DeltaVTM Digital Automation System
System Overview
With continued focus on human centered design, the DeltaV system delivers
significant enhancements that help eliminate unnecessary work processes,
removes the complexity of using the latest technologies and embeds specialized
knowledge–improving your operations, easy.
Page 2–DeltaV System Overview
What you want, when you want it, where you want it.
With the introduction of I/O on
Demand, an unprecedented
amount of field I/O adaptability,
ease-of-integration and plant
availability becomes possible.
Costs and concerns around single
points of failure, marshalled cross-
wiring, power and grounding of
FOUNDATIONTM fieldbus segments,
and late project I/O and process
design change orders can
completely 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 begin
using the information all natively
and with far less engineering,
design, and field work.
You choose the I/O you need, we
make it easy. I/O on Demand–your
I/O, any type, anytime, anywhere.
Inherent functionality regardless of size.
Process control facilities and
applications certainly come in all
sizes and levels of complexity. To
maximize the return on your
investment, the automation
system should easily scale without
adding complexity.
Part of Emerson's PlantWebTM
architecture, the DeltaVTM system
is built from the ground up for
ultimate scalability. Regardless of
your application’s size, the DeltaV
system keeps the same look and
feel. This reduces administration
and training costs, and optimizes
both initial investment and future
expansions.
From bench top, to pilot plant, to
full production; from 25 I/O points
to over 1 million, your system
adapts to meet your needs. Same
operations experience. Same
maintenance experience. Same
system, scaled to fit. Easy.
DELTAV DIGITAL AUTOMATION SYSTEM

Advanced technologies that are easy to use and maintain.
Plant availability at peak
performance, that’s really the
ultimate goal of any automation
system. Keeping the facility
running in a safe and secure
manner, while optimizing the
production, is what the DeltaV
system with AMS Suite: Intelligent
Device Manager is all about.
All the predictive power of smart
devices is combined with the latest
advanced control technologies to
provide the ultimate in embedded
intelligent control. Whether it’s
the latest in virtualization,
predictive device alerts, adaptive
tuning, or model predictive
control–you have the power of
embedded intelligent control
within an integrated system that’s
easy to use and maintain.
Delivering the power of PlantWeb to every installation.
The DeltaV system has the
commissioning power of AMS
Device Manager included. This
combination connects your
operations with the predictive
intelligence in smart devices–for
greater availability.
The inherent integration of the
DeltaV system extends to batch,
advanced control, change
management, engineering tools,
diagnostics, simulation, and event
and continuous historian.
Emerson provides solutions that
integrate with your plant systems
above, below, and in parallel with
the DeltaV system. And, it is tightly
integrated with:
nSyncadeTM suite which provides
operations management
nAMS Suite which provides
predictive maintenance
nDeltaV SISTM system which
provides an integrated yet
separate safety system
nIntegrated machinery
monitoring.
Designed specifically for your process control applications.
Over the last ten years, commercial
off-the-shelf technologies (COTS)
have provided tremendous
increases in functionality and cost
advantages. The DeltaV system
was the first such system on the
market, and continues to provide
open, proven products to its
process manufacturers.
However, while COTS have given
many advantages, it has also come
with expensive administration and
life-cycle cost requirements. A
better approach is to take
advantage of the cost benefits and
open standards of COTS, but to
add functionality that allows the
equipment to function more like
other parts of the system–plug-
and-play, full lifecycle support
without upgrades, built-in security,
etc. We call this balance “built for
purpose”, and the DeltaV system is
the first automation system to
address this critical need in many
of the most important facets of the
system.
The proven PlantWeb digital plant
architecture helps you detect
operations, process, and equipment
problems before they even occur,
so you can move from reactive to
proactive and profitable plant
operations.

The DeltaV system’s unique
flexible field architecture delivers
I/O on demand–providing 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.
Electronic Marshalling
made easy
Electronic Marshalling makes
design easier and more forgiving,
because any input value can be
read by any DeltaV controller
regardless of where the wiring
is landed.
DeltaV Electronic Marshalling
eliminates the complexity
associated with marshalling field
wiring in a control system.
Electricians can terminate the field
wires on terminal strips in the
same way they have in the past,
but the cross-wiring from the
marshalling panel to I/O cards has
been eliminated. This greatly
simplifies control cabinet design,
installation, and maintenance.
Installation of Electronic
Marshalling is intuitive and easy,
because it is similar to existing
methods for terminating field
wiring. No special training or
expertise is needed to terminate
wiring on the terminal blocks. An
integrated “knife-edge”
disconnect eliminates the worry
over accidentally induced faults
during hot cutovers and
maintenance.
Increased robustness
Troubleshooting of installation
issues can be done on a channel-
by-channel basis, because
problems are isolated to a single
channel–providing increased
robustness.
Because each analog CHARM
comes fully equipped with the
ability to read HART v7 data,
intelligent field devices can be
monitored and quickly diagnosed
around the clock. In addition HART
data access is quicker with CHARMs
than with traditional I/O cards.
Redundancy ensures reliability:
nRedundant CHARM I/O card
nRedundant communications
between CHARMS and the
CHARM I/O card
nRedundant power between
CHARM I/O card to each CHARM
nRedundant network com-
munications between CHARM
I/O cards and controllers.
Electronic Marshalling
Tight project schedules with
changing requirements during
design and implementation are a
way of life. DeltaV Electronic
Marshalling lets you land field
cabling wherever you want,
regardless of signal type or
control strategy.
With Electronic Marshalling, each
terminal block has a channel
characterization module, or
CHARM, which includes signal
characterization for different types
of I/O. Field wiring of any signal
type can be terminated anywhere
and characterized by the various
CHARMs. A digital communication
bus runs along the terminal strip to
send device signal information to
the top, the redundant CHARM I/O
card, a redundant 96 channel
based multipurpose I/O card,
where I/O conditioning is
completed.
Flexibility to give you the I/O you want, when you want it, where you want it.

