The document discusses Schneider Electric's Foxboro Evo asset management software. The software aims to [1] improve operational uptime by enabling remote device monitoring and diagnostics to reduce unnecessary field trips, [2] streamline engineering workflows through template-based device configuration and commissioning wizards, and [3] reduce costs and risks through features like a maintenance response center for alert triaging and work order management integration.

Effectively maintain multiple tools, devices, protocols
- Field Device Manager is an extension to the
Foxboro Evo Control Editor
- Supports all major smart device protocols
- Complete field device lifecycle coverage in
one comprehensive tools set:
- Device Configuration
- Device Commissioning/Replacement
- Device Maintenance
- Device Diagnostics

9. Device Template Extension
Streamline engineering effort & workflow
Templates allow ‘generic’ definition of an
object, across a template hierarchy
• Protocol
• Vendor
• Device Type
- Instantiation can be performed
manually or in bulk
- Changes to a template, or derived
template, automatically propagate
down to derived templates and
instances
Confidential Property of Schneider Electric 9

10. Device Template Configuration
Streamline engineering effort & workflow
Ease of use for all skillsets
- Template architecture allows expert knowledge to be captured early
- Non-experts can commission with minimal configuration – typically just tag name
Option to lock parameters, this prevents derived
templates or instances from modifying selected
parameter
Option to attach device specific
vendor DTM and DD file
Confidential Property of Schneider Electric 10

11. Commissioning & Device Wizards
Improve operational uptime
Cut project execution times / Mean Time To Repair
- The wizard automatically commissions all selected devices
- Enables unskilled users to commission/replace instruments
- Allows users to extract value from devices already installed in their facilities

12. Field Device Manager
Get online faster
Manual Process
20-30 minutes per device

13. Combined Single Information Repository
Streamline engineering effort & workflow
- Eliminates duplication and mismatch issues
commonly experienced by vendors that
employ independent DCS and Asset
databases
- Saves labor – Single backup

18. Maintenance Strategies
Maximize Profitability
Predictive maintenance based on real time
diagnostic information from smart devices
Reactive
Predictive
Reliability
Centered
Scheduled
Preventive schedule is optimized based on
failure history
Traditional approach with fixed schedule for preventive
maintenance
Run to failure approach – only appropriate for low impact failures
Confidential Property of Schneider Electric 18

19. Introducing the Maintenance Response Center
> Presents real-time highly contextual device diagnostics
> Delivers reports of detected device conditions
> Allows analysis of conditions (Decision Support)
> Work order requests can be generated right from the analysis windows
> Integration with work order management

20. The limitations of a ‘run to failure’ approach
Device
Status Bit
DVC6200
7 Field Device Malfunction
6 Configuration Changed
5 Cold Start Since Last Comm
4 More Status Available (MSA)
3 Not Used
2 Analog Input Saturated
1 Internal Sensor Out of Limits
0 Any Variable Out of Range
Device Status
Bit returned in
every HART
message
When the MSA bit is set, further investigation is required – often resulting in a field trip.
Confidential Property of Schneider Electric 20
Field Trips = More Time = More Cost Field Trips also increases Safety Risk

21. Maintenance Response Center
Improve operational uptime
HART command #48 – Read Additional Status
Device vendor specific content that can detail up to 200
bits of data that represent device specific conditions that
could be experienced.
So instead of a generic “More Status Available”, a more
detailed view of the device condition can be seen:
• Valve “Stuck” Alert
• Pressure Deviation Alert
• Travel Deviation Alert
• Temperature Sensor Failure
• Power Starvation, etc.

22. Comprehensive Event Analysis
Reduce cost & risk trips to unnecessary trips to the field
Event
Analysis • New Device Alert Summary
• Acknowledge or Ignore Alert
(place into backlog)
• Extra Context to Enable
Prioritization
