I/O on Demand
The engineering and management of I/O (input/output) subsystems is a
time-consuming element of process automation. This is where
I/O on Demand
comes into play. According to Emerson, the automation system will deliver
‘what you want, when you want, where you want it’. What this means for
users is DeltaV provides the I/O that you demand.
How will this impact a project? The benefits are threefold: it shortens the
project timeline, minimises system footprint, and improves future
flexibility. As a result, Claudio Fayad - MD at Emerson - states that
“automation is no longer a project bottleneck and is off the critical
path”.
Therefore, anyone who has experience using and maintaining DeltaV will play
a key role in limiting project risk and prove to be a vital team member.
Scalability
While DeltaV was developed to assist with some of the most complex
automation projects, the system architecture can be scaled down to suit
even those smaller projects. Not only that but the automation system can
also be scaled as a business grows. And because of Emerson’s commitment to
human-centred design (HCD), tasks like this can be executed by anyone with
DeltaV knowledge, without the need to consult personnel outside of the
business.
Where DeltaV really proves its worth is in its ability to fit a project’s
operations, so users don’t need to alter a project to fit the system.
Whether your goal is to become a DeltaV engineer or a software quality
engineer with knowledge of the system, you’ll be able to help your company
transform its operations at every stage of growth.
Embedded intelligent control
Using predictive technologies and embedded learning algorithms, DeltaV
calculates process models and diagnostics. As a result, the system creates
synergy between loop diagnostics and tuning. This removes the tedious tasks
associated with plant engineering, freeing up time to test how you can run
your operations at its full potential.
The removal of the more monotonous elements of plant engineering supports
the argument that automation doesn't replace workers, it creates new and
more exciting jobs. To land these jobs, you’ll need to illustrate that
you’re an automation specialist.
If you do choose to learn the applications of DeltaV, you’ll be able to
quickly pick up the knowledge of other DCSs. And with the DCS market now
worth over $16.18 bn, learning about these computerised control systems will help you propel
your career. For example, if you’re already an
automation engineer, you might find that many senior automation engineer roles stipulate that
you need excellent DeltaV knowledge.
