February 24, 2009 – Emerson Process Management unveiled an adaptive capability for DeltaV InSight which enables the DeltaV control system to automatically learn process dynamics, diagnose control problems, and re-tune control loops for optimal performance. Further extending the predictive intelligence of PlantWeb architecture, this new capability is embedded in DeltaV’s digital control system with automatic configuration to provide increased performance and availability for all DeltaV and FOUNDATION fieldbus-based control loops. DeltaV InSight is uniquely automatic - it provides system-wide performance monitoring and diagnostics with no additional configuration or maintenance effort. InSight performance monitoring is automatically updated for any changes made to the system.
DeltaV InSight also accounts for process changes by automatically learning process dynamics from normal day-to-day operations. This process knowledge may be applied to improve plant performance and availability with adaptive loop tuning, non-linear control, loop diagnostics, process simulation, and model based control. DeltaV InSight has also been enhanced with automatic performance reports that can be scheduled to provide key performance metrics for a user’s control system. Based on XML standards and Microsoft Excel templates, these reports are ready to use out of the box, or can be customized with a plant’s unique key performance indicators.
These reports will also be available through Emerson’s highly successful Guardian Web Dashboard, enabling customers to easily distribute reports across their enterprise.DeltaV digital automation systems are a core component of Emerson’s open, standards-based PlantWeb digital plant architecture which substantially reduces project costs, typically saving customers over 30% on installed costs.
