What you want, when you want it, where you want it.

With the introduction of I/O onDemand, an unprecedentedamount of field I/O adaptability,ease-of-integration and plantavailability becomes possible.

Costs and concerns around singlepoints of failure, marshalled cross-wiring, power and grounding ofFOUNDATIONTM fieldbus segments,and late project I/O and processdesign change orders cancompletely disappear.

Regardless of I/O type–traditionally wired I/O, FOUNDATION

fieldbus, Profibus DP, DeviceNet,AS-i bus, or even redundant

wireless–you can add and beginusing the information all nativelyand with far less engineering,design, and field work. You choose the I/O you need, wemake it easy. I/O on Demand–yourI/O, any type, anytime, anywhere.

Inherent functionality regardless of size. Process control facilities andapplications certainly come in allsizes and levels of complexity. Tomaximize the return on yourinvestment, the automationsystem should easily scale withoutadding complexity.

system keeps the same look andfeel. This reduces administrationand training costs, and optimizesboth initial investment and futureexpansions.

From bench top, to pilot plant, tofull production; from 25 I/O pointsto over 1 million, your systemadapts to meet your needs. Sameoperations experience. Samemaintenance experience. Samesystem, scaled to fit. Easy.

DELTAV DIGITAL AUTOMATION SYSTEM


Advanced technologies that are easy to use and maintain.

Plant availability at peakperformance, that’s really theultimate goal of any automationsystem. Keeping the facilityrunning in a safe and securemanner, while optimizing theproduction, is what the DeltaVsystem with AMS Suite: IntelligentDevice Manager is all about.

All the predictive power of smartdevices is combined with the latestadvanced control technologies toprovide the ultimate in embeddedintelligent control. Whether it’s the latest in virtualization,predictive device alerts, adaptivetuning, or model predictivecontrol–you have the power of

embedded intelligent controlwithin an integrated system that’seasy to use and maintain.

Delivering the power of PlantWeb to every installation.

The DeltaV system has thecommissioning power of AMSDevice Manager included. Thiscombination connects youroperations with the predictiveintelligence in smart devices–forgreater availability.

The inherent integration of theDeltaV system extends to batch,

advanced control, changemanagement, engineering tools,diagnostics, simulation, and eventand continuous historian.

Emerson provides solutions thatintegrate with your plant systemsabove, below, and in parallel with the DeltaV system. And, it is tightlyintegrated with:

n SyncadeTM suite which providesoperations management

nAMS Suite which providespredictive maintenance

nDeltaV SISTM system whichprovides an integrated yetseparate safety system

n Integrated machinerymonitoring.

Designed specifically for your process control applications.

Over the last ten years, commercialoff-the-shelf technologies (COTS)have provided tremendousincreases in functionality and costadvantages. The DeltaV systemwas the first such system on themarket, and continues to provideopen, proven products to itsprocess manufacturers.

However, while COTS have givenmany advantages, it has also come

with expensive administration andlife-cycle cost requirements. Abetter approach is to takeadvantage of the cost benefits andopen standards of COTS, but toadd functionality that allows theequipment to function more likeother parts of the system–plug-and-play, full lifecycle supportwithout upgrades, built-in security,etc. We call this balance “built forpurpose”, and the DeltaV system is

the first automation system toaddress this critical need in manyof the most important facets of thesystem.

Built for Purpose Services

The DeltaV system’s uniqueflexible field architecture deliversI/O on demand–providing the I/Oyou want, when you want it, whereyou want it. It is flexible becauseyou can now decouple the processdesign from the I/O infrastructuredesign, to easily incorporate lateprocess changes into theautomation system.

Electronic Marshallingmade easyElectronic Marshalling makesdesign easier and more forgiving,because any input value can beread by any DeltaV controllerregardless of where the wiring is landed.

DeltaV Electronic Marshallingeliminates the complexityassociated with marshalling fieldwiring in a control system.

Electricians can terminate the fieldwires on terminal strips in thesame way they have in the past,but the cross-wiring from themarshalling panel to I/O cards hasbeen eliminated. This greatlysimplifies control cabinet design, installation, and maintenance.

Installation of ElectronicMarshalling is intuitive and easy,because it is similar to existingmethods for terminating field wiring. No special training or expertise is needed to terminate wiring on the terminal blocks. Anintegrated “knife-edge”

disconnect eliminates the worryover accidentally induced faultsduring hot cutovers andmaintenance.

Increased robustness Troubleshooting of installationissues can be done on a channel-by-channel basis, becauseproblems are isolated to a singlechannel–providing increasedrobustness.

