德州奧斯汀消息，艾默生過程管理有限公司宣布其公司的PlantWeb®數(shù)字工廠架構(gòu)已經(jīng)被安裝在了CATCH培訓中心，一個位于Stallingborough的化學培訓中心。820萬美元的設(shè)備已經(jīng)被開發(fā)用于滿足培訓中心的行業(yè)需求， 艾默生為工廠架構(gòu)所需的施工、設(shè)計和安裝提供產(chǎn)品，軟件和服務(wù)。包括DeltaV™數(shù)字化自動化系統(tǒng)、AMS® Suite智能設(shè)備管理器、Fisher®控制閥、FIELDVUE®數(shù)字閥控制器、Rosemount®流量、核動力和溫度傳感器和Micro Motion® Coriolis質(zhì)量流量計。 起初的設(shè)計是利用HART通信技術(shù)建造傳統(tǒng)式工廠，但是其面臨著成本挑戰(zhàn)。于是選用基金會現(xiàn)場總線技術(shù)。由于項目的演變，則需要增加一些額外的儀表來應(yīng)對這些挑戰(zhàn)。針對未來的擴張計劃也正好能夠適用。如果現(xiàn)有的工廠仍保留有原始架構(gòu)，其有必要挖掘一些管道來鋪設(shè)纜線，進行項目擴展。 CATCH總經(jīng)理Clive Rounce說：“盡管CATCH自身不是培訓機構(gòu)，但是我們提供了專業(yè)設(shè)施，我們的宗旨就是為我們的客戶提供切實可行的安全的培訓設(shè)施。在項目處于設(shè)計階段時，我們就著手為我們的用戶準備培訓平臺。用戶一般都喜歡應(yīng)用那些實際的可以用得上的平臺。通常他們的第一選擇就是艾默生的DeltaV系統(tǒng)作為其整個PlantWeb架構(gòu)中的關(guān)鍵部位和系統(tǒng)?！? 為了創(chuàng)建一個可靠的工作環(huán)境，現(xiàn)場工藝需要基于實時數(shù)字自動化架構(gòu)?；饡F(xiàn)場總路線數(shù)字通信技術(shù)可將來自網(wǎng)絡(luò)的反饋數(shù)據(jù)集中到控制室，在控制室中操作人員可及時處理即時環(huán)境中的故障進行配置和故障處理。 新技術(shù)被引入到行業(yè)中，現(xiàn)場應(yīng)用的設(shè)備也將被更新，用戶也可以體驗到新創(chuàng)新的技術(shù)。舉例來說：自動化系統(tǒng)將艾默生的DeltaV SIS及安全PlantWeb數(shù)字工廠架構(gòu)引入應(yīng)用當中。其它創(chuàng)新包括DeltaV模擬軟件的添加，允許工程師們開發(fā)新控制戰(zhàn)略，應(yīng)用真實控制配置和過程模擬軟件進行測試。CATCH還計劃引入艾默生的智能無線解決方案，此方案不用線傳就能收集遠程信息。 艾默生過程管理公司（歐洲）PlantWeb部門主管Travis Hesketh說：“我們很高興能與CATCH合作，在我們的行業(yè)中為培訓設(shè)施設(shè)置新標準。其于我們的PlantWeb數(shù)字架構(gòu)和DeltaV系統(tǒng)之上，CATCH為其伙伴提供了一級的設(shè)施。” [FONT=times] original text [/FONT] [font=times] Emerson‘s PlantWeb® digital architecture is the "automation of choice" at chemical industry‘s flagship training facility [/font] [font=times][Color=#708090]AUSTIN, TE XAS （March 4, 2008） – Emerson Process Management announces that the company‘s PlantWeb® digital plant architecture has been installed at the CATCH （Centre for the Assessment of Technical Competence） training center for the chemical industry in Stallingborough, near Grimsby, North Lincolnshire. The £8.2 million facility has been developed to meet the industry need for a training center that accurately reflects the environment existing in plants but without the hazards found in many process industries. Emerson supplied products, software and services and was involved with the engineering, design and installation of the plant architecture. This includes the DeltaV™ digital automation system and AMS® Suite Intelligent Device Manager, together with Fisher® control valves and FIELDVUE® digital valve controllers, Rosemount® level, flow, pressure, and temperature transmitters and Micro Motion® Coriolis mass flowmeters. Originally designed as a conventional plant utilizing HART communications technology, the challenging timescale and the projected savings in cabling costs led to the adoption of FOUNDATION fieldbus technology. As the project evolved, extra instruments were added and these changes, together with any future expansion plans, could be readily accommodated using the existing cabling. Had the plant retained the original architecture it would have been necessary to excavate a roadway to lay additional cabling, extending the original project timescale. With customer training sessions already arranged, any delay would have created serious problems for CATCH. By adopting FOUNDATION fieldbus communications the plant was ready for its first scheduled training sessions. "CATCH provides professional facilities although it is not itself a training organization," said Clive Rounce, General Manager at CATCH. "Our brief is to provide and maintain a realistic and safe training facility for our partner companies. When the project was at the design stage, we approached our partners for input on the type of automation system to be used. They wanted a system that would provide the best training platform based on what they actually have installed on site, and their first choice was Emerson‘s DeltaV system as the state of the art front end system and as a key component in an overall PlantWeb architecture." In order to create an authentic working environment, the process on site is based on a real digital automation architecture. FOUNDATION fieldbus digital communication technologies feed data over a network to the centralized control room where students are able to control, configure and troubleshoot in a real plant environment. As new technologies are introduced to the industry, the equipment on site will be upgraded to ensure the latest innovations can be experienced. For example, the automation system incorporates Emerson‘s DeltaV SIS （Safety Instrumented System） which extends the benefits of the PlantWeb digital plant architecture to safety applications. Other innovations include the addition of Emerson‘s DeltaV Simulate software that allows engineers to develop new control strategies, and fully test them on their laptop computer using actual control configurations and process simulation software. CATCH is also planning to include Emerson‘s Smart Wireless solutions that enable data to be collected from remote locations without the need for wires. "We are delighted to be involved with the CATCH project which sets a new standard for training facilities in our industry," said Travis Hesketh, Director of PlantWeb for Europe, Emerson Process Management. "By basing its training facility on our PlantWeb digital architecture and DeltaV system, CATCH offers its partners a state of the art facility that uses the architecture of choice for the process industry." The project is already proving to be a great success with over 6,000 students having passed through the facility in the first year of operation. From January 2008 more than 120 apprentices will be based at Stallingborough, learning skills and gaining experience that will be vital to the future success of the industry.[/color][/font]
