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 key
part 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 Emerson
FOUNDATION 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 the
laboratory 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.