Intrinsically Safe in
hazardous areas
The DeltaV Intrinsically Safe I/O
M-series subsystem provides the
perfect solution for locating I/O in
hazardous areas. The I/O
subsystem connects intrinsically
safe field circuits and field devices
into FM Class I, Division 1, Zone 1,
and Zone 0 hazardous areas for
most standard analog input,
discrete input and discrete
output applications.
With the addition of Intrinsically
Safe CHARMs to the S-series
Electronic Marshalling concept,
field wiring to hazardous areas is
even easier. Field devices located in
FM Class I, Division 1, ATEX or
IECEx Zone 1 or Zone 0 hazardous
areas can now directly be
connected to the flexible IS AI and
IS AO CHARMs, IS DI NAMUR and IS
DO as well to IS RTD and IS
TC CHARMs.

Traditional I/O is a modular
subsystem that offers flexibility
during installation. It’s designed to
be installed in the field near your
devices. Modularity, protection
keys, and plug-and-play
capabilities make DeltaV
traditional I/O a smart choice for
your process control system.
Traditional I/O is available in two
designs–the established M-series
and the S-series. The S-series
incorporates human-centered
design concepts to improve
usability and robustness with the
same proven technology inside.
The exterior hardware design
delivers easier installation and
improved robustness.
Easy snap-in installation
Installation is easy since I/O is
automatically auto-sensed when
added to the system. No-value
engineering is eliminated.
S-series traditional I/O is equipped
with a snap-in retention system for
quick installation and error-free
maintenance.
A guide prevents bent pins and
cards easily snap in to place.
Carriers snap onto the DIN Rail–no
tools required. Snap-in technology
makes cards easy to install with
tight connections every time and
easy to release with a push of
a button.
I/O cards, terminal interfaces and
terminal blocks have I/O function
keys. This ensures the correct I/O
card is always plugged into its
corresponding terminal block.
All wiring is through the carriers
and terminal blocks so that I/O
cards and system power supplies
can easily be removed without
disconnecting any wires.
The DeltaV system supports a full
range of analog, discrete, digital
bus, thermocouple, and RTD field
devices.
Reliable means available
Reliability and increased system
availability are built in throughout
the rugged DeltaV control
hardware. Redundancy options are
available for:

Online addition of new I/O cards
means your process does not get
interrupted. The DeltaV system
enables you to add system
components including controllers,
I/O cards, field devices and
workstations while the system is
powered and running by
autosensing the new component
without the need of presetting an
address. This enables you to
expand and upgrade your system
on-the-fly with no downtime.

Modular design for
added flexibility
Both the S-series and M-series
traditional I/O hardware can co-
exist in the same DeltaV system
with no trade-offs or
incompatibilities.
The modular design lets you buy
the exact number of I/O cards,
8-wide carriers, power/controllers,
and 2-wide carriers you need and
add more DeltaV I/O as your
system grows.
Rugged design for use
anywhere
DeltaV control hardware is built
rugged and flexible to mount
almost anywhere. It is designed for
extreme field installation
conditions, including:
nClass 1 Division 2 areas
nCENELEC Zone 2 areas
nISA-71.04-1985 Airborne
Contaminants Class G3.
All DeltaV traditional I/O cards are
rated for extreme operating
temperature ranges of -40 to 70 °C
(-40 to 158 °F). You can mount the
I/O interface carrier in a junction
box in the field, significantly
reducing your equipment
footprint.
Shared remote I/O is available for

The DeltaV system is the only
system built from the ground up
to unleash the advantages of
FOUNDATION fieldbus. Not an add-
on, not an afterthought, it’s built
to deliver the project and
operational savings of a digital
plant–easy!
Digital busses
The DeltaV system includes other
popular digital communication
busses such as Profibus DP and
DeviceNet for integration of motor
starters and drives. It also includes
AS-i bus for low-cost, simple
installation of discrete devices
such as push-buttons, on/off
valves, and proximity sensors.
The DeltaV system provides native
support for configuring busses
with no need for third-party
configuration tools. Ethernet I/O
devices are easily connected
through a virtual I/O
module (VIM).
With the DeltaV system you have a
wide variety of digital busses from
which to choose, as well as the
world’s best implementation of
HART and Wireless HART to easily
take advantage of the diagnostics
that HART-based intelligent field
devices provide.
FOUNDATION fieldbus (Ff) devices
deliver predictive alerts,
millisecond data capture, validated
data, field-based control,
diagnostics, and asset information
bi-directionally with the DeltaV
system. DeltaV Ff I/O
communicates digitally with field
devices, increases your
input/output capacity, and
provides access to more
information about your process
than conventional I/O subsystems.
DeltaV Ff I/O enhances device
diagnostics that affect your control
strategy and alert operators to
device malfunctions.
Multi-dropping up to 16 devices
on one port reduces your wiring
expenses substantially. The DeltaV
Ff I/O’s integrated design can
eliminate the need for marshalling
panels–saving you even more.
Easy design, installation,
and commissioning
Fieldbus power conditioners are
integrated in the S-series H1
interface card. This eliminates
difficult segment power design,
installation, and troubleshooting.
The additional cabinet footprint
associated with use of external Ff
segment power supplies
is eliminated.
FOUNDATION fieldbus devices are
auto-sensed when connected to
the control network and
automatically added to your
configuration. As a result, your
engineering and commissioning
efforts are dramatically reduced.
Improved plant
availability
Benefits include upfront
engineering, installation, and
commissioning savings. Of greater
significance are the ongoing
savings in reducing process
variability, improving quality,
increasing throughput and
avoiding upset conditions that can
limit your production capability.
Reliability and increased system
availability are built in throughout
the rugged DeltaV control
hardware. Card redundancy
options are available for serial,
FOUNDATION fieldbus, HART,
Wireless Hart and Profibus DP.
Digital communications deliver predictive diagnostics for improved operations.

