Three Demonstrations with a Common
Thread
• Three demonstration units with
three different host systems:
Emerson, Invensys Yokogawa
• Devices from Beka, Emerson,
Invensys, Westlock, MTL/Cooper,
Pepperl+Fuchs, Siemens,
Yokogawa, Smar, Topworx, Stahl,
and Phoenix Contact and more.
• Each unit shares a common
segment to highlight the fact that
FOUNDATION fieldbus is an
interoperable standard that
provides ease of use.
• Demonstrations follow the plant
lifecycle from FEED to operations
and maintenance

We Have Already Reached the Digital
Age: Will Process Industries Catch Up?
• The rest of the world went digital a long time ago; from the telephone
networks to your TV, it is universally acknowledged that digital networks give
you better access to data, better data manageability, and more bandwidth.
• Yes, digital networks need to be managed somewhat differently from
conventional analog technology, but in most cases, the initial investment in
training is minimal.
• NEW GENERATION of workers are more familiar and comfortable with digital
technology.

• Take a lifecycle perspective
• Many users focus on the installation and
commissioning phase and achieving fast
startup
• Don’t ignore operations and maintenance
domain
• One phase of the lifecycle affects the next.
Adopting a Lifecycle Perspective Helps
you Realize the Benefits

The Importance of Early Involvement in
the FEED Phase
• The Success of Your Operations & Maintenance Strategy
Depends on the FEED Phase
• Fieldbus and its impact should be considered in this phase,
where it can create a more powerful return on investment

Installation and Commissioning
Benefits are Considerable
• FOUNDATION fieldbus also allows you to deal with project
changes more effectively, and manage delays in preceding
phases of the project better
• Avoid shutdowns during performance runs
• Faster time to startup can provide a return on the
automation investment

Reduce Unplanned Shutdowns
• Unplanned Shutdown Accounts for 5 Percent of Production in
the Process Industries
• One Unplanned Shutdown can Wipe Out your Entire Plant Profit
for the Year
• Field Diagnostics Provide Advance Knowledge of Impending
Problems
• FOUNDATION technology enables truly distributed and
deterministic controls which are designed to function
regardless of host issues

Customer Experience: CIF Reduces
Unplanned Shutdown
FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus
CIF with inherent backup capability
prevented 2 incorrect plant
shutdowns, which would have
resulted from communication
interruptions.

Fieldbus for New Projects and Modernization
• According to ARC, the
installed base of process
automation systems reaching
the end of their useful life is
$65 billion. Most of these are
20 years old or older.
• FOUNDATION Fieldbus is being
chosen by more major end
users as they begin to
modernize their installed
base.
• Users want to avoid a
functional replacement.
Nobody Wants to Replace this with
“More of the Same”

Managing Diagnostic Data from Multiple Networks in
a Single Infrastructure
• Easier audit trail and reporting
• Data is time-stamped
• FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices can
indicate data quality -- whether signals
communicating setpoints, PVs, etc.
have good, bad or uncertain quality.
• Structured data and data quality
means improved handling of failures
when one does happen.
• Failure is alarmed, handled by control
algorithm

• “Project Gemstone” To Make Fieldbus Experience Easier, More
Application-Centered
• Encompassing a wide range of FOUNDATION™ fieldbus development
efforts, Project Gemstone covers many of the initiatives the Fieldbus
Foundation is already working on today.
• Includes FOUNDATION for Remote Operations Management (ROM),
Field Device Integration (FDI) Cooperation, and ISA108 intelligent
device management.
• The foundation’s new usability team is also focusing on how to make
fieldbus device replacement easier and faster than ever.

New ISA 108 Standard
ISA108 Standards Committee: Intelligent Device Management:
Deployment and Work Process Standards
Purpose: To define standard templates of best practices and work
processes for implementation and use use of diagnostic and
other information provided by intelligent field devices in the
process industries.
Scope: Committee work products will include recommended work
processes and implementation practices for systems that
utilize information from intelligent field devices and the people
that use them. Work process templates by worker roles
(maintenance, operations, etc.) will be one area of research.
Best practices for implementation will be developed. Models
will be developed for the flow of information from devices
through the various systems that use the information.

Editor's Notes

  • #31 Customer ExperienceA spokesperson for ShinEtsu had this to say… this inherent backup capability of Control in Field saved them from not one but two plent shutdowns and meant they could continue operating normally.
