Emerson VE4001S2T2B7 Discrete Input Plus Card: 32 Channels, 24V DC, Dry Contact

Ovation Simulation

Emerson offers Ovation Simulation solutions using virtual technology that faithfully replicates the 

Ovation DCS within a simulator configuration by using a few desktop workstations. 

This approach reduces hardware costs and footprint, allows easy portability for use throughout the facility, 

and greatly simplifies ongoing simulator maintenance and upgrades to track ongoing control system modifications. 

Ovation simulation is a valuable and flexible tool to improve plant operations. 

Typical applications include DCS validation prior to its installation, operator training programs, engineering upgrades,and control changes to improve plant performance.

Leveraging Digital Intelligence

The Ovation PlantWeb digital plant architecture begins with a strong foundation of intelligent field devices from industry leaders such as Fisher and Rosemount.

With their digital capabilities — including onboard microprocessors, embedded software, and openstandard communications — these field devices can…

• Deliver precise measurement and control to reduce process variability.

• Handle multiple variables to reduce the number of devices required.

• Perform diagnostics to monitor device health, predict problems, and avoid downtime.

Benefits of the Ovation power supply scheme include: 

▪ Separate main and auxiliary power supplies allow easy replacement 

▪ Elimination of cooling fans greatly reduces failure risks 

▪ Diode auctioneered power feeds assure continuous power availability 

▪ New design increases efficiency, reduces heat generation and enhances equipment life expectancy 

▪ Dual input (AC and DC) capability reduces spare parts 

▪ Hot-swappable power supplies enable on-line replacement

▪ Quick installation of the power supplies minimizes downtime and production loss ▪ Power factor correction reduces power consumption

Embedding DeltaV InSight into the automation system improves both ease of use and calculation performance.

InSight is easy to use because there is no additional configuration required. InSight configuration is automatic:

every time a control loop is added, deleted, or modified in the control system,

InSight configuration is automatically updated with the latest configuration.