Because each analog CHARMcomes fully equipped with theability to read HART v7 data,intelligent field devices can bemonitored and quickly diagnosedaround the clock. In addition HARTdata access is quicker with CHARMsthan with traditional I/O cards.

Redundancy ensures reliability:nRedundant CHARM I/O cardnRedundant communications

between CHARMS and theCHARM I/O card

nRedundant power betweenCHARM I/O card to each CHARM

nRedundant network com-munications between CHARMI/O cards and controllers.

Electronic Marshalling Tight project schedules withchanging requirements duringdesign and implementation are away of life. DeltaV Electronic Marshalling lets you land fieldcabling wherever you want,regardless of signal type or control strategy.

With Electronic Marshalling, eachterminal block has a channelcharacterization module, orCHARM, which includes signalcharacterization for different typesof I/O. Field wiring of any signaltype can be terminated anywhereand characterized by the variousCHARMs. A digital communicationbus runs along the terminal strip tosend device signal information tothe top, the redundant CHARM I/Ocard, a redundant 96 channelbased multipurpose I/O card,where I/O conditioning iscompleted.

Flexibility to give you the I/O you want, when you want it, where you want it.

hazardous areas. The I/Osubsystem connects intrinsicallysafe field circuits and field devicesinto FM Class I, Division 1, Zone 1,and Zone 0 hazardous areas formost standard analog input,discrete input and discrete output applications.

With the addition of IntrinsicallySafe CHARMs to the S-seriesElectronic Marshalling concept,field wiring to hazardous areas iseven easier. Field devices located inFM Class I, Division 1, ATEX orIECEx Zone 1 or Zone 0 hazardousareas can now directly beconnected to the flexible IS AI andIS AO CHARMs, IS DI NAMUR and ISDO as well to IS RTD and IS TC CHARMs.

Continuously adapting to changing conditions helps optimize your plant.



How do you know if your loopsare under-performing?Studies have shown that nearly 40% of all

process loops are under-performing. You are

responsible for hundreds of control loops and

instruments and you don’t have the time or the

tools to monitor and maintain them. Your

company is losing millions of dollars each year

due to process variability and poor control

performance. With embedded intelligent

control, the DeltaV system provides you with a

systematic way to automatically monitor,

diagnose, and improve process control

performance.


Intelligent control also makes lifeeasier for your operators.More robust control means thatyour operators are less likely tooperate in manual mode.Automatic control with reducedvariability gives your operators lessto worry about, so they can focuson other important operatingactivities.

Reliable informationincreases availabilityYou cannot have sustainableadvanced control unless you havea strong foundation–built onhealthy devices and reliable fieldinformation. The DeltaV systemuses validated data and equipmenthealth information from intelligentfield assets to ensure the rightcontrol action is taken, preventingunwanted shutdowns when anasset fails.

All DeltaV intelligent controlfunctions run in the DeltaVcontroller, including advancedcontrol algorithms. This ensuresthat critical strategies run in arugged, high-speed, optionallyredundant environment.

Online adaptabilityChanging process conditionsrequire a control system to quicklyadapt and take corrective action toprevent unsafe or sub-optimaloperations. Reliable measure-ments and intelligent controlstrategies provide accurate andflexible control during changingprocess conditions and market demand.

Intelligent field devices thatprovide diagnosticinformation ensure theregulatory and advancedcontrol algorithms areworking with good data andthat corrective action can betaken in the case of questionableor bad data.

The DeltaV system’s embeddedintelligent control provides theability to quickly adapt tochanging process conditions andthe flexibility to confidentlyrespond to changing marketdemand. Embedded learningalgorithms identify controlproblems and provide continuousadaptive control to automaticallyadapt to changing processconditions. Model predictivecontrol and optimization go onestep further to continuouslymonitor process and economicconditions to ensure optimal plantperformance within operatingconstraints.

The embedded DeltaV intelligentcontrol applications are designedfor you to use on a broad array ofcontrol challenges, enabling you todevelop the right controlstrategies for your plant, at afraction of the traditional cost–what you want, when you want it,where you want it.

Preventing hazardousconsequencesBy reducing process variability andadapting to changing conditions, embedded intelligent controlkeeps your process runningsmooth and within safe limits. Thishelps prevent unwantedshutdowns or hazardousconsequences that may otherwiseresult from abnormal situationssuch as process disturbances,upsets, and unplanned events.

OPC .NET provides processmanufacturers a migration path tothe OPC Unified Architecture (UA)as needed. OPC .NET is based onWindows CommunicationFoundation (WCF), the latestcommunications technology fromMicrosoft, enabling both fast andefficient data communicationsbetween Windows-based clients

Streamlining collaboration for greater production efficiency.