Wireless Field Network
Emerson’s Smart Wireless
solutions provide an interoperable,
adaptive, flexible approach to
wireless. It has been proven in
installations around the globe.
At its heart, a self-organizing
wireless network based on the
globally accepted IEC 62591
(WirelessHART) standard, provides
secure, robust, and reliable
performance.
Reliable
Redundant DeltaV wireless I/O
cards each connected to a Smart
Wireless Field Link, providing a fully
redundant solution for critical
wireless communications that is
reliable enough for control.
The wireless “mesh” continuously
monitors communication paths
for degradation and automatically
improves itself. If an obstruction
occurs, devices will find the best
alternate communication path.
Greater than 99% reliability
is ensured.
Flexible
Many plants are missing important
measurements. Typically, the
measurements and associated
wiring were not easy to add–given
distances, hazardous areas, or path
blockages. WirelessHART devices
and easy DeltaV connectivity open
the path to improved plant
efficiency. AMS Device Manager
with the AMS Wireless SNAP-ONTM
application helps you effectively
plan and monitor your wireless
network for
maximum process
availability. The
DeltaV PID control
algorithm is
specifically designed
to handle
communications
variability from
WirelessHART
instrumentation.
It is ideal for control
applications like level

Page 12–DeltaV System Overview
Safety instrumented systems (SIS)
perform a critical role in providing
safer, more reliable process
operations at your facility. They
also add complexity to your
automation system design,
engineering and maintenance.
And because a safety system is
designed to perform only when an
abnormal situation occurs, it’s
hard to know during day-to-day
operations whether it will perform
reliably when you need it to.
With its proven, IEC 61511-
compliant, separate-but-
integrated architecture, the
DeltaV SIS System increases
visibility for better reliability. And
with the addition of electronic
marshalling and characterization
modules (CHARMs), Emerson
dramatically reduces SIS
complexity.
Electronic marshalling,
SIS CHARMs
Electronic marshalling simplifies
the design, installation, wiring and
commissioning of any SIS project
while at the same time increasing
capacity and reducing footprint.
Based on human centered design
(HCD) principles, the DeltaV SIS
CHARMs logic solver architecture
eliminates the need for
conventional marshalling.
That simplifies both your
installation and
commissioning processes.
The system can be
implemented as a standalone
SIS solution, natively
integrated as part of a DeltaV
installation, or connected to
any DCS. This flexibility can
simplify the design,
implementation, and
operation of any safety
system.
Optimized reliability
Based on industry research,
over 85% of all faults in SIS
applications occur in field
instruments and control
elements. That’s why it’s critical to
consider the entire safety
instrumented function (SIF)–from
sensor, to logic solver, to final
element–as a complete entity.
The DeltaV SIS system helps you to
improve your process safety by
continuously monitoring and
diagnosing the ability of the
sensors, logic solvers, and final
elements to perform on demand as
required. To increase your process
availability, the DeltaV SIS system
detects component failures and
keeps you running when other
systems might shut you down.
The use of digital intelligence and
predictive diagnostics increases
system availability while reducing
life cycle costs by providing:
nHealth diagnostics to detect
device failures
nDevice alerts for quick action
nAutomatic partial stroke testing
nAutomated proof testing
nIntegrated, comprehensive
documentation tools.
Increased visibility into
your process
The DeltaV SIS system’s integrated
architecture meets IEC 61511
requirements for separation of
safety and control—with dedicated
safety hardware, software and
networks; and integrated
configuration, operations, and
maintenance with the DeltaV
Separate control and safety.
Integrated operations, engineering and maintenance.
I/O on Demand Ultimate Scalability Embedded
Intelligent Control
system. Yet it provides unmatched
visibility into your process by
enabling direct access to all SIS
information across the entire
safety loop.
Flexibility to meet your
process needs
The DeltaV SIS system provides a
unique modular, distributed
architecture that is based on a
safety instrumented function
approach to logic solving. The
modular architecture eliminates a
single point of failure, while the
distributed architecture enables
implementation of complex logic
across multiple logic solvers. This
optimum architecture simplifies
change management and enables
the system to be custom fit for SIS
applications.
The DeltaV SIS system is
IEC 61508 certified for use in
SIL 3 applications.
The modular logic solver hardware
scales in sizes of 96 configurable
I/O; therefore, memory and CPU
are added with each logic solver.
For further flexibility, the I/O mix is
configurable and can be located
remotely. And the system can be
as large as your application
requires –30,000 I/O.
Physical separation and
independence
The DeltaV SIS system provides
key safety functionality that is
independent of the DeltaV basic
process control system. Separate
safety hardware features include a
unique logic solver, independent
operating system, and diverse
advanced safety function blocks.
Additionally, the power supply and
communication networks are
dedicated and independent for the
DeltaV SIS hardware. For added
protection, the DeltaV Controller
acts as a firewall between the SIS
logic solvers and the control
network.
Integrated engineering,
operations and maintenance
The DeltaV SIS platform seamlessly
integrates with the DeltaV system
to provide a comprehensive
process safety solution that
leverages your automation
investment.
nIntegrated engineering provides
all of the capabilities that make
the DeltaV system easy. It
eliminates the time wasted to
maintain data mapping and
handshaking between the
control and safety systems.
nIntegrated operations ensure
that personnel are quickly
notified of alarms and can easily
access safety information in a
familiar environment.
nIntegrated AMS Device Manager
provides comprehensive asset
capabilities for SIS components
that are critical to safe
operations.
nIntegrated historian provides
comprehensive event collection
and reporting with time
synchronization.
Reduced engineering
and complexity
The DeltaV SIS advanced function
blocks deliver powerful
functionality out of the box, and
simplify the implementation of
complex SIS applications. A full
pallet of IEC 61508 certified
function blocks is built to the IEC
61131-3 function block standard,
making safety logic development
intuitive and easy. Simple drag-
and-drop configuration process
requires no custom programming.
Simplified configuration with less
complexity reduces your lifecycle
costs and process risks.
Simplified regulatory
compliance
The DeltaV SIS system is built from
the ground up to simplify
regulatory compliance, eliminating
your concerns related to proper
implementation. The engineering
tools enforce good practices, so
special restrictions need not be
considered when configuring the
system. Simplified IEC 61511
compliance is provided by:
nChange management of safety
logic and field device
configuration and calibration
nSecurity management, including
authorization of online trip point
or bypass changes
nSecure write mechanism for
repeat confirmation of online
changes
nAutomatic logging of system
events and diagnostics faults
nAutomated workflow for proof-
testing field devices.

