Meeting industry-specific challenges

Food and Beverage Most industries are witnessing a new generation of control

systems and the food and beverage industries are no exception.

There is a move away from traditional DCS systems, to a

more flexible, open architecture modelled around a scaleable DCS

philosophy, enabling faster product development cycles.

Our ProcessLogix control system and RSBatch software are

specifically designed to meet these requirements – simply

and cost-effectively. Plant-wide integration is also an issue for

food and beverage manufacturers today, particularly in the drive to

introduce new products as quickly as possible to the marketplace.

Now you can tightly integrate the batch, processing and packaging

within your enterprise, through our Integrated Architecture.

PharmaceuticalOur solutions, whether based on the ProcessLogix system, or

a ControlLogix/RSView32 solution are designed with reliability

in mind. The ProcessLogix system combined with RSBatch

software offers redundancy for the server, controller and networks.

We can also work with you to supply all necessary documentation

for FDA validation. And you can tightly integrate the batch, process

and packaging functions within your enterprise, through our

Integrated Architecture. This plant-wide integration plays a key

role in reducing product development times – often a critical factor

for our customers in the pharmaceutical industry.

Speciality ChemicalsWith its high functionality in a distributed control architecture, our

ProcessLogix control system is helping chemical companies meet

increasingly demanding market requirements. ProcessLogix offers

an extremely flexible approach to production, allowing shorter

product development cycles without compromising product quality.

ProcessLogix offers you a scaleable, configurable system with

single point of data entry. Plus, with the option of a redundant

server and/or controller, you can be confident of a single point of

analysis in the case of system failure.

Our RSBatch software allows engineers to enter new recipes

without specific programming skills and to test the product in a

multi-product, multi-stream batch processing environment without

disturbing ongoing production.

Pulp and PaperEffective control solutions in the pulp and paper industry put a high

demand on integration of mixing, dosing and treating stages. Our

ProcessLogix control system combines a scaleable solution with an

integrated global database to give a single point of data entry.

Connectivity to drives systems comprising high functionality vector

drives with multiple synchronized axes is easily achieved through

our Integrated Architecture. This allows you to control your process

with a DCS-like system, but fully integrated into an engineered

drives system synchronized by our multi-function, multi-discipline

Logix control platform, communicating over ControlNet.

The result is a fully synchronized pulp and paper making process,

with operator stations to provide alarming, trending etc. for

process control and sequential control. Additionally, it is easy to

connect third party controllers, such as gauging systems, to our

open architecture.

CementIn the cement industry, the need to integrate functional solutions

with existing proprietary controls and algorithms, makes our

hardware and/or software based controllers an effective choice. A

soft control based solution, such as SoftLogix, offers a number of

benefits. The controller offers a truly open, Windows NT based,

object oriented development environment.

For example, with SoftLogix it is straightforward to modify

existing objects and update all occurrences of that object in one

step, rather than having to update each instance where the object

is used. The use of open Microsoft technologies in our

programming and control software, makes sharing data between

tools for plant design, process design and electrical wiring

diagrams, simple to achieve.

MetalsToday’s requirement for total control solutions in steel,

aluminium, copper and zinc processing plants – particularly in

the primary stages of reduction – are typically met with DCS such

as our ProcessLogix system.

ProcessLogix meets the demand for highly distributed control with

user-friendly engineering and operator tools. For the secondary

production stages, such as rolling and forming, we can work with

the OEMs involved, to integrate third party drives and motors as

required, using ControlNet as the open communications protocol.

UtilitiesWe have worked with water

authorities around the world to

implement PLC/SCADA

control systems for water/

wastewater plants. This includes

control of the treating, dosing

and pumping functions, along

with remote terminal unit monitoring and control.

Rockwell Automation controls are also used in the gas

industry, particularly at dispatching stations. Typically

these solutions are based on soft controllers, such as

SoftLogix, combined with FLEXEx I/O for use in

hazardous areas and RSView32 visualization software

for energy analysis.

Oil and GasProcessLogix offers all the advanced functionality of

traditional DCS systems in a small industrially-

hardened platform, making it an ideal process control

system for oil and gas applications. Redundancy

options provide the ability to securely control remote,

unmanned facilities. And because ProcessLogix

leverages open technology and industry standards, it

easily integrates with other critical stand-alone

systems, such as fire and safety, HVAC, and other

control applications. The ProcessLogix system can

provide basic regulatory control, advanced process

control or optimization for a single process unit or for

an entire operating facility. Whether upgrading from

pneumatics, optimizing operations or consolidating

information, ProcessLogix provides a flexible, cost-

effective solution.

