What's New?
PlantPAx system release 2.0 improves on existing capabilities to further strengthen our ability for plant-wide optimization. These latest generation features are described in the table.
Description High availability is a critical attribute of the PlantPAx system, and weve added significant flexibility and scalability without unnecessary investment. The additional capabilities include the following: Device Level Ring network topologies, which provide a highly available EtherNet/IP network without added cost for additional switches and infrastructure. New redundant I/O modules with redundant controller support for remote I/O on an EtherNet/IP network. Single-fault tolerance for native and third-party controllers by using alarm and events service. Enhanced diagnostic and error checking on the supervisory layer. Ability to import large changes into a running controller without disrupting the non-effected logic. Ability to edit a sequential function chart online without resetting the chart to its initial step. The PlantPAx system has expanded its offerings for connectivity options for communication protocols, including HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, and PROFIBUS PA. These are examples: HART solution includes higher density (16-channel) and lower density (2-channel) modules. PROFIBUS PA now also supports redundant linking devices. Fieldbus has new configuration software and a DTM that allows devices supporting only the EDDL environment to be configured and maintained via the PlantPAx asset management suite. Asset management tools also are integrated for intelligent motor control centers, variable frequency drives, condition monitoring, and power control components.
Design productivity
Careful evaluation of the typical DCS configuration workflows has allowed us to address steps that can be simplified or accelerated. These include the following: Initial sizing, architecture design, and documentation to make sure overall system performance meets or exceeds market expectations. Expanded PlantPAx library provides more reusable engineering, template objects, and diagnostics. Engineering and deployment tools that minimize human error prior to checkout and testing. A wider offering to meet diverse batch requirements includes batch and sequencing control for small, medium, to large plants. For simpler requirements, our new Logix Batch and Sequence Manager offers simple configuration and execution and easily integrates into a higher-level batch strategy for future growth. For more complex levels, the batch server software adds key capabilities, such as intelligent recipes, improved runtime user control, expanded data collection and reporting, and enhanced material management. A data management and analysis system to complement any plant size. FactoryTalk Historian collects and records data locally in the controller chassis, at the site level, or even larger solutions. Collected data is analyzed and reported to the appropriate user role, such as maintenance or control operators. The data also is reviewed for optimization to help deliver reliable production and economic gains. The CompactLogix controller platform offers a PlantPAx solution for skid equipment or turn-key systems in traditional process applications. This initiative introduces a set of architectures and efficiency tools to not only help equipment manufacturers deliver their scope quicker, but also offers the end-user simpler integration to, and more consistency with, their PlantPAx process automation system.

Process information
Chapter 1
A PlantPAx system is built on these system elements (combinations of hardware and software products).
Description The PASS is a required system element that provides central name resolution and look up services. The PASS hosts a FactoryTalk View HMI server and an RSLinx Enterprise data server. The PASS also contains software components for alarms and events. The OWS provides an interactive graphical interface to monitor and control the process. The EWS provides a single development platform for creating and maintaining control strategies and for configuring system elements. The EWS is also a central storage location for configuration management. The batch application server can be an in-chassis or separate computer that runs FactoryTalk Batch software to provide batch management, information management, process management, and unit supervision. The information management server is the central data point for process information. The information management server supports both data management and decision support and support data analysis from the server. The asset management server provides a centralized location to manage end field devices. HMI application servers provide additional system capacity, as needed. The number of servers depends on the operational areas of the plant, as well as the number of these components: Controllers Alarms, displays, data logs, and historian tags Operator workstations The ControlLogix controller supports continuous process applications, including Advanced Process Control functions, with its deterministic, time-based execution mode. The controller supports continuous, batch, discrete, and motion applications. Physical location and controller loading affects the number of controllers needed in a PlantPAx system. Each controller supports a specified number of field device interfaces. Each controller has the capacity for a specific number of control strategies, which can be estimated based on the type of I/O connected to a controller. In an independent class architecture, the independent workstation (IndWS) combines the rolls of the PASS, OWS, and EWS all in one computer.

Architecture Classes
Rockwell Automation leverages Integrated Architecture technologies and products to create a scalable process architecture. Rockwell Automation characterizes a process automation system based on its scope or architecture class. Architecture classes define system capabilities that can be scaled by modifying the same system elements: Independent system architecture for unit control Centralized system architecture for area control Distributed system architecture for plant-wide and enterprise operations
Distributed
Centralized Independent
Multiple Servers/ Multiple Clients Single Server/ Multiple Clients Single Server/ Single Client
Distributed
The distributed system is a multi-server, multi-client configuration that supports automating a process with semi-independent areas. The distributed class architecture expands on the centralized class by adding application servers to interconnect multiple process areas into a system. A distributed system can have up to four control areas.

