This seminar will provide an introduction to DeltaV v11 with a comprehensive overview/demo on v11 functionality including the much anticipated Electronic Marshalling (CHARMS I/O). Nathan Pettus, Director of DeltaV Platform Marketing and Sales Development in Austin, will be leading the event.
The seminar will begin at 3:00pm and is targeted at current DeltaV end users. This seminar will run from 3:00 - 5:30pm followed by a barbeque and further conversation, networking and socializing. The barbecue will start at 5:30pm. The event is free.
DeltaV v11 Background
The v11 DeltaV release has resulted from an intense focus on Human Centered Design and it includes major enhancements to all of the systems’ I/O processing, operator displays, asset management, batch capability and system security.
These combined capabilities reduce customer project complexity, eliminate needless work, and speed system commissioning.
Unique project and operations advantages stem from the v11 I/O on Demand flexibility which allows end users to choose
among traditional wired, wireless, bussed and Electronic Marshalling. With I/O on demand, users decide what type of I/O they want - Wireless, Foundation Fieldbus, HART, AI, AO, DI, DO, DP, T/C, RTD, and etc. They decide when they want
the I/O, whether for late project changes, during start-up, during operation, or temporary installations; and where they want the I/O, whether in a rack room, remote locations, hazardous areas, safety systems, or harsh environments.
The DeltaV S-series enables this freedom of I/O choice and ease of implementation.
Further advantages are realized with Electronic Marshalling, a powerful new technology that streamlines design and installation for users. This unique marshalling approach eliminates two-thirds of the wiring and connections needed by
today’s conventional marshalling cabinets. A striking new technology invented with the
S-series -- new single channel CHARacterization ModuleS (CHARMS) -- make this possible. CHARMS relay I/O information to any DeltaV controller via your DeltaV Ethernet backbone. This unique electronic communications method eliminates the need for users to wire I/O to specific controller I/O cards. A significant benefit from Electronic Marshalling
is dealing with change. Whereas traditional project engineering requires major time and cost in changing rack-room I/O wiring and terminations as process design is refined during project execution and construction, the DeltaV S-series hardware with Electronic Marshalling makes changes easy and eliminates re-wiring. Simply land the field wires, pop in the CHARM and electronically marshal it wherever needed. By adapting to change easily, Electronic Marshalling allows you to shorten project schedules, accommodate late project changes, and dramatically simplify the I/O and marshalling design process. This late binding of process changes provides unparalleled adaptability and can help avoid costly, last minute changes.
The DeltaV S-series makes a major enhancement for WirelessHART networks as well. In addition to the existing native wireless integration, the new DeltaV S-series now has fully redundant communications, which together with the mesh wireless networks, provide the highest uptime possible. With these capabilities, users can apply wireless technology to more monitoring and control applications than ever before.
Foundation™ Fieldbus remains a bus of choice for process manufacturers due to its continuous diagnostics, control-in-the-field capabilities, and wiring economies. The S-series furthers these advantages by including a new Foundation fieldbus I/O card that includes an integrated power supply. Unique to DeltaV, this new approach eliminates the cost and expense of purchasing, engineering, mounting and maintaining separate bulk power supplies and fieldbus power conditioning modules.
Although the S-series hardware and I/O on Demand are the headliners for v11 DeltaV, there are a number of other significant capabilities in this release. These new capabilities include an entirely new set of visually-focused operator displays that improve operator performance by clear and quick recognition of alerts, and rapid access to the information needed to understand the alert and act in a timely fashion. AMS® Suite predictive maintenance software is now installed on every DeltaV system, which enables a smooth progression of integrated asset capabilities. Users can start with the AMS Device Configurator, and easily activate AMS Intelligent Device Manager at any time. New capabilities in the release also span batch, reliability, usability and security.
The DeltaV S-series is backward compatible with existing DeltaV installations. |