Lost changes? Enter it once and be done.Your EPC is using Intergraph’s SmartPlant

Instrumentation (SPI) software to design your

large projects. In the past you have been able to

import the I/O configuration from the SPI tool,

automatically configuring your DCS with the

same I/O layout. However, without bi-

directional communication, any changes made

to the I/O design on the DCS side cannot be re-

incorporated into the SPI database without

manual effort.

Synchronizing the configuration after changesare made to the DCS configuration means thattwo tasks must be performed, one in eachsystem, likely by two different people. Thiscreates significant coordination costs and oftenresults in quality problems when errors aremade or changes are lost.

Now with DeltaV XML-based bi-directional SPI-integration, data exchange andsynchronization in both directions isaccomplished with only a few clicks of themouse. You can enter it once and be done. It’s that easy!



and servers, as well as secure andreliable data communicationsthrough firewalls and to non-Windows systems.

OPC .NET also facilitates thedevelopment of visually stunningclient applications using WindowsPresentation Foundation (WPF),Microsoft’s next generation user-interface development platform.

SQLConnecting upwards withtransactional, planning-basedsystems often requires SQLdatabase connectivity. DeltaValarms, events, and batch historydata are stored in anSQL-server databaseand available toapplications likeoperationsmanagement systems,enterprise planningsystems and otherdecision supportsystems requiringaccess to informationfrom the process.

This well-known, well-proven, easily-adaptable standardsupports the datarequirements for yourworkflow processes.

Web ServicesMany process manufacturers wantto integrate their control andbusiness systems to moreefficiently run their organization,but existing solutions may not beflexible or secure enough to meetthe demands of these systems.Service Oriented Architecture(SOA) provides a way to addressthese requirements. It’s astandards-based design approachto create an integrated ITinfrastructure and agile, looselycoupled dynamic applicationscapable of rapidly responding tochanging business needs.

Web services use specificstandards and language protocolsto execute an SOA approach. TheDeltaV system provides an SOAapproach to ISA95 Level 3 andLevel 4 data integration withDeltaV Web Services for batchrecipe creation and batchexecution scheduling data. TheDeltaV SOA Gateway with DeltaVWeb Services provides a highly-secure, authenticated means ofcommunications between theDeltaV system and plant planningand execution applications.

The DeltaV OPC .NET interface provides asecure, firewall-friendly data communi-

cations path between the DeltaV systemand the enterprise.




For more than ten years,commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)technologies have providedtremendous increases infunctionality and cost advantagesto end-users of today’s automationsystems. The DeltaV system wasthe first of this kind and continuesto provide open, proven productsto its user base.

However, while COTS has providedmany advantages, it has also comewith a price–increased adminis-tration and life-cycle costsrequirements. A better approach isto take advantage of the costbenefits and open standards ofCOTS, but to add functionality thatallows the equipment to functionmuch more like other parts of thesystem (plug-and-play capability,full life-cycle support withoutupgrades, security built in, etc.)We call this balance “built forpurpose”, and the DeltaV system isthe first automation system toaddress this critical need in manyof the most important facets ofthe system.

Built for securityTo help you address challengescreated by using COTS, security isintegrated throughout the DeltaVsystem architecture. DeltaV SmartSwitches are treated as DeltaVswitches and are fullypreconfigured for purpose. Alertsand diagnostics from these devicesare integrated with othermaintenance alerts so yourmaintenance staff, not your IT

staff, can quickly address any issues.DeltaV Smart Switches comecompletely preconfigured to plugand play in the DeltaV networkwith no additional configuration ortrouble-shooting required. Toprevent physical intrusion on thecontrol network, you canautomatically lock down unusedswitch ports with a single mouse click.

A perimeter firewall is animportant security element thatprotects your control system fromsecurity risks from outside thecontrol network. The EmersonSmart Firewall provides a built-for-purpose, easy-to-implementfirewall that allows plantoperations to implement andmanage their system perimetersecurity without the need forfirewall or security expertise.

On your control network, DeltaVController Firewalls provide anadditional layer of protection forfurther protection of your control hardware.

Security extends up to theenterprise applications throughOPC .NET and web servicesproviding two-way, authenticatedcommunications for historicalprocess data control, andadvanced control data, alarms andevents, and batch-basedinformation. Unlike otherautomation systems, the dataincludes status information fromthe intelligent field devices.

Instead of wondering if critical business decision-makinginformation coming from the automation system is accurate–the quality of the data comesalong with the data.

AMS Device Manager integrateswith the DeltaV software toprovide common security andconfidence in the operation of yourfield assets.

Designed for ease of use in your most demanding applications.
