ahandle on the state of you plant forthe first time. Paying attention to thepredicative maintenance diagnosticsclearly summarized in DeltaV Inspectwill provide you with a means toachieve your availability targets.

Integration has never been easier.

A digital plant createsproactive people. Maintenancepersonnel who are alerteddirectly by ailing field devices.Operators who aresimultaneously notified totake corrective actions toavoid process upsets andincreased variability. The rightinformation narrowcasted tothe right person to solve theproblem—it's easy with DeltaVXML Messenger.

The roadblocks to achieving theselogical connections include: legacyautomation systems, lack ofcommunication standards, andcostly resources.

Real-time communicationIn 1995 an effort led by EmersonProcess Management and Microsoftresulted in the development of OLEfor Process Control (OPC) resulting ina standard for high speedcommunications among real-timesystems. Today this standard ismanaged by the OPC Foundation,located at wwwwww..ooppccffoouunnddaattiioonn..oorrgg .

Event collectionThe OPC Foundation increased itsstandards scope, delivering the OPCAlarm and Event specification for theintegration of time-stamped, eventinformation. Following itscommitment to open, interoperablestandards, Emerson has deliveredDeltaV OPC Alarms and Eventssoftware for easy, standards-basedintegration with the enterprise.

Transaction integrationOver the past few years, there hasbeen an explosion of Internet-baseddata standards such as HTTP andHTML. Widely adopted for viewingdata, these standards have foundtheir way into automation productssuch as the DeltaV and AMS webservers for viewing maintenance,historical and process data.

The introduction of web services bythe World Wide Web consortiumadded a data-type standard, XML(eXtensible Markup Language). Wehave provided an XML interface tothe automation layer. With DeltaVXML Messenger, connecting theautomation system to the CMMS(Computer MaintenanceManagement Systems) is a breeze.But there is more to it than justconnectivity. It’s about providing theright information to the right staff atthe right time. Advanced control

optimization alerts are directed viathe DeltaV XML Messenger tocontrol engineers;predictivemaintenance alertsto maintenancestaff; reactivemaintenance alertsto operators andcritical plant eventsto plantmanagement. Easyintegration, filteringand redirection—nnaarrrroowwccaassttiinngginformation to the right staff.

Third-party applications can noweasily connect automation systemtransactions with enterprise systemsvia a drag-and-drop configuration asopposed to complex C/C++programming. Now you canintegrate your production andautomation systems readily withyour maintenance systems.

Recurring

benefits that

really pay off.
