Process Automation System

DeltaV Simulate provides a complete engineering environment including a virtual controller to check out control strategies, displays, dynamos, alarms, and other operator functions without DeltaV hardware.

Increased DeltaV Batch performance comes with the 4.2 release. In addition to the improved recipe editing, performance enhancements include:

• 90% reduction in the time to assign areas
• 75% reduction in downloading unit module
• 95% reduction in saving phase classes

Look under the hood of the DeltaV version 4.2's Batch Historian, and you'll find a Microsoft SQL engine. This engine serves multiple clients and improves performance. Migration to MS SQL also provides improved security by monitoring which users have access to view and/or manage electronic batch records. The Batch Historian Administrator's Interface is now easier with a common Windows look and feel.

Release 4.2 extends the DeltaV system's diagnostics to include the Marathon fault-tolerant system. Equipment failures in these redundant workstations are reported in the same fashion as I/O failures for easy problem recognition and resolution.
