Investments over timeThe RS3 platform has added andupdated technologies in recent yearsto help improve plant efficiency andperformance. The operator consoles,integration servers, engineeringtools, and asset managementsoftware are all available in thefamiliar Windows environment.Some of the enhancements over thepast few years include: MPC5, CP5,ROS, and seamless, incrementalintegration with Emerson’sPlantWeb technology.

Flexible integrationToday’s RS3 system employs thesame Windows integration thatpowers the industry’s cutting edgedigital, open-architecture

automation systems—like Emerson’sDeltaV system, which began thewhole revolution back in 1996. These Window NT-based systems,employing off-the-shelf componentsand integrating seamlessly with off-the-shelf office managementproducts, have proven themselvesover time insome of the toughestoperating environments on theplanet—flexibly, reliably.

Economic, competitive, andregulatory pressures are drivingchange in the process marketplace.There is an increasing need tointegrate process data where it can be effectively used—requiringintegration at the database level.The RNI (RS3 Network Interface)

provides you with a flexible interfacebased on the TCP/IP protocol. This Ethernet connectivity allowsprocess data from the RS3equipment to be effectively used bya variety of hosts and applications.

Flexible batchABC Batch and ROS Journal give youhistorical batch recording andprovide you batch data collectionand non-intrusive collection ofalarms, events and operatorchanges. By simply turning on batchhistorical messaging, the ROSJournal is automatically populatedwith ABC Batch events as they occur.The Journal can be used as arepository for the events, or it can beaccessed using standard SQL andadded to a Plant-wide BatchHistorian or other client applications.

Commission and manage your HART devices with AMSsoftware.

Significant investments havebeen made that allow theintegration of DeltaVtechnology into the RS3architecture, like the DeltaVOperate for RS3 whichprovides a commonwindow for operationsto both the DeltaVand RS3platforms. Thebasic RS3architecture remainsunchanged, allowingbackward compatibility,while leveraging newtechnologies.

At your pace, you can expand,interoperate, and eventuallytransition your RS3 equipment—insteps to this architecture andleverage the wealth of information inthese field devices. More precisecontrol, predictive maintenance, andmore intelligent alarming are just a

few of the benefits you’ll realize.

The DeltaV digital automationsystem is a keycomponent of thePlantWeb

architecture, and it’sdesigned specifically to

take full advantage oftoday's technologies. The

DeltaV system integrates “smartplant” capabilities including HART,FOUNDATION fieldbus, high-speed

digital busses, andembedded advanced control.This seamless,intelligent fieldintegration providesthe infrastructurefor advanced applications such asAsset ManagementSolutions (AMS) for quick, easydevice re-ranging, configuration anddiagnostics. The results are betterprocess efficiency and reducedprocess variability.

Expand, Interoperate,Transition—In Steps

4

ExpandYour path to the PlantWebarchitecture may begin with astandalone DeltaV solution. Hereyou can immediately quantifythe benefits and ease of theDeltaV system.

A next step might be to sharedata values between your RS3and DeltaV platforms with atime-tested and proven serialconnection or standards-basedOPC Mirror at the com-munications network level.

5

Transition in steps—at your own pace.

InteroperateYou can easily expand your RS3ControlFile with DeltaV I/O. It's away to take advantage of thelatest I/O technology whileretaining your RS3 controllers.

DeltaV Operate for RS3 is the bestchoice for upgrading your RS3consoles and provides the abilityto operate both the RS3 andDeltaV equipment from yourDeltaV Operator Stations.

TransitionWhen you are ready to replace RS3controllers for the additionalperformance and embeddedadvanced control, digital busses,and comprehensive diagnosticssupported by DeltaV controllers,you can maintain your RS3 I/O andwiring investments—which reducescommissioning time and expense.

When and where it makes sense,you can replace your RS3 I/O withDeltaV I/O, again without rewiringor losing your existingterminations.

The first stepTo sample the increased plant

performance possible with PlantWeb

digital technologies, many RS3 users

take the first step of their transition

with a standalone DeltaV solution.

This step allows you to experience

the savings in engineering time with

the easy, integrated DeltaV

engineering environment.

You’ll experience savings in

installation and commissioning as

you use the digital bus technologies.

And, operator training and ongoing

maintenance become easier as well.

Serial–simple and provenTo pass information between your

RS3 and DeltaV equipment for

operating and reporting, you can

make the next step by connecting

via the field-proven, and time-tested

serial connection, which establishes

secure communications between

the RS3 and the DeltaV controllers.

The serial connection is based upon

the ModBus protocol, which is also

field-proven. Control functions may

be executed in the DeltaV controllers

and displayed on your RS3 consoles.

This is an ideal step for applications

with light data passing

requirements, on the order of 100 or

fewer values.

Network-basedintegration—easy.As your data transfer needs grow,

you may want to switch to highway-

level integration with the process

industry’s open, interoperable

communication standard, OLE for

Process Control (OPC), and

Emerson’s OPC Mirror. OPC Mirror

lets you configure your data

transfers with point-and-click ease

between the DeltaV and RS3

equipment, for reliable and secure

data transfer—without having to

write custom code. The OPC Mirror

application is perfect for applications

requiring data sharing, while still

maintaining dedicated consoles for

each plant area.

