Executive Summary


Executive Summary

PlantPAx® is our Modern DCS

Don’t Fight PAC vs DCS battles Customers do not want to buy or manage disparate systems PlantPAx does meet the requirements of a “Traditional DCS”

Our Modern DCS offers differentiation and economic value over a “Traditional DCS” Total cost of ownership reduction through one plant-wide system Built on modern technology to allow mobility, security and availability Open system allowing ease of integration, reducing integration costs

to end-users Scalable and flexible to allow for modern plants to be built


What is a DCS?

Control and I/O

• Redundant Controllers • Fault Tolerant Network • Channel Isolation, RTD • Process Network Capable

Engineering and Configuration

• Object Library • Engineering Workstation • Bulk Engineering

Asset Management • Instrumentation Management • Instrumentation Calibration

Operator Effectiveness

• Effective Displays • Procedural Control • Standards-based Alarms

Plant-wide eliminates need for specialty HW/SW or

increased engineering. Real world value compared to traditional

DCS (assume 50-100 discrete points) is ~ 16 hours engineering time.

Automation System Set of Engineering Tools Set of Spares

Set of Training Materials


Added Value Control sequential, motion, safety, process, drives, and condition monitoring within a

single control platform (or single controller if desired).

One software package for structured text, function block, ladder, and SFC

High availability of resources…ocean of talent Lowest total cost of ownership

Maintenance: “How bad is it?”

Technician: “How do I fix it?”

Operator: “Is it OK?”

Same savings of engineering time

as previous slide (no custom interface or specialty engineering work). Plus savings of technician time in diagnosing device failures

• DCS “Lite” solution often is different

hardware platform & engineering tools/software between the two systems

• Many DCS can’t easily integrate two

systems, even from the same company brand

• High minimum cost of traditional DCS • Traditional DCS – dedicated servers /

networks / single choice of controllers


Benefits of Using Modular & Skid Based Designs

Faster time to production for end user Ability to shift equipment inside plant or to another facility Skids arrive operational (FAT at OEM site) End user must only tie supervisory control and data acquisition Fewer corporate engineering resources required for end users Maintain consistent, high quality output on a global basis

Skid integration costs are end users highest project costs – 50-70% of skid machinery cost


Modern DCS: Modular Batch Management

Native ISA-88 Structure Simplify change management

and regulatory compliance

Integrated Analysis Tools Batch reports, material usage, genealogy, and solutions to optimize batch production

Scalable Platform From simple, single unit scale to highly complex, integrated batch solutions

Buy what you need: for single unit batch, why spend

$$ on server based batching

LBSM option in controller



18

Closed system on proprietary networks

Single vendor option for servers / workstations / switches

Poor integration to

business systems

Lack of current IT & network security


Modern DCS PlantPAx Solution: The Connected Enterprise

Time = Money

Making better informed decisions based on plant floor data

is priceless


The Stratix Portfolio Integrating Industrial and Enterprise Environments

Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching for simple to complex networks applications

Advanced security services Plant-floor and enterprise integration

Technology that offers Products that offer Advanced switching, routing & security

features Common tools for controls & IT Improved maintainability

… as well as Operations

and IT

Addressing the needs of Automation…



22

Sole source delivery & technology Little or no integration partners Limited local support Inflexible technology mode: licensee

module by I/O, one I/O choice, one computer choice for servers & work stations

High support costs

Rockwell Automation has one of the largest support networks by any automation company


The Power of Collaboration

Highly Qualified Partnerships

Strategic Alliances Distributors System Integrators OEMs Encompass™ Product Reference Licensed Developer

23

Simplify. Collaborate. Innovate.

Over 180 Process System Integrator Partners

Traditional DCS spares: 10-12 weeks Modern PlantPAx with distribution

network: days to 2 weeks