Process control applications come
in many different sizes and levels of
complexity. It’s critical to have an
architecture built to support this
required scalability, or you end up
with multiple, isolated, difficult-to-
integrate solutions.
Scalability starts at the field device
level. Technologies like
WirelessHART and its self-
organizing wireless
communications help you scale
your instrumentation device by
device, and area by area within
your plant. AMS Device Manager
captures and delivers predictive
diagnostics from all of these
devices, as well as your HART,
FOUNDATION fieldbus and Profibus
DP devices–even across multiple
DeltaV systems.
Scales to fit
The DeltaV architecture scales in
size from as small as 25 I/O. Yet, by
integrating I/O through open
interfaces, scaling to more than
one million I/O is possible. No
matter how small or how large
your application is, the DeltaV
system scales to fit.
DeltaV Zones segment the
systems to ensure flexible
operation and expansions with
enhanced system performance.
Maintenance or commissioning
activities can be performed in each
zone without impacting other
zones. Also, to more easily manage
software upgrades based
on process criticality, each system
can operate using different DeltaV
software revisions, and still share
data across zones.
To meet the challenges of your
process operations, the scalable
DeltaV system expands online,
without redesign, and with the
existing software–no upgrade
required.
Application scalability
The DeltaV system scales in
functionality to provide you with
the tools you need for your process
control application. With a
common set of engineering tools
and a common database, it
provides a single platform and
eliminates the typical headaches
associated with integration. You
have the flexibility to add
advanced control, or batch, or
safety instrumented functions
as needed.
No matter your application’s size,
all hardware components are the
same–the engineering tools are
the same, operations and
maintenance applications are the
same. The result? Less training,
fewer spares, and easier
operations.
Easily fits applications of any size.

DeltaV embedded intelligent
control provides you a full array of
applications including enhanced
PID control, automatic variability
inspection, tuning, fuzzy logic
control, model predictive control,
and neural networks. Never before
has a control system provided a full
suite of embedded advanced
control applications that enable
you to get the most from your
plant, with the least amount
of effort.
Advanced control–easy
DeltaV embedded intelligent
control enables you to quickly
deploy state-of-the-art control
technologies without the
implementation and maintenance
problems associated with
traditional advanced control
systems. Designed for the average
control system engineer, advanced
control has never been easier.
With embedded intelligent
control, advanced applications can
be implemented with minimal
configuration and maintenance
because all the technology and
tools are inherently integrated
with the DeltaV system. No data
mapping is required. It is not an
add-on, it is part of the
DeltaV system.
DeltaV advanced control
applications are built as part of the
same, easy-to-learn and -use
environment as standard
regulatory control. PID, Fuzzy,
Predict, and Neural function
blocks are all available for you to
drag and drop from the Control
Studio pallet–it’s that easy!
Continuously adapting to changing conditions helps optimize your plant.

How do you know if your loops
are 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.
Page 17–DeltaV System Overview
Intelligent control also makes life
easier for your operators.
More robust control means that
your operators are less likely to
operate in manual mode.
Automatic control with reduced
variability gives your operators less
to worry about, so they can focus
on other important operating
activities.
Reliable information
increases availability
You cannot have sustainable
advanced control unless you have
a strong foundation–built on
healthy devices and reliable field
information. The DeltaV system
uses validated data and equipment
health information from intelligent
field assets to ensure the right
control action is taken, preventing
unwanted shutdowns when an
asset fails.
All DeltaV intelligent control
functions run in the DeltaV
controller, including advanced
control algorithms. This ensures
that critical strategies run in a
rugged, high-speed, optionally
redundant environment.
Online adaptability
Changing process conditions
require a control system to quickly
adapt and take corrective action to
prevent unsafe or sub-optimal
operations. Reliable measure-
ments and intelligent control
strategies provide accurate and
flexible control during changing
process conditions and
market demand.
Intelligent field devices that
provide diagnostic
information ensure the
regulatory and advanced
control algorithms are
working with good data and
that corrective action can be
taken in the case of questionable
or bad data.
The DeltaV system’s embedded
intelligent control provides the
ability to quickly adapt to
changing process conditions and
the flexibility to confidently
respond to changing market
demand. Embedded learning
algorithms identify control
problems and provide continuous
adaptive control to automatically
adapt to changing process
conditions. Model predictive
control and optimization go one
step further to continuously
monitor process and economic
conditions to ensure optimal plant
performance within operating
constraints.
The embedded DeltaV intelligent
control applications are designed
for you to use on a broad array of
control challenges, enabling you to
develop the right control
strategies for your plant, at a
fraction of the traditional cost–
what you want, when you want it,
where you want it.
Preventing hazardous
consequences
By reducing process variability and
adapting to changing conditions,
embedded intelligent control
keeps your process running
smooth and within safe limits. This
helps prevent unwanted
shutdowns or hazardous
consequences that may otherwise
result from abnormal situations
such as process disturbances,
upsets, and unplanned events.
The DeltaV system
outperforms all
others–even for
basic PID control.

control, the DeltaV system has
more capability than other DCSs
and PLCs.
DeltaV InSight
DeltaV software provides the tools
to monitor, analyze and tune
control loops for peak
performance. DeltaV InSight,
inherently integrated into the
system, instantly identifies under-
performing control loops,
enabling you to reduce process
variability and increase the
efficiency of your operation. It can
be used to commission and
automatically tune both PID
and Fuzzy blocks. There is no
setup or configuration required,
because InSight automatically
recognizes function blocks as they
are configured.
DeltaV Adapt
DeltaV Adapt continuously adjusts
PID tuning for optimal control as
process conditions change. In
addition to calculating new
tuning, DeltaV Adapt also
remembers the best tuning from
the last time it was controlling in
the same operating region. And
best of all, DeltaV Adapt can be
applied to any PID loop in the
control system–without control
configuration changes.
DeltaV Fuzzy
DeltaV Fuzzy offers a practical,
field-proven substitute for PID
control for processes that may
benefit from non-linear control
action. Using an embedded fuzzy
logic control algorithm with
automated loop tuning requires
no special expertise in fuzzy logic.
DeltaV Fuzzy is robust and
provides superior performance
over PID control in many cases,
providing faster response to set
point changes or load
disturbances without overshoot.
Benchmark tests have shown loop
performance improvement of 30-
40% over traditional PID.
Optimized loops–all the time.

