Press Release: Emerson introduces DeltaV Connect™ solution update for migration of legacy Honeywell® systems to PlantWeb® digital architecture
DeltaV Connect™ solution is now available for Honeywell® Systems and opens the door to proven PlantWeb capabilities and benefits
AUSTIN, TEXAS (June 21, 2007) – Emerson Process Management announces availability of the updated DeltaV Connect™ solution for Honeywell® Systems [PDF], an advanced migration solution to transition Honeywell systems to Emerson's PlantWeb® digital plant architecture. Emerson's migration consultants deliver the services, expertise and training to enable process manufacturers to seamlessly and safely transition existing operations over to the benefits of PlantWeb digital, predictive technologies with zero down time.
The DeltaV Connect migration solution improves operational effectiveness and addresses process manufacturers' concerns with the limits of older technologies including slow response times, loss of view to the process, difficulty in finding parts, and increasingly expensive support.
"Our migration solutions, technology and expertise come together to offer many plants a compelling, low risk transition path for Honeywell legacy systems, as well as those from other automation suppliers," said Tom Snead, president of Emerson Process Management. "We help process manufacturers take advantage of existing automation investments while building a base for the latest digital technologies."
Emerson builds migration solutions with open communications technologies which connect with existing systems while adding the latest operator interface, event and alarm management capabilities. The DeltaV Connect solution provides operators access to both Honeywell TPS/TDC 3000® system and DeltaV equipment from a common integrated DeltaV Operator Station. Process manufacturers can immediately replace their legacy Honeywell consoles, and have an easy transition path from their TDC 3000/TDC 2000 controllers and I/O to DeltaV equipment, in a phased approach which fits their timing. DeltaV Connect for Honeywell Systems v1.2 is compatible with DeltaV v7.4.1, DeltaV v8.3 and higher.

What is Taking So Long?
Estimates of the savings from control technology like dynamic matrix control can save large refineries from $1.5 to $10.5 million a year. It is also generally recognized that implementing advanced process control technology can result in significant operating savings, so why hasn’t everyone already used this technology?
That is the premise of Dave Harrold’s article in the May issue of Control magazine, “What is Taking So Long?” (147KB PDF) Emerson’s Terry Blevins lends his considerable experience to the article discussing valve positioners and techniques to eliminate tuning problems.