An integrated architecture for plant-wide integration and more

Increasingly, companies in many industries are recognizing the

benefits to be gained by installing plant-wide control systems

which integrate process, sequential, motion and coordinated drive

control functions. Yet few automation suppliers today are able to

offer this capability.

Our Integrated Architecture gives you the ability to do all this and

more. At the heart of our Integrated Architecture you will find the

right Logix Platform for your control solutions; NetLinx capabilties

for communications and ViewAnyWare visualization solutions.

With this integrated solution you can be sure that your investment

in a process control system today, does not restrict your choice of

control and information solutions tomorrow.

Logix Platforms for integrated control

Our Logix Platforms offer a unified approach to multi-discipline

control, which is flexible, scaleable and allows multiple

processors, networks and I/O to be mixed without restrictions

in a chassis. By combining products like ControlLogix and

ProcessLogix you can be sure of a tightly integrated solution

for plant-wide control.

NetLinx for efficient communications

Communications is at the core of our Integrated Architecture.

We call our network solution NetLinx, because it harnesses

the communications capability of open networks such as

DeviceNet, ControlNet and Ethernet with the power of our RSLinx

software, which allows you to view all your active networks

through a single window and run any combination of supported

applications simultaneously.

ViewAnyWare for flexible visualization solutions

With ViewAnyWare, the same real-time data can be accessed for

different purposes, by a machine operator on the factory floor and

a manager viewing live production data via the internet half way

around the world. Each can view a scaleable version of the same

data using the hardware and software platforms and operating

systems best suited to the individual and the process.

ProcessLogix – the cost-effective DCS solution

ProcessLogix is a scaleable, open control system for batch and

process applications – and is an integral component in our

Integrated Architecture. It provides a process control solution that

integrates with other Logix Platforms for sequential, motion and

coordinated drives control, communicating via the ControlNet and

Foundation Fieldbus open networks. The result is seamless,

efficient control – throughout your process and discrete

applications.

DCS functionality with a PLC price profileProcessLogix blends a powerful, open Microsoft Windows NT-

based client/server system, controller, I/O, advanced engineering

tools and networking capabilities into a suite of features and

services never before available in such a cost-effective and flexible

control architecture.

10

Modular simplicityThe ProcessLogix server, station, engineering and operator tools,

are all designed to operate as a single, optimised system.

Regardless of the application, the controller uses a single set of

components – control processor, chassis, I/O, power supply,

communication modules and network. The interchangeability of

these modules allows you to easily ‘mix and match’ control

capabilities to fit your application.

Redundancy where you need itSince critical applications often call for redundant system

components, ProcessLogix can be expanded to include redundancy

if required, reducing the risk of a process shutdown due to single

component failure.

A familiar and intuitive operating environmentState-of-the-art, object-based graphics provide a powerful

interface for the user. The use of industry standards such as

Microsoft Windows NT and the Internet, minimises any

requirement for operator training.

ProcessLogix features include:● Integrated detail displays, custom graphics, alarms, history

and reports

● Integrated deterministic networking

● Peer-to-peer messaging between controllers

● A common interface for process and discrete control

● Standard and user-definable application templates

● Hierarchical control development environment

● Easy, high speed connectivity to other Allen-Bradley

controllers, including ControlLogix and PLC-

The next step is to configure the sequences for the

equipment modules. Using Control Builder you create and

group Sequential Function Blocks into a Sequential Control

Module to define the sequence of actions to perform the

relevant functions, using transactional condition and action

blocks, such as ‘Open Valve’ or ‘Change Setpoint’. When

finished, this is downloaded to the controller and tested

within Control Builder and/or an Operator Station.

All device detail and group displays, alarming and

navigation are pre-configured by the programming of your

control application and complete, ready for an operator to

run your facility. The only additional work needed is to

create any custom graphics required for the Operator

station using Display Builder.

Advanced engineering toolsA good process control system will allow you to easily

engineer your system following a standard process. This

is certainly the case with ProcessLogix.

Let’s start the process by considering the PID diagram

for a reactor in a process plant. There will be a range of

devices such as valves, pumps and transmitters

connected to the unit. Each device needs a Control

Module to perform its relevant function and assign

physical inputs and outputs.

A Control Module is generated by grouping Function

Blocks. A common PID loop, for example, is composed

by four Function Blocks (analog input, data acquisition,

PID calculation and analog output).

When complete, the Control Module is loaded to the

controller and directly tested from the monitoring

environment of Control Builder. Since ProcessLogix is

completely integrated you can view, test and operate

the PID loop from a ProcessLogix operator station to

ensure maximum productivity.

