  • Exploring Local, Remote and Distributed I/O
    Exploring Local, Remote and Distributed I/O Dec 03, 2022
    Process and factory automation controllers connect to sensors, instruments, valves and other equipment through input/output (I/O) cards or racks that are either collocated within the same cabinet (local) at the controller/CPU or installed farther away (remote). Defining the difference between local and remote I/O is straightforward, but the defining differences between remote I/O and distributed I/O can have their nuances and are further confounded by each vendor’s definitions or marketing collateral, just as many automation vendors prefer a name like process automation controller (PAC) over programmable logic controller (PLC). The most used I/O type is local I/O. It is most often from the same vendor as the controller/CPU, since it is ordinarily directly connected to the controller/CPU by integrated racks or cages that hold 4-, 8-, 16- or 32-point I/O cards. Some local I/O expansion racks, or bricks, as they are often referred to, can be separate from the main CPU and connected over a digital bus or highway via twisted pair wires or Ethernet cables, albeit installed within the same physical cabinet. Since local I/O is typically intended to be installed within the same enclosure as the controller/CPU, environmental operational characteristics and hazardous area approvals are not as robust as remotely installed I/O. Remote I/O characteristics Next comes the challenge of outlining the different characteristics between remote I/O and distributed I/O, especially since many vendors refer to them interchangeably. If we use history and release to market timelines as a basis, remote I/O was first and thus less flexible, capable and smart as compared to later released distributed I/O. Initially, remote I/O was nothing more than local I/O reconfigured and housed to be remotely installed from its corresponding controller/CPU Communication was no longer along a backplane but now designed to convert its connected analog I/O signals to a digital format that was transmitted back to the host controller over proprietary buses or highways. Remote I/O is limited in scope and does not contain a complex or advanced CPU or processor to handle math, complex control, and peer-to-peer communication with other remote I/O modules, or allow the connection of additional I/O modules. While operational characteristics and hazardous approvals exceed that of most Local I/O products, it is still somewhat more limited than its advanced cousin, distributed I/O. Distributed I/O characteristics Distributed I/O harnesses all the capabilities of remote I/O and more. It is likely, but impossible to determine, that distributed I/O derived its name from “distributed control.” As the name suggests, distributed I/O is a more complex piece of equipment that can be distributed throughout a process plant or automation facility without the concern of continuous communication with its host controller/CPU. This is because most distributed I/O products contain an advanced CPU and often real-time o...

  • Emerson’s New I/O Interface
    Emerson’s New I/O Interface Nov 26, 2022
    Emerson, a global software and engineering leader, has released DeltaV™ IO.CONNECT, a new subscription software service designed to help plants simplify modernization with an open architecture pathway that makes it possible to transition to more efficient control schemes without the need to completely overhaul existing infrastructure. In a traditional plant with tens of thousands of I/O points and many controllers, this can save hundreds or thousands of hours of labor and up to 40% of the capital required for a total rip-and-replace upgrade. Many plants still using control systems from 20 or 30 years ago are unable to reap the benefits of modern, digital technologies that optimize operations and improve sustainability. Modernizing those systems is complicated by the extensive time, labor and capital expense required to convert the old wiring, terminations and other infrastructure they are built upon, leaving plants “locked in” to legacy control technologies and expensive service contracts. DeltaV IO.CONNECT provides a faster, easier, more cost-effective path to replacing any legacy system with a new DeltaV distributed control system while leaving existing I/O infrastructure in place. The solution is provisioned as a subscription software component of Emerson’s Guardian™ Support offering, helping plants remain always up-to-date, driving strategic goals and meeting business needs with future-proof operation. No legacy vendor software is required for configuration and maintenance of I/O. By preserving existing I/O and leaving wiring intact, plants can reduce new system transition time by over 90%, keeping production on pace, reducing risks and minimizing downtime. Once the interface is installed and the plant is running new control technologies, technicians can update I/O on their preferred schedule while the plant runs, shifting what used to be a capital expenditure to the operations budget and driving immediate return on investment through improved process control performance. “Many best practices for better visibility and improved performance are out of reach for the numerous plants still running legacy equipment today,” said Claudio Fayad, vice president of technology for Emerson’s process systems and solutions business. "Moreover, many of the oldest systems are reaching the end of their product support lifecycles, forcing some plants to modernize on a very tight schedule. DeltaV IO.CONNECT empowers industrial plants to choose a digital control system with all the advanced automation features they need, while still scaling at their own pace to better manage transition-related outages and capital expenditures,” said Fayad. DeltaV IO.CONNECT will be on display at the Emerson Global Users Exchange, Oct. 24-28, 2022 in Grapevine, Texas.

  • Emerson Introduces First Pneumatic Valve System
    Emerson Introduces First Pneumatic Valve System Jun 01, 2022
    Emerson Introduces First Pneumatic Valve System with Integrated Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture AVENTICS Series Advanced Valve Systems with OPC UA is a digital twin solution that solves interoperability challenges while improving productivity and efficiency FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (May 30, 2022) – Today, Emerson announced that its AVENTICS™ Series Advanced Valve (AV) valve system with Advanced Electronic System (AES) Profinet and Ethernet/IP is now available with preinstalled Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA) functionality, making it the first and only valve system to offer this directly integrated capability. The AES helps users solve interoperability challenges and access data more easily while the integration of the digital twin can improve productivity and efficiency. A valve system with integrated OPC UA functionality simplifies communication with upper systems since data and analytics are received via the valve system and communicated directly to upper systems, no gateway necessary unless deeper analysis or local dashboards are required. This can result in costs savings for users since it’s more complex and expensive to receive analytics from a valve system without OPC UA. OPC UA functionality also expands the connected capabilities of the valve system itself, making it easier for users in industries such as automotive, food and beverage, packaging, pulp and paper industries and more to digitally transform. When organizations undergo digital transformation, key protocols such as OPC UA embedded in technologies enable device monitoring and machine connectivity when sending data from a valve system to an upper system. The AES is simple to integrate and connect to new or existing applications and machines and provides easy access to data and analytics without changing the programmable logic controller (PLC). “The AVENTICS Series AV System with OPC UA is a notable leap forward in the flexibility and integration of valve systems because it makes the transition to IIoT significantly simpler for engineers,” said Nils Beckmann, senior manager of product marketing, IIoT at Emerson. “With OPC UA, engineers don’t need to change a whole system or architecture to access valve data. They now have the flexibility to continue using their own cloud systems and software to gain easy access to data and analytics without disrupting or modifying the PLC.” Developed by the OPC Foundation, OPC UA is a platform independent, information technology standard for sensor-to-cloud data exchange that features integrated security.
