• As with any project, it is critical that the right skills sets are brought
to Fieldbus projects.
• Experience has shown that training of all members of the
project team, engineers, maintenance, operations staff, and
SALES / SUPPORT personnel is critical to the project’s
success.
• It often comes down to knowing the right questions to ask and/or
the right ANSWERS to give.
• Customers are becoming much more astute at asking smarter
questions. Can you provide the right answers ?
Questions & the right ANSWERS

Fieldbus = Change
<1930’s – Direct connected devices
1940’s – Pneumatic signal transmission
1950’s – 10-50/4-20mA replacing 3-15psi
1970’s – Process computers appear (PLCs)
1980’s – DCS implemented
1990’s – first FF systems
2000’s – Fieldbus crosses “chasm”
2000+ – Vendors begin to struggle with learning how
to respond to customer Fieldbus requests
= Change Happens

Industry reports indicate that ~ 50% of commissioning problems are due to
poor installation practices (power/shielding/wiring/termination errors)

Summary / Conclusion
In an environment of rapidly changing
technologies, foundational skills become even
more critical.
Servicing a customer’s instrumentation and
control needs requires a crafted plan.
Sales people can become even more valuable and
can help minimize design “workarounds”, but
only if they are adequately educated.
