The Foxboro EvoTM

Process Automation System

Addressing the needs across your operation today and tomorrow.


Industry trends that impact you:

Plants are larger, more complex

• Increased monitoring load

• Lack of understanding

Increased levels of automation

• Operators become disengaged

• Role is reduced to dealing with upsets

Centralized Operations

• Loss of direct awareness


What are some of your top priorities?

Avoid frequent plant upsets that affect production & safety

Reduce brain drain & chance of operator error

Keep production on target


How can we help address these issues?

- Heighten operator alertness

- Improve operator response to unusual process behavior

- Provide a consistent operator experience

- Assist with knowledge capture and training

- Provide better context to operator


I need to detect abnormal situations before alarms occur

5x increase

I need to improve success rate in handling abnormal situations

70% success rate

96%success rate

37% over base case

High Performance HMI:

10% detection rate

I need to reduce the time needed to complete abnormal

situation tasks

18.1 minutes

10.6 minutes

41% reduction

What is the business impact?

Traditional HMI:

Unexpected events cost 3-8% capacity = $10bn a year

Challenge:

48%detection rate

77

Let’s talk about how…What’s new in Foxboro Evo


Foxboro Evo Control HMIPutting the ‘human’ back in HMI

> Standard Situational Awareness Library - Support advanced object functionality without

adding graphical support blocks to a CP

- Leverages Human Factors expertise and critical design value to our standard toolset

- Removes the additional design effort from the project implementation cycle - minimizing risk and cost, while maximizing value

Kick the tires! See Live Demo in Trailer


Foxboro Evo Control HMIStandard Situational Awareness Library provides:

Color reserved for alarms

Process lines muted

Devices & status indicators in grey

& white

Non-control essential items

removed from HMI

Analogue indicators

Triple coding of alarms


Foxboro Evo Control HMISmarter symbols = easier management

> Symbol management has never been more powerful

- Same Symbol can be used for Horizontal and Vertical

orientation

- Flow, Temperature, Pressure, Level, etc

- Easier, faster object and pattern recognition


Foxboro Evo Control HMIDesign easily to your preference

> Galaxy Style conventions- Graphic Properties can be tied to “Element Styles”- Each Styles can affect:

- Text- Fill- Line- Outline

- Example: Each Alarm Priority has an associated style. Changing the Alarm Style will affect all graphics tied to the alarm style.

Shifting the focus of what an HMI can offer:

Business Context

Technology& Specs

Vector-based graphics

256k color palette

How many “near miss” operational incidents do you

have?

Do you see a high degree of operational variability

between shifts?