Demands on operators continue to
increase as their span of control
increases and as technology
advances create more information
to digest. It’s more critical than
ever to start from the operators
perspective; to streamline and
focus their view into the process,
especially in abnormal plant
situations.
Human-centered design
Emerson founded the Human
Centered Design Institute and is a
key participant in the Center for
Operator Performance, an
operator-focused, human factors
research consortium whose
members include academics,
engineering and automation
suppliers, and process manu-
facturers. Improved DeltaV
Operate and AMS Suite software
usability emerged out of this
extensive research and human
centered design approach. The
results include easily seen alarms
at a glance, faster abnormal
situation recognition, and intuitive
views of loop deviations.
The operator experience begins
with color-scale graphics, which
provide subdued colors to make
the bright colors associated with
alarms and abnormal conditions
stand out. Based on the ISA S18
alarm standard, operator-centric
alarm help is available to provide
immediate in-context access to
allow response time, probable
cause and operator instruction.
These can include equipment
protection and prediction through
integrated machinery monitoring,
environmental protection,
product quality and process
efficiency.
Fast access
DeltaV Operate gives operators
easy, one-click access to alarm
summaries, faceplates, trends,
display navigation, and on-line
help. Unlike pieced-together
automation solutions, the built-in,
one-click access capability makes
the DeltaV system easy to learn
and use. As a result, operator
training costs are typically reduced
by 50% compared to other
automation solutions.
DeltaV Flexlock provides the
application accessibility that is
appropriate for personnel’s job
function and skill level.
AMS Device Manager provides
detailed alert information from
DeltaV operator faceplates.
Detailed troubleshooting
information is available in the
Audit Trail records and through
applications such as AMS
ValveLinkTM SNAP-ON application.
Easy alarm analysis
DeltaV Analyze, which is based on
the ISA S18 and EEMUA 191 alarm
metric standards, simplifies alarm
analysis. It allows you to quickly
spot which areas and modules
have the most alarms in a given
time period by connecting
embedded historical alarms and
events from the DeltaV Event
Chronicle or Plant Event Historian.
You can also zero in on the types of
recurring alarms and their
frequency to help get to the root
cause and its solution.
DeltaV diagnostics
As a key component of the
PlantWeb digital plant
architecture, DeltaV diagnostics
extend not only to the system
components, but beyond–to
cyber-security and intelligent
device and machinery monitoring
diagnostics with AMS Suite
software. Diagnostics from
FOUNDATION fieldbus, Profibus DP,
DeviceNet, HART, WirelessHART,
and smart switches are easily
incorporated into control
strategies and operator graphics to
reduce abnormal situations and
provide rapid decision support to
normalize the process.

Increasingly stringent regulations
require manufacturers to provide
comprehensive documentation of
their process. DeltaV
Configuration Audit Trail is a
powerful tool that tracks changes
and manages revision information
for any item in the DeltaV
configuration database, including
Safety Instrumented System (SIS)
items. This application creates and
maintains a configuration change
history for configuration items,
such as modules, SIS modules,
phases, operations, unit
procedures, user accounts, and
operator graphics–simplifying
configuration management and
regulatory compliance.
Easy to track changes
Comprehensive version control of
a configuration item is
automatically tracked and
updated. The new version is time-
stamped and a history comment
can be recorded when the item is
checked back in. Embedded
reporting tools give users the
ability to print configuration
change histories for any item in
the configuration database.
By keeping detailed historical
information on configuration
items, the system automatically
maintains quality data for
regulatory compliance
requirements and trouble-
shooting. Configuration Audit Trail
is tightly integrated with the
DeltaV configuration tools, such as
Explorer, Control Studio, Recipe
Studio and Graphics Configuration.
DeltaV administrative tools allow
the Configuration Audit Trail
database and the DeltaV database
to be backed up together in one
operation. It is also possible to
archive and restore versions of
items in the audit trail database.
Ensure authorized
configuration changes
The DeltaV security system
provides the ability to grant
privileges to individual users.
Items may be checked out for
editing only by approved users.
Ensure compliance

provides comprehensive
electronic signature capability
during process operations. Any
actions taken can be configured to
require a confirmation in which
the user name and password is
needed to execute, as well as an
additional verifying user name and
password if required.
Inherent change management simplifies regulatory compliance.
Configuration Audit Trail and Version Management automatically collects revision information–
viewed in either graphical or text-based formats.

Security is an important element
of any control system especially
today when viruses and other
sophisticated threats are on the
rise. Following the industry
standard defense-in-depth layered
security strategy, the DeltaV built-
in security ensures that you have
the appropriate security measures
installed and implemented. The
DeltaV system provides easy,
flexible, system-wide security
management–right out of
the box.
Built-in security
The DeltaV system was developed
with system security as a key
design criterion. To safeguard your
assets and ensure controlled
access, the DeltaV system delivers
the security capabilities you need
as part of the standard features.
nThe DeltaV control network
architecture inherently creates a
separate control system network
completely segmented from other
networks in the plant, delivering a
protected system from
unauthorized external access.
nThe DeltaV system
automatically applies the latest
operating system hardening
templates to create a more secure
workstation. Hardening disables
unused system services and blocks
access to DVD drives and USB
ports to help prevent the
introduction of viruses and
malware from portable media.
nUsing the integrated DeltaV User
Manager and our role-based
security key, it’s easy to create
users with the appropriate access
to system functions and span of
control in the process. The User
Manager automatically creates the
Windows user as you create the
DeltaV user so coordinating
Windows and DeltaV user security
is never a problem. The DeltaV
roles allow you to easily create
users with “least privilege” to
follow best practice user security
management.
nThe easy-to-implement Emerson
Smart Firewall creates a more
secure system perimeter to help
protect your system from
unauthorized access by people or
applications on external LANs.
nPlug-and-play DeltaV Smart
Switches provide auto port
lockdown from our Smart Switch
Command Center to prevent
unauthorized access to the
network from switch ports.
nThe DeltaV Event Journal tracks
system events, alarms and user
activities to provide tracking and
auditing of security-related events
on the system–including attempts
to connect to locked smart
switches.
nAll DeltaV network devices have
to authenticate as part of system
configuration as they connect to
the system. They must be
recognized as a valid DeltaV device
before they can participate in
control communications on
the network.
nAll routine system maintenance
and troubleshooting is done from
secured DeltaV workstations so
physical access to equipment is
not required. This reduces security
risks, as no unsecured external
equipment is required to service
the system. No open network
ports on field equipment are
necessary, so risk of unauthorized
access is eliminated.
Built-in, flexible, system-wide security safeguards your assets.
Who made that change?
Starting up a large manufacturing facility can be stressful–often
there is too much to do and too little time. An inherent change
management system can help eliminate pressure and improve
productivity. DeltaV system changes are made by authorized
personnel and are automatically tracked and approved as needed.
The result is up-to-date documentation that supports regulatory
compliance requirements. Made a mistake? No problem. The
database can be rolled back to a prior version.