Redundant I/O
The 1715 redundant I/O system lets a ControlLogix controller communicate to a remote, redundant I/O chassis over an EtherNet/IP network. The 1715 redundant I/O system provides fault tolerance and redundancy for critical processes by using a redundant adapter pair and multiple I/O modules that have enhanced diagnostics.
Redundant Controllers
The 1715 I/O system supports as many as 24 I/O modules per set of adapters.

Redundant Networks
Consider your topology when weighing redundancy options for EtherNet/IP and ControlNet networks.
EtherNet/IP Network
Ethernet networks have active infrastructures that rely on switches for managing traffic. You can design a network with individual switch devices and devices that have embedded switch technology.
Table 11 - Redundant EtherNet/IP Topologies
Topology Redundant Star Recommended for supervisory networks. Description A redundant star topology is essentially where every Layer 2 access switch has dual connections to a Layer 3 distribution switch. Devices are connected to the Layer 2 switches. Advantages Resiliency from multiple connection failures Faster convergence to connection loss Consistent number of hops provide predictable and consistent performance Fewer bottlenecks Disadvantages Additional wiring and ports required Additional configuration complexity
A DLR network is a single-fault tolerant ring network intended for the interconnection of automation devices. This topology has switches embedded into the end devices themselves; no additional switches are required. The DLR topology does require additional effort to set up and use as compared to a linear network. Advantages Ability to survive a single point of failure or a device being powered down on the ring Simplified cabling Ability to cover long distances with 100 m allowed between each copper segment Very fast network convergence Disadvantages Supervisor-node configuration required Additional configuration complexity Variable number of hops can make performance difficult to predict

(1) Not characterized with PlantPAx system testing, but assumed a valid configuration.
Additional Ethernet features that support high availability include these advanced network resiliency and convergence techniques: EtherChannel and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provide additional bandwidth between two devices by aggregating multiple Ethernet connections into a higher bandwidth virtual connection. These protocols quickly recover from the loss of one or more channel members. Flex Links is a Cisco-proprietary resiliency protocol that is for use in redundant star networks. This protocol connects an access switch to a distribution switch.

Redundant Servers
Based on risk analysis of the probability and impact of a component failure, you may choose to make that component redundant in your architecture. That may include servers, controllers, network, or infrastructure. The PASS and AppServ-HMI servers can be configured as redundant for the following software components: HMI server Alarm server Data server

Skid-based Equipment
The PlantPAx process automation system is a complete, scalable system, from single controller to a fully distributed set of equipment. You can easily integrate skid-based equipment into the overall system. The CompactLogix controller platform offers a solution for skid-based equipment or turn-key system: The application requires the control of multiple loops for temperature, pressure, flow, or level. The application runs as a sub-system with sequencing and automation. The application is controlled as part of the overall process, accepting reference inputs and delivering process variables to an overall programmable controller.
(1) These values are maximum limits. You may not be able to achieve all of these in a single controller. (2) Representative control strategy (PID loop) includes 1 analog input, 1 analog output, 1 PIDE instruction, 8 logic/math instructions, and 22 alarms with PlantPAx process objects.

PlantPAx batch management and control solutions offer flexible production, equipment-independent recipe management, batch-independent equipment control, and regulatory compliance. The scalable integrated solutions leverage industry standards to meet small, basic batch and sequencing needs, as well as distributed, comprehensive batch and sequencing needs. System size varies from small to large and system requirements vary from simple to complex. Not all basic systems are small or have simple requirements, and not all comprehensive system are large or complex. Small systems can have complex requirements or vice versa.

Basic solutions provide capabilities for small or simple systems to use core system functions, including Logix5000 controllers and FactoryTalk View HMI. Generally these solutions do not need the functionality provided by server-based FactoryTalk Batch software solutions. Comprehensive solutions provide capability for large or complex systems to use modular software components. This includes FactoryTalk Batch software, eProcedure software, Material Manager software, integrated visualization, batch reporting services, and integrated security and audit services. Each solution can migrate to the next. These four solutions overlap because each individual solution can solve many of the same core requirements. All solutions support PhaseManager software and the PlantPAx Process Library.

Basic batch and sequencing options are controller-based solutions that rely on programming to manage the application.
Coded solutions generally target systems where procedural flexibility is not the primary concern. This solution requires changes to the controller program to change the recipe or sequence. Formula flexibility can be added through use of tools such as Recipe Pro/Plus or custom code. In these systems, the procedure is fixed, but parameters can be flexible. Generally these solutions are optimized for fixed sequences, fixed formulation, and simple equipment control local to the process.
Basic Configured
Basic Configured Logix Batch & Sequence Manager
Configured solutions generally address requirements for higher level of flexibility. This includes both procedural (sequence) and formula (setpoint). These generally are focused on independent, stand alone units (mixers, blenders, reactors). However, these systems do not require a server and software such as FactoryTalk Batch software for execution. This solution leverages the Logix Batch and Sequence Manager application. The Logix Batch and Sequence Manager application leverages the Logix5000 platform for control code and FactoryTalk View software for visualization. This application is freely available as part of PlantPAx tools and applications. The application enables local, single unit supervision and control, but supports multiple, independent units in a single controller.

