Advanced Control
Improved Simulation. DeltaV Simulate lets you configure
all DeltaV features on your laptop or office PC. 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.
Enhanced Troubleshooting. You can now automatically
launch DeltaV Inspect to quickly pinpoint problem loops and
field devices.
I/O, Busses
FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus H1 I/O Carrier. Now you
can easily add standard discrete I/O to your FOUNDATION™
fieldbus segment. Each carrier supports one DI and one DO
card in an optional rugged field enclosure.*
Improved FOUNDATION Fieldbus Security. Backup link
active scheduling is now available in either the RMT 3051
pressure or the 3244 temperature transmitters.
FOUNDATION Fieldbus Device Scalability. You can now
buy fieldbus devices at scalable prices based on the function
block set you buy.
Easy FOUNDATION Fieldbus Device Upgrades. You can
now upgrade or downgrade same manufacturer fieldbus device
revisions. And you can change the device from one manufacturer
to another, like from SMAR to Rosemount.
Expanding FOUNDATION Fieldbus Interoperability. We
have completed tests with Yokogawa DP and Vortex transmitters
in our FOUNDATION fieldbus interoperability
testing lab. Additional devices supported include: Rosemount
Analytical 4081-pH meter, Micro Motion 5300 flow meter, Rosemount
Analytical 5000 Oxymitter, Rosemount 8800 vortex flow meter,
and some SMAR devices.
Low-cost, High-density Discretes. DI 32-channel 24VDC
Dry Contact and a DO 32-channel 24VDC High Side are now available
for a low-cost solution. Class 1 Div 2 and Zone 2 approvals
for these cards are pending agency approval.
Batch
Increased Performance. 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.
Improved Batch Historian Database. Look under the
hood of the DeltaV version 4.2's Batch Historian, and you'll
find a Microsoft SQL engine. This engine effortlessly serves
multiple clients and greatly 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.
MS Word-based Reports. A new Microsoft Word-based
Batch Report is available, using Microsoft's VBA to generate
a report with process related alarms, events, and trends.
You can easily customize these reports for your specific needs.
More Batch Operator Interface Information. The Batch
Operator Interface's View As PFC (Procedural Function Chart)
display now supports the ability to show comments and boxes
configured within Recipe Studio. You can also choose to display
the 'description' of a step as an alternative to its name,
and to display the 'description' or 'name' of a transition
as an alternative to its condition expression.
DeltaV Batch in Language Versions. DeltaV Batch capability,
including Batch Executive, Batch Operator Interface, Batch
Historian, and Batch History View, has been added to the DeltaV
system --in all languages-- in the 4.2 release.
Operations
Extended Diagnostics. 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.
Integration and Communications
OPC Mirror. With OPC Mirror, you can connect all
your OPC servers and transfer data between them simultaneously.
Because it runs on any Windows NT machine, it's the perfect
tool to integrate your OPC-compliant systems -- easy. Simply
drag and drop to map data values from one server to another.
The OPC Mirror is available on 'The Collection' CD from Fisher-Rosemount.
OPC Pager. By monitoring data available from your
OPC server, Fisher-Rosemount's OPC Pager acts as your constant
watchdog, keeping an eye on your critical values and notifying
you when they meet your alert criteria. Works with any alphanumeric
pager that uses the TAP communication standard. The OPC Pager
is available on Fisher-Rosemount's 'The Collection' CD.
Additional Control Network Options. We've added network
hardware options to provide greater installation flexibility
for your large systems, with the addition of 100Mb fiber optic
hubs, 10/100Mb copper switches, and 100Mb fiber switches.
Workstations
Continuing our pledge to provide you with enhanced performance
at a lower price, we've added the Dell 6300 server and Dell
WS410 performance workstation to the lineup of supported workstations.
Languages
The DeltaV version 4.2 software will soon be available in
French, German, Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and
Traditional Chinese.*