embedded in the system and can
easily scale from 250 to 30,000
historical items. Since it’s fully
integrated with the DeltaV
system, it’s easy to start collecting
information and maintain it. No
data mapping or non-value
engineering is required.
DeltaV regulatory and advanced
control applications including
model predictive control and
neural networks use the historical
information and its associated
status. For higher availability and
robustness, these applications can
automatically detect when the
item status is not good, alerting
the operator or application that
data is suspect.
Event Chronicle
The Event Chronicle captures all
system events, such as operator
changes, control module
installations, alarms, sequence of
events and changes in device
status. For each event, information
such as who made a change and
when the change occurred
is recorded.
The DeltaV system is designed to
capture data values and their
associated time stamps at the
lowest possible level in the system,
providing you with a more
accurate picture of the alarms and
events as they occur. The Event
Chronicle receives these time
stamps and events and makes
them available to the operator for
easy viewing and troubleshooting.
Multiple Event Chronicles can be
used in the DeltaV system to
collect events from different plant
areas or from the same plant areas
for added data availability and
High resolution, high fidelity historical data helps optimize your process.

robustness. Since the events are
time stamped in the DeltaV
controller, multiple Event
Chronicles will always have
consistent time stamps.
Plantwide Event
Historian
Beyond the boundaries of your
DeltaV system, the Plantwide
Event Historian captures and
displays event data such as alarms,
operator actions, system events,
and sequences of events from
DeltaV and third-party automation
systems throughout the
entire plant.
History View Software
Suite
The DeltaV History View Software
Suite is the window into your
operation’s continuous, event, and
batch data. It provides easy access
to real-time and historical trend
monitoring–with seamless
movement between the two. A
single view integrates real-time
and historical data, including
continuous and event data.
Process engineers can more easily
see how user changes have
impacted the process through
these views of real-time and
historical data. Embedded
historical trends are available in
DeltaV Operate that enable
operators to quickly scan the
direction and magnitude of
process changes before
taking action.
History Analysis
History Analysis is a web-based
historian client application that
allows you to view DeltaV
historical data from any computer
running Microsoft Internet
Explorer–from anywhere in the
world. History Analysis has access
to DeltaV historical batch,
continuous, and event data, and it
integrates the DeltaV historical
data in a single, easy-to-use client
application. History Analysis also
provides an intuitive data search
engine to make it easy for users to
find just the right data. Once the
data is found and evaluated, you
can save the data view or export
the data for further analysis.
DeltaV Reporter
The DeltaV system comes with
DeltaV Reporter–an Excel-based
historical data reporting and
analysis tool available on any
workstation. Use DeltaV Reporter
to populate a spreadsheet with
historical process and event data.
Once in the spreadsheet, use the
power of Excel to view, analyze,
and create reports on the data.
DeltaV Reporter also enables you
to easily add historical data
collected from outside the DeltaV
system, such as laboratory data.
This historical data includes status
information, is saved in the
historical database, and is available
for viewing and reporting with the
rest of the continuous data.
Historical data anywhere
With the DeltaV OPC History
Server, OPC Event Server, OPC .NET
and History Web Service, you can
extend the wealth of historical
data to other data historians such
as OSIsoft’s PI and web service-
based client applications. Using
these industry standard interfaces,
the DeltaV system can deliver
information to other systems,
applications or users on the plant
local area network or across the
Internet. Through an intuitive web
browser-based client, powerful
local history clients and easy-to-
use and secure historical data
interfaces, the DeltaV system
enables your experts to quickly

The DeltaV system architecture is
based on the ISA88 Batch
Standard. Whether it is the
physical model, procedural model,
or easy-to-use class-based
configuration—the DeltaV system
is “built-for-batch.
Like the rest of the DeltaV system,
DeltaV Batch fully supports
compliance with the FDA’s 21 CFR
Part 11 requirements with recipe
and campaign management,
batch history, automatic version
control and change management,
and electronic signature support.
DeltaV Batch is a complete suite
of products supporting all
components of the ISA88 Control
Activity Model. All batch control
logic for a unit, including phases, is
executed in the DeltaV controllers.
The same intuitive, drag-and-drop
user interface used throughout the
system makes it easy to configure
your recipes. Batch data is entered
once into the same common
global system database–no data
mapping is needed.
The Batch Executive is the batch
engine which coordinates all batch
processing activity, creates
detailed batch history records and
schedules recipes and resources.
Recipe Studio is a powerful yet
simple-to-use application for
graphically configuring recipes
and formulas for successful batch
production.
The Campaign Manager creates
and manages campaigns by
specifying the recipe, formula,
equipment, and number of
batches that are to be run within
the campaign. A web service
enables external applications to
programmatically interact with
the Campaign Manager.
The Batch Historian automatically
collects and displays recipe
execution data from the DeltaV
Batch Executive and process
management event data from the
DeltaV Event Chronicle. The
History Analysis application
enables web-based access to
recipe event and continuous
historian information for anyone,
anywhere.
Recipe Exchange provides an
open, programmatic interface to
the DeltaV recipe management
system. Recipe Exchange is based
on an XML schema that provides
the ability to use web services to
import and export DeltaV recipes.
Batch Analytics detects faults and
predicts end-of-batch quality in
real time using multi-variate
models based on historical batch
data. Operations is presented with
reasons for deviations so that they
can take action before a batch
requires rework or lost.
Easier batch operations
From recipe scheduling to real-
time fault detection and end of
batch quality prediction; from
simple sequencing to multi-stream
formulations; from operator
prompts to automatic unit
selection, the DeltaV system makes
your batch operations easy.
DeltaV Batch is inherently
integrated with the DeltaV system.
In DeltaV Operate, your operators
have easy access to all batch
information in a single, integrated
environment. And batch records
are automatically collected for easy
regulatory compliance.
DeltaV Batch provides batch

