Current Situation - Customer Needs
FDT Group
Typical project in Process
Automation and Factory
Automation:
> 10 Device suppliers
> 100 Device types
> 1.000 I/Os
Current plant landscape

Analysis
Flow
Density andconcentration
Discrete I/O
Remote I/O
All devices have to be
� configured and operated with proprietary software tools
� integrated into many different systems
Current plant landscape

Device set-up – Today !
We can start with
the device
configuration ....
What? For each device an own software?
… and all with different
templates?
STOP

STOP… this is TOO
complicated and much TOO expensive!!
� Existing installations have developed over time
� Different communication protocols
� Many different tools with own data bases

HSEFOUNDATION ™
Current plant landscape
� Complexity of automation system architecture
� Multiple communication protocols
� Market segment specific protocols
� Many field device suppliers
� Many system suppliers
7
� Complexity of plant equipment
� Multiple generations of equipment
� Equipment increasingly sophisticated
� Decreasing number of technical staff and technical
knowledge base

� Freedom of choice
� Products that fit best for your application, not imposed by
automation system architecture
� Keep price vs. functionality competition among suppliers
� Investment protection
� New technologies should be compatible with existing
investments without expensive upgrades
Your needs
8
� Transparent data access
� Into Process Control, Asset Management systems and
Engineering Tools
� Independent from device type, supplier, and
communication protocol
� Ease of Use – Support over entire life cycle
� Engineering, commissioning, operation, maintenance,
and diagnostics
� For systems, devices, and network components
