The PlantWeb Dynamic Performance Loop

With its extensive use of the latest dig-ital field devices, systems and soft- ware the PlantWeb dynamic perform- ance loop can be used to prove the benefits of PlantWeb digital plant architecture. PlantWeb enables proj- ect costs to be reduced due to simpli- fied engineering, easier, faster com- missioning and reductions in the quantities of wiring used. Operational benefits include improvements in product quality, increased availability and throughput, reductions in waste and rework and reduced operation and maintenance costs. Reducing process variability plays a keypart in improving loop and plant per- formance, which in turn provides many of the operational benefits enabled by PlantWeb architecture. The PlantWeb dynamic performance loop has been established to prove the link between process instrumentation performance and loop variability. The predictive main- tenance capabilities of the instrumenta-tion can be demonstrated as well as showing how these are used to provide maximum benefit. A complete range of EmersonF
OUNDATION fieldbus and HART instru-mentation is installed in the laborato- ry and is constantly changing as prod- ucts and technologies develop. A complete up-to-date listing is avail- able on request. The primary function of the dynamic performance loop is to demonstrate control valve perform- ance, however, performance of any of the installed devices can be demon- strated. Customers are welcome to visit thelaboratory to witness at first hand the dynamic performance loop, alterna- tively presentations can be carried out on-line, from anywhere there is inter- net access.