box because the ISA88 batch
hierarchy is built into the
DeltaV system.
When used with Emerson’s
Syncade Smart Operations
Management suite, DeltaV Batch
offers a comprehensive operations
management solution to optimize
work processes plant-wide.
Reliability is built in
Every batch is run as a separate
process in the Batch Executive. As
a result, batch failure is isolated
from impacting other batches.
DeltaV Batch provides redundancy
at all levels of execution–reducing
process shutdowns and
eliminating risk of lost batches.
Online upgrades are supported for
systems with redundancy, thus
minimizing the impact on
production, and making it easy to
stay current with the latest
technology available.
Redundancy is available for the
DeltaV controller, Batch Executive,
and Campaign Manager, providing
robustness for unit, process, and
recipe execution.
Flexibility for agile
manufacturing
During recipe execution, DeltaV
Batch provides flexibility for agile
manufacturing to meet real-time
demands and captures
comprehensive records for
regulatory compliance. Class-
based configuration and recipe
management deliver repeatability.
DeltaV Batch enables recipe
changes and equipment selections
on-the-fly. Support for dynamic
unit selection, automatic unit
selection, unit aliasing, and
equipment trains delivers:
nbetter support for flexible
manufacturing
nimproved process equipment
failure handling
nreduced risk of equipment
selection errors.
Know when, where and
why changes are made
To meet your regulatory
compliance requirements, the
DeltaV system integrates change
management into your process
automation. This Configuration
Audit Trail provides a complete
version-to-version comparison,
including not only what changed,
but who made the change, when,
where and why.
DeltaV function-based security
lets you control who can perform
batch tasks in the system.
Examples include restricting
operator access to modify recipe
parameter values and starting/
stopping batches and recipes.
DeltaV Batch incorporates
electronic signatures into your
batch processing to support
regulatory compliance
requirements, including FDA 21
CFR Part 11. Any and all actions
taken can be configured to require
a confirm mechanism. A user’s
name and password, along with a
verifying user’s name and
password, if required, are needed
to execute the action.
Facility expansion required to
meet urgent product demand.
A large life science manufacturer needs to
expand an existing facility to meet the urgent
demand for a vaccine. By adding onto the
existing DeltaV system and using the reusable,
standards-based software modules of DeltaV
Batch, the engineers can easily configure the
added equipment– saving precious time.
Additionally, complete redundancy of the
system, from control to recipe level, gives the
manufacturer a robust system that will not
cause process shutdowns. End result: faster
product to market.
An integrated engineering and operations environment
makes it easy to control your batch processes.

By using the latest technology and
adhering to industry standards,
Syncade Smart Operations
Management suite provides a
modular, manufacturing IT
solution to increase manufacturing
performance by managing
resources, optimizing operations,
integrating information,
simplifying regulatory compliance,
and improving material logistics
management.
Resource Management
reduces variability
Syncade suite helps you effectively
manage resources and allows you
to do more with less. By
scheduling and tracking
equipment usage, Syncade suite
can increase manufacturing
capacity. It can reduce waste and
rework by optimizing material
usage and eliminating the use of
outdated material. Syncade suite
replaces paper equipment records
with electronic logbooks that
guide operators through manual
processes and enable easy access
to support documents– resulting
in improved productivity.
Additionally, personnel training
and qualifications can be verified in
real time to ensure proper
authorization.
Optimized Operations
improves efficiency
Syncade suite manages workflow
across plant functions to assure
“right-first-time” production.
Coordinating manual and
automated processes enables your
plant personnel to make the most
of their time. Syncade suite
provides a single recipe /
procedures that adheres to ISA88 /
ISA95 standards–reducing
engineering efforts by enabling
modular, reusable software
libraries. Forced electronic
procedures or work instructions
that guide the operator and
provide access to reference
documentation (such as SOPs and
MSDS) can eliminate errors and
ensure that accurate data is
collected and omissions are
flagged during production.
Integrated information
supports better decisions
Many manufacturing facilities use
numerous systems that don’t
often communicate with each
other, resulting in an inefficient use
of time and resources.
Smart Data. Smart Decisions with SyncadeTM Suite.
Recipe Authoring provides a quick way to create
integrated orders and recipes–using standardized
libraries, modular building block construction and
drag-and-drop design tools.

Syncade suite enables easy
communication between business
and manufacturing systems. It
helps improve productivity by
enabling interdependent activities
to be effectively synchronized
while eliminating duplicate efforts
or manual data entry. By validating
data and putting it in relative
context for consumption by users
and other applications, Syncade
suite creates the information for
collaboration and improved
decision-making. Syncade suite
can automatically create
manufacturing orders with
automated downloads from the
enterprise resource planning (ERP)
system. Using Syncade suite as a
single engine tool to gather all
your data needs from the
manufacturing process, you can
streamline your process and

Syncade suite is easy to use,
integrate and maintain because
it’s built on industry standard OPC
and .NET-based web services.
Syncade suite synchronizes your
key business and plant floor
systems for total knowledge
management.
Quality and Compliance
simplifies document
management and reduces
errors
Efficiently managing documents
saves time and money.
Documentation is a necessity of
effective operations and includes
many types of documents. These
documents support a wide array of
audiences, such as operations,
maintenance, and quality, and
convey various types of
information, such as production
records, SOPs, order forms, and lab
reports. The development, change
management, and approval of
documentation can be inefficient
and time consuming.
Syncade suite provides
comprehensive document
management including online
storage, change control, review
and approval routing, version
management, and archiving. In
addition, user groups and
privileges provide security to
ensure proper access and
authorization.
Movement management
optimizes storage tank
and terminal operations
Increasing tank farm and terminal
agility in the face of constant
customer and operational changes
can significantly improve terminal
and tank farm revenue and profits.
Eliminating potential problems
before they can contaminate
refined products is key. Procecure
errors like routing material
through the wrong pipe or not
setting a line-up correctly or even
completing a proper line flush
unnecessarily can all negatively
impact the product and inevitably
will time and money to recover.
Syncade suite provides a flexible,
integrated logistics solution for
marine, rail, and truck terminals.
These include real-time planning
and scheduling tools, route
selection optimization, integrated
inventory reconciliation, and
comprehensive reporting /
auditing of all custody transfer
activity.
Missed information can result
in lost or reworked batches.
The batch is complete. The records are
collected. Then it becomes obvious that data
is missing from the batch record. If only
operations became aware of this omission
before the batch progressed to the next step!
Syncade suite enables comprehensive
production records to be generated in real
time–flagging omissions or inaccurate data
during processing, as well as enabling review
by exception. This functionality speeds batch
release time and improves manufacturing
performance.

