Leading the way The DeltaV system has delivered a host of industry firsts—including simple plug-and-play OPC and XML integration, FOUNDATION fieldbus, batch control, and advanced control technologies. Being first with these technology innovations has made our users pacesetters in their industries. But more important, it’s delivered dramatic operational improvements: the kind of improvements you can start profiting from today. Results that deliver It’s no wonder that process automation professionals like you have voted the DeltaV system the leading process automation system for four consecutive years.† In the following pages, see why

A Better Approach to Digital

The DeltaV system, a key component of the PlantWeb architecture, is the world’s first digital automation system

Built with today’s technologies like PC workstations, Ethernet, digital busses, OPC and XML, the DeltaV system delivers more precise control, and predictive maintenance. And it delivers that information where and when it’s required. Unlike other systems, the technologies were built from the ground up into a digital automation architecture, not bolted on after the fact. That’s what makes the DeltaV system easy to learn, easy to use, easy to maintain, and easy to connect to your existing automation.

Availability While the DeltaV system is built with quality components, many customers seek further assurance—like the demands of increased uptime. You can choose the level of redundancy your application requires, including: „ Redundant Ethernet network communications „ Redundant controllers „ Redundant power supplies „ Redundant H1 FOUNDATION fieldbus interface and bus power

„ Redundant digital HART I/O „ Redundant MODBUS and other RS485 serial communicatio

Rugged control and field interfaces Built to mount anywhere— minimizing your installation costs and ensuring safety. Meets: „ Class 1, Div. 2 „ Zone 1 and 2 „ Intrinisically safe options „ G3 corrosion resistance „ -40 to 70°C.

Commercial off-the-shelf technologies Proven, low-cost, easily integratable commercial technologies are the fundamental building blocks of the DeltaV system: technologies proven across many industries and known by a wide pool of professionals. „ Windows workstation and server-based PCs „ Ethernet technology „ Bus standards.

Automation–Easy

“The unique design of the DeltaV digital automation system simplifies the installation and commissioning process, enabling us to complete the project five months ahead of schedule ....The quality of the gas is better than the standard of the Grade A specification.” — Mr. Liu Yi Changquing Oil Field Company

You are faced with many options for automating your plants. What separates the DeltaV digital automation system?

Key system services built into the DeltaV software include: „ Peer-to-peer communications „ History services „ Event services „ Alarm services „ Time handling „ Hot expansion services „ Tag look-up services „ Diagnostic services „ On-line upgrades.

Peer-to-peer awareness The DeltaV system keeps a realtime database available to all connected PCs and controllers. Functions difficult or impossible to implement in component-based solutions easily done in the DeltaV system include: „ System-wide alarm management „ Global security by user and function „ System and device diagnostics.

Precision time keeping Across all PC workstations and controllers, precise time can be synchronized to the atomic clock. Time synchronization is available with full redundancy. Precision time means: „ Accurate, system-wide history „ Faster root cause analysis „ Sequence of events is built-in, not a 3rd-party add-on.

ughout the Architecture

Time-stamped and validated at the source Digital automation systems, like the DeltaV system, are built to receive, store and use data timestamped in digital field devices (where supported). With the addition of a GPS time server, these time stamps are within 1msec. Health of the information comes from status data sent by field devices and propagated throughout the DeltaV system. For your traditional field devices, the DeltaV system offers digital Sequence of Events (SOE) interfaces that provide time stamping in the SOE cards to 1msec resolution

User security Built on Windows workstation security, the DeltaV system provides easy, flexible, system-wide security management for all users including operators, engineers, technicians, and other automation users. Based on user login, these keys control both system functionality and span of operator control. Security settings include: „ Operating span of control by plant area „ Alarm limits, tuning parameters change privilege „ Security by both user and by physical location.

The DeltaV control hardware delivers big savings in the installation process. The compact, modular design allows you to cost-effectively meet your process needs. Easy, flexible installation Installation is easy since I/O is automatically auto-sensed when added to the system. No-value engineering is eliminated. DeltaV control hardware is built rugged and flexible to mount almost anywhere. It’s built for: „ Class 1, Division 2 areas „ CENELEC Zone 1/2 areas „ ISA-S71.04-1985 Airborne Contaminants Class G3. Shared Zone 1 Remote I/O Additionally, shared remote I/O is available for Zone 1 and Zone 2 installations. Unlike other remote I/O, shared remote I/O can be shared among several controllers for a greater range of applications and installation flexibility. The DeltaV control hardware has many mounting options available to reduce your installation costs. Some options include: „ DIN-rail field junction box „ High-density cabinet mount „ DIN-rail wall mount „ Skid mount. Hot swappable Unlike other automation solutions, the DeltaV system lets you add system components including controllers, I/O, field devices and workstations while the system is powered and running. You can expand and upgrade your system on the fly with no downtime. Classic field interfaces The DeltaV system also supports a full range of analog, discrete, thermocouple, and RTDs for your existing field devices. Intrinsically safe The DeltaV intrinsically safe field interface subsystem connects intrinsically safe field circuits and field devices into Class 1, Division 1, Zone 1, and Zone 0 hazardous areas for most standard analog input, analog output, discrete input, and discrete output applications. Field power injection Unlike most existing automation systems, the DeltaV system injects field power right at the field interface terminations, significantly reducing installation cost by: „ Eliminating marshalling wiring „ Reducing cabinet or junction box footprint „ Reducing labor for additional terminations