ProcessLogix StationImproved tools provide tightly integrated customer developedfaceplates for application specific templates.

Point DisplaysUsers can operate control strategies using these standard displays or, if they choose, create per-point custom detail displays.The ProcessLogix System provides maximum useability and flexibility at the same time.

Group DisplaysOperators can use group displays to monitor the status of I/O,network, controller and PID modules. Creation of group displaysrequires little or no effort as they are a by-product of theapplication development process.

Controlling batch, process control, and packaging using a single control architecture

People talk of process industries, but in reality what we are dealing

with are process applications within a wide range of industries.

Today, companies like Rockwell Automation are taking an innovative

approach to the way they deliver process solutions. Process

customers can now use a single Integrated Architecture across an

entire application, including raw material handling, batching,

processing and packaging.

ProcessLogix can be combined with the high speed discrete, process,

drives or motion control capability provided by ControlLogix to form a

powerful plant-wide integrated control solution. Because

ProcessLogix and ControlLogix share the same architecture, you can

achieve genuine short and long-term cost reductions because of

reduced spare inventories combined with the need to train on fewer

control, batch, network, I/O and HMI products.

Take a look at how our next generation controller, ControlLogix;

visualization software, RSView32; I/O and networks work with

ProcessLogix to help you optimize the power of your process

Extending the flexibility of your control solution

demand for increased communications to assure that data will

flow where needed in your system. ControlLogix communication

modules support open networks such as Ethernet, ControlNet and

DeviceNet networks.

I/O SolutionsControlLogix I/O modules include several, analog and speciality

I/O types, permitting either the ProcessLogix or ControlLogix

controllers to be used effectively across a variety of discrete and

process applications.

ControlLogix I/O applies the producer/consumer networking model,

which means that I/O modules produce information only when

needed rather than waiting for the controller to poll for data. In

this way communication is more efficient, the potential burden

on the controller decreased, and integration with other products

is improved.

The analog modules permit scaling to engineering units to take

place on board of the module. In addition, modules provide over-

range and under-range detection. Analog input modules provide 16

bit resolution and analog output modules provide 13 bit resolution

plus sign. ControlLogix I/O modules are software-configurable, to

either hold last state or default to a user-defined state.

Removal-and-insertion of modules under power (RIUP) enables

faster and more efficient maintenance with little interference to

the application.

ControlLogix

ControlNet

ControlNet ProcessLogixServer

Because of our broad product line, Rockwell Automation is well

positioned to provide a truly Integrated Architecture, composed of

a suite of hardware and software products that include

ProcessLogix, ControlLogix, I/O and RSView32. These, plus the

ability to interface with ControlNet, DeviceNet, EtherNet and

Foundation Fieldbus products, means you can benefit from a

complete control solution for both the discrete and process

segments of process applications.

ControlLogixControlLogix allows you to efficiently integrate sequential, process,

motion and coordinated drive control. Communications provide the

core for this powerful contemporary model. System bottlenecks are

eliminated because the ControlLogix passive data bus takes

advantage of producer/consumer network technology to provide a

high performance, deterministic and distributed solution.

Within a chassis, this flexible architecture permits multiple

processors, networks, and I/O to be mixed without restrictions and

as your system grows, ControlNet provides the link to distributing

control to additional chassis. The ControlLogix approach meets the

pgs1459 10/16/00 2:56 PM

ControlLogix and ProcessLogix also support FLEX and FLEX Ex

distributed I/O. FLEX Ex can be distributed throughout hazardous

areas to provide ultimate safety without incurring additional costs

for running individual I/O wiring over long runs to get to a safe area.

The FLEX Ex modules are connected via the 5 Megabit, dual media

ControlNet network into the Zone 1 hazardous area of your plant.

The modules are EEx ia Iic certified.

You can mix the FLEX Ex and FLEX I/O modules on the same

ControlNet network. To do this in a non-Ex area you use barriers

between the FLEX I/O and FLEX Ex modules. Alternatively, you

can use fibre optic hubs to decouple the Intrinsic Safe Area from

other areas.

RSView32 visualizationsoftwareRSView32 is an integrated, scaleable,

component-based HMI and SCADA for

monitoring and controlling automation

machines and processes. Designed for Microsoft Windows NT and

Windows 95/98, RSView32 integrates Microsoft Visual Basic for

Applications (VBA), which allows you to customize and extend its

core functionality. It is both an OPC client and server which provides

you with added flexibility for peer-to-peer networking and the ability

to implement a control system that easily and reliably interfaces

control products from multiple vendors.