Additionally, the RS3 OPC

connection allows plant historians

and specialty applications access to

the RS3 system.

OPC for RS3 is proven

communications technology and a

valuable integration tool for business

applications.

Operate from commonoperator stationsDeltaV Operate for RS3 is the bestchoice if you are looking to do a

console upgrade of your RS3consoles. From the DeltaVOperator Station, you can trend,monitor, and operate-—all theinformation you need—from onestation and one keyboard.

Dual monitors are available toallow you to view process graphics

on one screen while viewing ABCBatch steps on another: nobouncing from one window toanother. It’s all right in front of you.

Your existing process graphicsmost likely took a great deal oftime and effort. To preserve thisinvestment, a graphics conversiontool that will convert your MTCCgraphics into DeltaV Operategraphics is available.

As the number of DeltaVcontrollers in your plant grows,DeltaV Operate for RS3 has youready to operate your entire plantfrom the DeltaV workstations.

New I/O solutions for RS3You can take advantage of the latest

digital technologies in your RS3

equipment using DeltaV Classic I/O

including thermocouples and RTD

cards, FOUNDATION fieldbus, and

other digital bus technologies. On

RS3, DeltaV I/O appears as the latest

technology FIMs and behaves as

native RS3 I/O. These I/O signals

may be integrated into RS3 control

strategies just like other

RS3 I/O signals.

The DeltaV controller moves data

between DeltaV I/O and DeltaV

serial modules, which in turn

communicate with the RS3

controller.

RS3 configuration for these loops is

exactly the same as if RS3 I/O were

being used.

Besides taking

advantage of

the DeltaV I/O

technology in your RS3 system, you

are in a position to transition control

strategies to DeltaV controllers at

your pace—one loop at a time, when

it makes sense.

From the DeltaV Operator Stations,

you can also access FOUNDATION

fieldbus and HART information from

your intelligent field devices

connected to these DeltaV I/O

modules.

“We connected DeltaV IO to ourfifteen-year-old RS3 system in April of 2002,

and after some minor startup issues, theequipment runs impeccably. We see this as a

first step in bringing over the system tocurrent hardware and software.”

Maximize your capitalinvestmentAt some point in the execution ofyour automation strategy, you mayconsider transitioning your RS3

controllers to DeltaVcontrollers. This controllerupdate will allow you to takefull advantage of the PlantWebarchitecture and its ability toimprove the performance ofyour plant—without sacrificingprevious capital investments.The DeltaV controller providesembedded advanced control,native support for digitalbusses, and process variabilitytracking to improveoperations.

To ensure a smooth transitionfrom the RS3 controller to theDeltaV controller, yourinvestments in field wiring andconfiguration efforts in thisstep are protected. Simplyunplug the FIC or FIM I/O fromthe ControlFile and reconnectto the DeltaV controller. Youcontinue to use your RS3 I/Oand its associated wiring.

This means you can connect RS3I/O purchased in the 1980s and‘90s to the most current DeltaVcontroller—dramatic proof of ourcommitment to protect andmaximize your capital investmentover time.

Traditional DeltaV carriers may beconnected to the RS3 I/O Interfacecarrier, providing mountinglocations for DeltaV I/O cards. Theoptional DeltaV carriers may beused for DeltaV serial cards thatinterface to your PLCs and otherserial devices.

It smoothly moves—without any re-entry—I/O data, points, alarms,tuning, tags and descriptors fromRS3 to DeltaV engineeringconfiguration.

Conversion utilities translate yourRS3 control blocks and logic stepsfrom RS3 configuration to theDeltaV controller.

Full simulation capabilities inDeltaV equipment let you simulateand check out all yourconfigurations to minimize anydowntime in your switchover toDeltaV controllers.

Easy, flexible connectionssave wiring and uptimeWhen and where it makes sense tomigrate your RS3 I/O over to DeltaVI/O, you can save your existingterminations, with no rewiring, forquick switchover and minimaldowntime.

With this transition step, you gainthe advantages of DeltaVtechnology to mix and matchtraditional I/O seamlessly with HART,FOUNDATION fieldbus, Profibus DP,AS-i bus, and DeviceNet. With thesedigital bus technologies, you can usethe power of field intelligence toimprove your plant's performance.

With the FlexConnect® solution, yousimply plug the RS3 terminationboard cables into FlexConnectpanels, and then connectFlexConnect panels to DeltaV masstermination modules.

Consider the savings in wiring alonefor this transition. In addition torunning cable, you avoid drawingchanges, work orders, re-checkout,and re-running cable trays—a hugecost that can represent up to a thirdof project cost in new installations.

Unlike traditional upgrades callingfor an extended process shutdownfor rewiring, with FlexConnect theswitchover to DeltaV I/O is a quick,cable-plugging matter.
