This includes a pre-defined operating desktop for single, dual and optionally up to four monitor workstations and operator navigation for alarms, graphics and faceplates. Since no one knows how to operate your plant better than you do, DeltaV also is fully modifiable to match your plant. This includes everything, from graphics such as alarm summaries and faceplates, to the standard desktop and user security. With the appropriate system licenses, operators can add and operate batches, as well as view batch status from. Operators can also enter comments and answer prompts related to active batches. provides electronic signature verification for your critical parameters, addressing to the requirements of 21 CFR Part 11. The parameters that require electronic signature are defined with the control module, thus consistent electronic signature policies are applied to the parameter, regardless of the operator display being used. Predefined motor detail display Predefined motor faceplate Predefined faceplates and detail displays provide a consistent, powerful operator interface.
December 2006 Page 4 View executing control strategies in Control Studio Online Control Studio Online is one of many related DeltaV products available to expand your operators capabilities. Operator Graphics. includes powerful graphics capability. All control system information is readily available for display. Based on process conditions, virtually any graphic element can have visually dynamic characteristics, including color, size, and movement. Graphics for DeltaV Operate are configured from within. You can even use scanned plant images to help operator easily identify with the process being operated. Then add dynamic information easy! Each control module has pre-engineered pop-up faceplates, trends, and detail displays. The predefined process graphics buttons provide easy access to this information. Historical trends can be embedded within the graphics. You can also directly view the module s executing control strategy with Control Studio Online or with History View by selecting pre-defined buttons when these related DeltaV products are on the workstation. DeltaV graphics support powerful display calculations. You can compare values, perform math functions, etc., within the graphics. Sound can be fully integrated with your graphics to make the graphics more intuitive to operators. For example, a message describing the graphic could be played when the graphic is first accessed. Alarms. The alarm banner displays, in descending order, the five highest-priority alarms. You can view the process graphic associated with the control module in alarm by a single click of the alarm button. Alarms are also displayed on faceplates, process graphics and alarm summaries. The alarm summaries show all active alarms for the operator, all alarms for an area or all alarms for a unit. Alarms are organized by alarm priority. Although many alarms may be present in your system, only the alarms within an operator s area of responsibility are shown. This means that the operator is not distracted by alarms from other areas of the plant. However, if an operator with different responsibilities logs on, the alarm banner automatically adjusts for this new operator.
December 2006 Page 5 Alarms are prioritized, managed, and timestamped at the source (e.g., a controller). This ensures that an alarm is displayed with the same priority, acknowledgment status, and timestamp across multiple workstations. Each module can have unlimited standard and user-defined alarms. User-defined alarms can be easily created. These alarms can be a combination of other alarms and process conditions. Unlike other control systems, which require an expert system to achieve smart alarms, these come built into the DeltaV system. You can even dynamically change alarm priorities, enable or disable alarms, as your process requires. Alarm presentation is consistent across all Operator Stations. All alarms of the same priority are displayed identically throughout the system. Alarm priority characteristics are defined globally for the system with the DeltaV Explorer. For example, all high-priority alarms may be red, blink when unacknowledged, and produce the same horn sound. Horn acknowledgement is managed for all workstations. When the horn is silenced at one workstation, all other workstations sounding the horn for the same reason are also silenced. Trending. One or more historical and real-time trends can be embedded right in the process graphics, with the appropriate system license. The trend button on a faceplate displays a historical trend specifically for the control module you have selected. Historical trends can be accessed through History View. View overview of alarms by area Access to the highest-priority alarms by area provides instant operator focus on critical areas.
December 2006 Page 6 Toolbar Main Display Alarm Banner Embedded Historical Trend Standard Operating Desktop allows you to focus on the operator displays. Standard Operating Desktop. The DeltaV operating desktop is specifically designed for the critical needs of process automation. The operating desktop is divided into three predesigned sections: Button Toolbar. Located at the top of the screen, the toolbar provides single-click access to important graphic displays, directories, and other applications. The toolbar offers several predefined buttons. You can add, delete, or modify these predefined buttons and layout. Main Display. The center of the screen is the primary working area featuring the process graphics. These graphics range from typical process line graphics to artistically rendered plant graphics even photographs of the plant. Alarm Banner. The bottom of the screen is dedicated to the alarm banner. The alarm banner displays the five highest-priority alarms based on the operator currently logged on. By simply selecting an alarm, the operator goes directly to the process graphic and the faceplate is automatically displayed. Security and Span of Control. Individual users can have specific privileges that determine which functions (e.g., operate and debug) they are allowed to perform and which parameters they are allowed to change. These user privileges can have a defined span of control, enabling the privileges to be tailored to certain plant areas. Each Operator Station can be limited to certain plant areas for viewing and operating. This security feature can be defined for an individual station, as well as for specific users. Use the DeltaV exclusive Flexlock to ensure that operators remain dedicated to monitoring, troubleshooting, and maintaining the process according to plant operating philosophies. Display configuration. display configuration is included.
December 2006 Page 7 is one application used for both operation and display configuration. Display configuration is intuitive and designed for process control. Display configuration is loaded with predefined functionality such as faceplates, trends, alarm summaries, display directories, and detail displays. You can focus on building the right displays, instead of creating custom operator interface designs and layouts. However, you can also use these pre-defined displays to easily customize them to fit your requirements. For example, perhaps you would like to have alarm summary information as part of your process graphic. Simply open the DeltaV alarm summary, copy the appropriate display links and paste them into the new display. DeltaV software has been designed to allow you to "break apart" the standard displays so that you can easily build displays most appropriate for your plant. Dynamos simplify display configuration You don t need to know the physical location of a module or perform any database mapping to use the module information in a graphics display. All you need to know is the name of the module, and you can simply browse the system for that loop, much like browsing for files on your PC. Browse inside a display group and edit its properties Configure using intuitive dialogs and tree structure.
