Emerson's DeltaV™ system enhanced for abnormal situation prevention

艾默生DeltaV系統增加預防反常情況功能

DeltaV version 8.4 software extends PlantWeb® Alerts to HART devices and improves FOUNDATION fieldbus device alarming

DeltaV 8.4 版本軟件將PlantWeb警報增加到HART設備，并且增強了FOUNDATION現場總線設備警報功能

AUSTIN, TEXAS (June 12, 2006) – Emerson Process Management released version 8.4 of DeltaV™ system software that includes enhancements to help users prevent abnormal situations. DeltaV digital automation systems are a core component of Emerson's open, standards-based PlantWeb^® digital plant architecture.

德州奧斯汀6月12日消息——艾默生過程管理公司發布8.4版本DeltaV系統軟件，軟件包含幫助用戶預防反常情況的增加功能。DeltaV數字自動化系統是艾默生開放式基于標準的PlantWeb數字工廠架構的核心部分。

With the new software release, standard HART device status information can now be used by predictive diagnostics that generate PlantWeb Alerts. The unique alerts and accompanying guidance help users take remedial actions that can head off abnormal situations in the plant. In an additional enhancement, conditional alarming has been extended to FOUNDATION fieldbus devices, enabling the devices to deliver critical predictive alarms for immediate attention by operations staff to avoid unplanned downtime.

現在，隨著新軟件的發布，標準HART設備狀態信息可以用于預防診斷從而產生PlantWeb警報。獨特的警報及伴隨的指示幫助用戶采取補救措施，阻止工廠產生反常情況。另外一個改進是，擴大了FOUNDATION現場總線設備的狀態報警范圍，使得這些設備可以向操作人員發出重要的預防警報，引起即時注意，避免計劃外的停工。

"Operators need to know when critical field devices are in need of attention and need not be bothered when devices and processes are operating normally," said Dave Deitz, director of marketing for the DeltaV system. "By extending our PlantWeb Alerts to HART protocol devices, we can alert maintenance and operations personnel to potential problems so as to avoid disruptions to the process. This extension of PlantWeb Alerts to HART devices is significant for installed base customers who can now take advantage of hidden predictive diagnostics in all of their HART devices."

DeltaV系統市場部主管Dave Deitz表示：“操作人員必須知道什么時候重要的現場設備需要注意，什么時候設備和過程操作正常而不必操心。通過給HART協議設備增加PlantWeb警報，我們可以向維護和操作人員報警潛在的問題，從而避免了過程的中斷。給HART設備增加的PlantWeb警報功能對安裝了設備的客戶具有重大的意義，他們現在可以充分利用他們所有設備隱藏的預防診斷這一優勢。”

"Similarly, by adding conditional alarming support for our analog input, discrete input, and PID function blocks for FOUNDATION fieldbus devices, it is possible to suppress nuisance alarms that interfere with attention to process operations," said Deitz. "Configuration of conditional alarms 'on' and/or 'off' delay times can significantly reduce the numbers of nuisance alarms that are caused by temporary transient conditions."

Deitz繼續說道：“同樣地，給我們的模擬輸入、離散輸入添加狀態報警支持，為FOUNDATION現場總線設備增加PID功能封堵，使得可以防止干擾過程操作注意力的損害警報。狀態警報的“開”和/或者“關”耽誤次數構造可以極大地減少因臨時瞬間狀況而引起的損害警報數量。”
