Hampton, NH..
MTL Open System Technologies (MOST), a member of the MTL Instruments Group, announced today the release of its Matrix v.8.0 process control system that features integration with Invensys Wonderware ArchestrA technology." Our control solutions have always made extensive use Wonderware's software solutions such as InTouch (operator interface (HMI)), IndustrialSQL Server (plant historian) and InBatch (recipe management). The adoption of ArchestrA technology offers our customers major benefits - significant reduction in project engineering and deployment costs, easy expansion of existing systems, enhanced production and performance management reporting and integration with enterprise-wide business systems," said MOST VP of Marketing Dave Reynolds.
MOST's process control system, Matrix v. 8.0, leverages Wonderware's Industrial Application Server to automatically manage and coordinate the development, modification, and deployment of control application components. Each of these components or templates contain all the information necessary for alarming, trending, historization, and security for process control tasks including PID loops, motor control, I/O interfacing, and diagnostics. Graphical representation of these components is through a set of Wonderware SmartSymbols.
This results in greater engineering productivity and lowers system life-cycle costs.Industrial Application Server is built on Invensys' ArchestrA software architecture. This enables plant engineers to easily design develop, deploy and maintain process control and functional safety systems for a wide variety of applications. In addition, ArchestrA provides one platform or toolset that can integrate plant floor systems with enterprise-wide business systems.
For information about ArchestrA – www.archestra.bizThis release coincides with the announcement that MTL's SafetyNet (SIL2) functional safety system received certification by TÜV Rheinland. SafetyNet is an ideal solution for Process Shut Down (PSD), Emergency Shut Down (ESD), and Burner Management System (BMS) applications.
As both Matrix and SafetyNet use an integrated project development environment, SafetyNet users also benefit from the adoption of the ArchestrA framework.MTL Open System Technologies (MOST), a member of the MTL Instruments Group, provides open control technologies, process automation systems, safety shutdown solutions and SCADA communications software. Solutions encompass open control hardware and software components, process automation systems (Matrix) including process controllers and robust I/O systems, SIL 2 functional safety systems (SafetyNet) for Process Shut Down (PSD), Emergency Shut Down (ESD) Systems and Burner Management System (BMS) applications and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) communications software.
Our solutions are proving themselves across the oil and gas, petrochemical and petroleum refining, food and beverage, pulp and paper, power generation and utilities, metals and mining, water and wastewater, manufacturing, and other industries.