RSView32 offers:

• Rich graphics and animation tools

• Customizable alarm monitoring

• Activity, alarm, and data logging with ODBC database support

• Historical and realtime trending on the same graphic display

• Event detection that can trigger automated features

• Project-level and system-level security features

To extend the functionality of RSView32 we’ve developed the core

product with Add-On Architecture (AOA). This allows RSView32 to

interoperate with other software and enables other software to

operate within RSView32. Other RSView32 options include

RSView32 Active Display System (ADS) which is a client/server

program that extends the reach of the software by allowing users

to remotely interact with RSView32 graphic displays from other

computers on the network.

RSTune and RSTune ProfessionalHardware for PID control is a significant investment and spending

a lot of money on advanced process control without tuning or

optimizing the loops can negate any of the benefits. Now you can

optimize your process with RSTune, the Microsoft Windows-

based software that makes analyzing and tuning PID control loops

fast, easy and accurate. Using RSTune, you can analyze,

simulate, document and download optimal tuning parameters,

all from an intuitive and familiar software environment. Two

Improving the quality and consistency of your batch processing

18

Control of batch processes has typically been a black art, with

many companies building their own solutions from scratch or

trying to adapt inflexible, off-the-shelf control systems to work in

their plants. Today you are facing constant pressure to keep costs

down, react quickly to changes in the business, and connect your

operations with the rest of the enterprise. And all this has to be

done without sacrificing quality and consistency.

Batch solutions from Rockwell Automaton combine flexible,

scaleable, standards-based hardware and software with a wide

range of industry specific services. The result is a more agile

response to changes in your business, reduced installation

costs, better quality and consistency in the process and tight

integration with the rest of your manufacturing enterprise.

RSBatch for consistent, efficient batch processingWhether performing simple unit-level operations or highly

complex, network-structured, multi-product tasks, RSBatch

provides the optimal solution. RSBatch allows you to configure

physical and procedural models, execute and control batches,

and integrate control actions and production information with a

diverse selection of complementary software.

Based on the ISA international batch control standard (S88.01),

RSBatch and RSBatch for ProcessLogix are scaleable object-

oriented, modular batch solutions. RSBatch is designed to work

with any vendor’s process-connected devices. RSBatch supports

the interface to ControlLogix, PLC-5 and SLC 500 controllers, as

well as a powerful interface to ProcessLogix.

Using RSBatch with ProcessLogixFor complex recipe and batch management functionality you can

add the RSBatch server to the ProcessLogix system. From this you

generate a graphical configuration of the batch server to define

your units, equipment modules, recipe parameters and

relationships. The configured phases will directly communicate

with the Sequential Control Modules controlled in the

ProcessLogix processor. Once this engineering step is complete,

all equipment modules are activated, controlled and tested from

the batch operator client, which can be fully integrated into the

ProcessLogix operator station. You can then generate your recipes

using the RSBatch Recipe Editor, a hierarchical Sequential

Function Chart editor that creates the necessary operations and

unit procedures.

pgs1459 10/16/00 2:56 PM

Integrating process control intoyour enterprise solution

An efficient enterprise solution is about more than just a process

control system. For many industries today it is fundamental to have

complete information available throughout the organization.

Whether the information is needed to meet government

regulations, minimize recall exposures or find the root cause

of every product malfunction, comprehensive product data is

invaluable in the manufacturing environment. Add to this the

ability of the control system to work with your Enterprise Resource

Planning (ERP) system to validate each and every step of the

production process and you have a solution that truly provides the

integrated infrastructure required to compete in today’s complex

marketplace.

Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP systems are well suited to

answer the question of what and how much to build, but fall short

on automating control of the process of how to produce it.

Consistently controlling and replicating corporate formulas and

recipes across multiple plants is a critical need.

The success of many manufacturing operations lies in the

availability of critical data to analyze and validate production

processes. Whether the data is used to meet customer-reporting

requirements or to provide insight into the efficiency of the

manufacturing process, an accurate, reliable link to the

Control System is required.

RSBizWare is a new set of Rockwell Software solutions that

help create an integrated, bi-directional pathway between ERP

systems, middleware-based software tools and manufacturing-

focused business applications. Currently there are two modules

available, Historian and ComplianceTrack. Additional modules

under development include Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE),

BatchHistorian, Scheduling and Unit Tracking.

● RSBizWare Historian is a solution for collecting, analyzing,

visualizing and reporting data and making that information

actionable. The Historian module is a complete and easy to use

solution for data collection and analysis.

● RSBizWare ComplianceTrack is a platform for developing

industry-specific compliance solutions that support the three

phases of the compliance lifecycle – preparation, data collection

and tracking and information analysis.
