13:00 Breakout Session 1

Session: A (Jorvik)

Title: Upgrading by the Tun

Presenter(s): Steve Watson, QSI and Andy Jardin, Whyte & Mackay

Synopsis: The Tun Room control system at the Whyte & Mackay distillery in Invergordon had an existing legacy Emerson Delta V system running on a Windows NT based platform. The graphics were developed using Fix 32 which was no longer used after this version of DeltaV. The aim of the project was to provide an upgraded control system that will give a long term, readily supported solution, using ‘tried and tested’ industry standard software that will be maintainable and easy to use. Importantly it will also provide a stable platform for development and the addition of future plant areas. The chosen platform was SIMATIC PCS 7.

This presentation will detail the process of system selection, migration methodology and implementation and the resulting operational benefit.

Session: B (Crown)

Title: The Batch that Fits

Presenter(s): Gordon Walsh and Darrin McCrudden, Control & Information Management (CIM)

Synopsis: A leading player in the Irish Pharmaceutical market were looking to develop a new facility within their existing plant. This session will cover the benefits to the end user of a flexible SIMATIC Batch based solution designed to meet their needs. It will also cover aspects of the project execution that needed to be ‘worked around’ but have now been addressed in SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.2

5

Session: C (Minster)

Title: Why Choose an Integrated Platform?

Presenter(s): Billy Melvin, Glaxo SmithKline

Synopsis: When Glaxo SmithKline was looking to invest into its production facility at Worthing, SIMATIC PCS 7 was selected as the DCS of choice. A key driver was the ability to have a totally integrated solution across all automation building and process packages. The session will explore the reasons behind the decision to go for SIMATIC PCS 7, the solution that was proposed and also share an insight into the delivery of the project and its perceived benefits when the plant goes live.

Session: D (Wedgewood)

Title: What Opportunities does Smart Data bring to the Process Industries?

Presenter(s): Paul Hingley, Siemens

Synopsis: Big Data and the Cloud are ever growing trends within the manufacturing sector. Dynamic data interaction based on real time algorithms will be a consideration of the future process. The value of the data to the process will be an engineering decision while new business models will be explored. Security will also be a major consideration of the Cloud revolution and data integrity will require real engineering considerations ensuring future technology and process trends can be incorporated. This roundtable will discuss the opportunities and the impact these trends bring to the Process Industries.

Session: F (Crown)

Title: Evaluating the Business Value Delivered by Control System Migration Projects

Presenter(s): Hugh Woodward, Dow Corning

Synopsis: Control system upgrade and migration projects are conventionally driven by the need to mitigate obsolescence. These projects can be hard to “sell” to business budget holders as they can be seen as simply providing “like for like” replacement of existing systems - particularly in an environment where projects compete for capital funding. This session will discuss methods for evaluating when is the right time to make the investment in a control system migration, and what is the real value which will be delivered to the business by the enhanced automation capability.

7

Session: G (Minster)

Title: Proof Testing… A Key Performance Indicator for End Users of Safety-Related Systems

Presenter(s): Ron Bell and David Green, Engineering Safety Consultants Ltd

Synopsis: Proof Testing is not just a useful thing to do; it is of fundamental importance in achieving and maintaining compliance to IEC 61511 and maintaining target risk levels. This presentation will focus on the need for designers and end-users to understand the concept of Proof Testing of the Safety Instrumented Functions of a Safety Instrumented System, and to fully appreciate the technical and resource implications of inappropriate Proof Testing.

The presentation will address the following areas: The difference between a Functional Test and a Proof Test; The concept and determination of Proof Test Coverage; The resource implications of undertaking a Proof Test; The frequency with which subsystems should be overhauled to maintain the Target Risk when the Proof Test Coverage is not equal to 100%; and the importance of developing Proof Test Procedures in a systematic manner and the importance and benefits of having competent Control & Instrumentation Technicians to undertake proof testing.

Session: H (Wedgewood)

Title: Skills - Closing the Gap

Roundtable Discussion

Presenter(s): Brian Lawson, Kirklees College, Peter Martin, The University of Manchester & Stewart Mitchell, CMAC

Synopsis: The skills gap is real, it is something that has been spoken about for many years but the reality of the situation is impacting the industry significantly. Brian, Peter and Stewart will share with you their experiences of the issues and invite you to join in with your views on this critical subject.

15:30 Breakout Session 3

Session: I (Jorvik)

Title: Breathing in New Life – Migration of a Validated Legacy DCS System

Presenter(s): Jeremy Hands, QSI and Tracy Hart, DDPS

Synopsis: Migration of an installed legacy DCS system provides many challenges and requires planning to ensure that downtime is kept to a minimum, this is further complicated when it involves a validated solution. When a major UK pharmaceutical company was looking to migrate their existing ABB System6 DCS system, they went through a rigorous selection process which resulted in DDPS and QSI being selected to deliver a SIMATIC PCS 7 based solution. This breakout session will discuss the proposed solution, how the smooth migration from one DCS to another was carried out under GMP conditions and the benefits to the end user.

Session: J (Crown)Title: Upgrading PCS 7 at Sita’s Isle of Man EfW

Presenter(s): Simon Beales and Steve Elliot, DAI

Synopsis: Sita Isle of Man were looking to upgrade their existing SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.0 installation controlling the incinerators at their EfW facility to the latest version, V8.1+SP1. The session will look at the drivers for the upgrade, the approach taken and some of the detailed issues that had to be resolved.

16:35 Breakout Session 4

Session: M (Jorvik)

Title: Keeping the Water Flowing

Presenter(s): Eddie Clough and Neil MacDonald, Oasis Software Solutions

Synopsis: Upgrading the Control System of strategic Water Treatment Works isn’t an easy task when access to it is limited to only a few hours at a time and production is vital and regulated. This presentation describes how such an upgrade was approached on an ageing APACS+ site through the use of APACS+ DPIO modules and PCS 7 AS Controllers.

Also discussed is the implementation of the customer’s chosen Enterprise SCADA product to communicate with the PCS 7 AS Controllers via OPC UA. This involved the development of a PCS 7 Function Block library to communicate with ready developed set of SCADA objects, the advantage of this being a common look and feel to the SCADA independent of the actual PLC layer.

Session: N (Crown)

Title: Migrate to Survive

Presenter(s): Tony Cole, Bilfinger Industrial Automation Services

Synopsis: A major UK manufacturer had issues with their legacy Toshiba DCS platform and after a selection process it was decided that the replacement platform was to be SIMATIC PCS 7 delivered by Bilfinger Industrial Automation Services. The breakout session will discuss three key areas to the project. Firstly, the drivers behind the migration of the legacy DCS platform, second, the proposed solution and approach to the migration and third, the benefits to the end user.

Session: O (Minster)

Title: Plant Control Migration – From PLC / SCADA to the PCS 7 DCS Platform

Presenter(s): Philip Kinchington, Linde LCL

Synopsis: As plant builders of unmanned Nitrogen Gas Generators for the global market, and historical users of separate PLC and SCADA combinations for plant control and visualisation, the recent migration to PCS 7 has been a giant step. We will look at the concept / development and programming understandings that have to be considered when migrating known PLC code and SCADA graphics, to the single DCS environment.

Session: P (Wedgewood)

Title: Cyber Security - The Reality of the Issue...

Roundtable Discussion

Presenter(s): Rob Atkinson and Tim Salter, Syngenta

Synopsis: Cyber Security is an immediate issue in the Process Industries.
