Manufacturers are being asked to do more with less: improve process performance with fewer engineers, increase reliability with lower maintenance budgets, and guarantee quality during changing conditions. Advanced control has proven to be an effective tool in optimizing operations, reliability, and quality but can be expensive to implement and maintain on traditional control systems. DeltaV Advanced Control products provide a full array of applications including model predictive control, loop monitoring and adaptive tuning, quality prediction, and constrained optimization. Unlike other control systems, DeltaV Advanced Control is embedded in the system, using the same engineering environment, configuration database, and controller platform for unprecedented availability and ease-of-use.
DeltaV controllers and I/O The DeltaV system extends flexibility to fit your requirements by offering multiple types of I/O. • Electronic Marshalling enables you to add various kinds of I/O when and where you want them. • Traditional I/O offers standard analog. • Discrete I/O cards varying from 4 to 32 channels per card and offers connectivity to fieldbus devices communicating using a number of different bus technologies. The DeltaV system’s unique flexible field architecture delivers I/O on demand providing you the I/O you want, when you want it, where you want it. It is flexible because you can now decouple the process design from the I/O infrastructure design to easily incorporate late process changes into the automation system.
DeltaV data integration When data flows among systems from the field to the control system to the management systems and back you understand the power of how information influences success. The DeltaV system was engineered to promote ease of connectivity. Once the data is in, the system treats it as native and streamlines the complete business process. All this is implemented within easy-to-use human-machine interfaces (HMIs). At the device level, the DeltaV system provides plug-and-play capability for runtime and diagnostics in a variety of standard protocols: Wireless HART, HART, Fieldbus, DeviceNet, and Profibus DP. Decision makers at every level in the plant including engineering, operations, and production can get the critical data they need, reliably, securely, and in real time.
DeltaV Workstations In a non-DeltaV environment, success in maintaining computers is often elusive and expensive in time, effort, and money due to incompatibilities between computer hardware and software. DeltaV has solved these issues by providing a variety of built-for-purpose computers specifically manufactured and tested to support DeltaV applications. Using DeltaV workstations eliminate potential software incompatibility headaches involved in implementing and maintaining control workstations. DeltaV Workstations are only available from Emerson and are required to be used for all DeltaV Workstation deployments.
DeltaV engineering tools With the pressure to get up and running on schedule, it’s important to have a common set of engineering tools to confi gure, calibrate, and commission different types of equipment. This ensures that you can quickly complete your tasks in a single interface, without having to make the same changes in multiple locations. The DeltaV suite of engineering tools handles configuration, both locally and remotely, for all aspects of the DeltaV system and intelligent field devices. A single, global database enables you to coordinate all configuration activities. Forget about data mapping between separate databases or referencing your process and engineering information by arcane registers or numbers. DeltaV engineering tools are developed with ease-of-use as a primary design criteria. The DeltaV system is designed to eliminate low-value engineering to ensure quick configuration, testing, and commissioning of any process manufacturing plant.