At the heart of your production
process is your process auto-
mation system. Its ability to easily
connect up, down, and sideways
with other systems and appli-
cations is critical for providing an
information-sharing, collaborative
environment. The DeltaV system
provides many data integration
options with its open, inter-
operable standards-based
technologies such as serial, OPC
Classic, OPC .NET 3.0, high-speed
Ethernet, SQL, XML and
web services.
Ethernet and serial
device connectivity
Simplifying integration with your
plant subsystems, the DeltaV
virtual I/O module (VIM) connects
through Ethernet using Modbus
TCP and Ethernet/IP protocols.
With redundancy, this external
data can be robustly integrated
into your control strategies.
Making integration easy,
Ethernet device configuration
may be bulk loaded into DeltaV
control strategies to reduce
engineering efforts.
Serial communications using
MODBUS RTU/ASCII protocols also
makes integration with other
systems easy, by connecting your
legacy DCSs and PLCs to the
DeltaV system.
OPC and OPC .NET 3.0
Open and interoperable OPC
communications have served the
process industries well for over a
decade as a way to connect servers
of data with a multitude of
valuable clients. This standard
supports real-time and historical
data access as well as alarm/event
data access. Cyber-security
concerns and increased use of
firewalls around the automation
system’s perimeter have created
problems with network distributed
OPC communications –until now.
OPC .NET 3.0 (formerly known as
Express Interface (Xi)) is a new data
communications interface
developed by diverse process
automation suppliers to meet
customer needs for a secure,
reliable and standard way to
exchange data between the
automation system and the
enterprise. OPC connectivity
provides secure, robust, firewall-
friendly data access to real-time
and historical process data, as well
as real-time alarm and event data.
To ease migration to OPC .NET
from current OPC classic systems,
OPC .NET can directly interface to
existing OPC Data Access, OPC
Historical Data Access and OPC
Alarms & Events clients and servers
to deliver a secure data
communication path even on
legacy systems. In addition,
OPC .NET provides process
manufacturers a migration path to
the OPC Unified Architecture (UA)
as needed. OPC .NET is based on
Windows Communication
Foundation (WCF), the latest
communications technology from
Microsoft, enabling both fast and
efficient data communications
between 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 changes
are made to the DCS configuration means that
two tasks must be performed, one in each
system, likely by two different people. This
creates significant coordination costs and often
results in quality problems when errors are
made or changes are lost.
Now with DeltaV XML-based bi-directional SPI-
integration, data exchange and
synchronization in both directions is
accomplished with only a few clicks of the
mouse. You can enter it once and be done.
It’s that easy!

reliable data communications
through firewalls and to non-
Windows systems.
OPC .NET also facilitates the
development of visually stunning
client applications using Windows
Presentation Foundation (WPF),
Microsoft’s next generation user-
interface development platform.
SQL
Connecting upwards with
transactional, planning-based
systems often requires SQL
database connectivity. DeltaV
alarms, events, and batch history
data are stored in an
SQL-server database
and available to
applications like
operations
management systems,
enterprise planning
systems and other
decision support
systems requiring
access to information
from the process.
This well-known, well-
proven, easily-
adaptable standard
supports the data
requirements for your
workflow processes.
Web Services
Many process manufacturers want
to integrate their control and
business systems to more
efficiently run their organization,
but existing solutions may not be
flexible or secure enough to meet
the demands of these systems.
Service Oriented Architecture
(SOA) provides a way to address
these requirements. It’s a
standards-based design approach
to create an integrated IT
infrastructure and agile, loosely
coupled dynamic applications
capable of rapidly responding to
changing business needs.
Web services use specific
standards and language protocols
to execute an SOA approach. The
DeltaV system provides an SOA
approach to ISA95 Level 3 and
Level 4 data integration with
DeltaV Web Services for batch
recipe creation and batch
execution scheduling data. The
DeltaV SOA Gateway with DeltaV
Web Services provides a highly-
secure, authenticated means of
communications between the
DeltaV system and plant planning
and execution applications.
The DeltaV OPC .NET interface provides a
secure, firewall-friendly data communi-
cations path between the DeltaV system
and the enterprise.

For more than ten years,
commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)
technologies have provided
tremendous increases in
functionality and cost advantages
to end-users of today’s automation
systems. The DeltaV system was
the first of this kind and continues
to provide open, proven products
to its user base.
However, while COTS has provided
many advantages, it has also come
with a price–increased adminis-
tration and life-cycle costs
requirements. A better approach is
to take advantage of the cost
benefits and open standards of
COTS, but to add functionality that
allows the equipment to function
much more like other parts of the
system (plug-and-play capability,
full life-cycle support without
upgrades, security built in, etc.)
We call this balance “built for
purpose”, and the DeltaV system is
the first automation system to
address this critical need in many
of the most important facets of
the system.
Built for security
To help you address challenges
created by using COTS, security is
integrated throughout the DeltaV
system architecture. DeltaV Smart
Switches are treated as DeltaV
switches and are fully
preconfigured for purpose. Alerts
and diagnostics from these devices
are integrated with other
maintenance alerts so your
maintenance staff, not your IT
staff, can quickly address any issues.
DeltaV Smart Switches come
completely preconfigured to plug
and play in the DeltaV network
with no additional configuration or
trouble-shooting required. To
prevent physical intrusion on the
control network, you can
automatically lock down unused
switch ports with a single
mouse click.
A perimeter firewall is an
important security element that
protects your control system from
security risks from outside the
control network. The Emerson
Smart Firewall provides a built-for-
purpose, easy-to-implement
firewall that allows plant
operations to implement and
manage their system perimeter
security without the need for
firewall or security expertise.
On your control network, DeltaV
Controller Firewalls provide an
additional layer of protection for
further protection of your
control hardware.
Security extends up to the
enterprise applications through
OPC .NET and web services
providing two-way, authenticated
communications for historical
process data control, and
advanced control data, alarms and
events, and batch-based
information. Unlike other
automation systems, the data
includes status information from
the intelligent field devices.
Instead of wondering if critical
business decision-making
information coming from the
automation system is accurate–
the quality of the data comes
along with the data.
AMS Device Manager integrates
with the DeltaV software to
provide common security and
confidence in the operation of your
field assets.
Designed for ease of use in your most demanding applications.