Chapter 4
The Logix Batch and Sequence Manager application does the following: Offers configurable equipment definitions (phases, parameters, report registers) and flexible recipe management (master/control recipe definition) with HMI secured edits Leverages standard ISA-88 models for control (state model, recipe model) Offers connection to equipment through a bit interface or standard PhaseManager interface Supports ControlLogix controller redundancy Features an intuitive runtime interface (If you choose FactoryTalk View ME software on a PanelView Plus terminal, there is a limitation of a 12-inch or larger screen and 600 x 800 resolution or greater) For the Logix Batch and Sequencing Manager application, see the Rockwell Knowledgebase Answer ID 62366 at http://rockwellautomation.custhelp.com.
Comprehensive batch and sequencing solutions leverage core Logix functionality (PhaseManager software) in conjunction with batch software (FactoryTalk Batch software). PhaseManager software continues to be the basis for process control code in the controller. FactoryTalk Batch software provides recipe management, information management, process management, and unit supervision. The comprehensive batch and sequencing options run on a server to manage the application. The server can be an in-chassis module or an application server.

Advanced Process Control (APC) is an umbrella term that covers a wide range of control technologies from simple regulatory loops to complex multi-unit optimizations. Depending on the context, anything more sophisticated than a simple PID loop can be considered APC. The PlantPAx portfolio for APC provides a comprehensive set of tools and solutions to optimize performance. This scalable framework lets you add the tools you need: Control regulatory loops, individual process units, and plant operations Use modelling techniques to achieve more accurate and robust models

Chapter 6
There are two main categories for APC technologies: regulatory control and supervisory control: Regulatory control focuses on the process variables (levels, flows, temperatures, pressures, and so forth) and is designed to improve poorly performing loops and automate loops that are typically run in manual by the operator. They include techniques such as ratio, feed-forward, cascade, and decoupling control and can be used to compensate for process dead-time and simple process coupling and nonlinearities that a PID loop cannot handle. Supervisory control focuses on the product being manufactured (cement, polyethylene, ethanol, paper, and so forth) and is designed to control the various product specifications and parameters that determine whether the product is marketable. Parameters include impurity percentage, moisture content, color, density, and fineness. Instead of making direct control outputs, supervisory controls generate setpoints for lower-level regulatory controls, thus good regulatory control performance is an essential first step before implementing supervisory control. APC function blocks can be used in place of PID instructions for loops with long dead-times and interacting loops. The APC function blocks require RSLogix 5000 software: Catalog number 9324-RLDAPCENE provides a license for use with one Logix5000 controller. Each additional controller requires a separate license, available as catalog number 9324-RLDAPCCLENE.

Chapter 6
Fuzzy Designer
Fuzzy logic is useful when a well-tuned PID controller does not provide desired response, but the expert knows from experience how to modify controller settings on-the-fly. Fuzzy Designer software lets you convert expert know-how into a control solution.
Soft Sensors
Soft sensors built with PlantPAx ModelBuilder can automatically predict product quality parameters in real-time and provide backup or an alternative to analyzers to generate feedback for mission-critical control systems: ModelBuilder software provides offline data analysis and modeling. SoftSensor Designer software converts models to Add-On Instructions.
The most common supervisory control technique is Model Predictive Control (MPC), which can handle large multivariable processes and control these product parameters while simultaneously optimizing the production process through maximizing rates and yields, reducing raw material usage, minimizing energy, and so forth. The Pavilion8 software platform from Pavilion Technologies, a Rockwell Automation company, is a modular software platform that includes modules to control, analyze, monitor, visualize, warehouse, and integrate information. MPC technology is an intelligence layer on top of basic automation systems that continuously drives the plant to achieve multiple business objectivescost reductions, decreased emissions, consistent quality, and production increases every production minute.

MPC technology continuously assesses current and predicted operational data, compares them to desired results, and computes new control targets to reduce inprocess variability and improve process performance.

In process automation, maintaining critical operations requires doing your engineering best to make sure nothing gets lost, stops working, or is damaged. This generally involves implementing a highly available automation system. PlantPAx enables high availability by offering redundancy options at each level of the architecture. You can choose the level of redundancy you need without paying for redundant components you dont need.

Chapter 7
The global process industry loses $20 billion, or 5% of annual production, due to unscheduled downtime and poor quality, according to the ARC Advisory Group. ARC estimates that almost 80% of these losses are preventable and 40% of the preventable losses are due to operator effectiveness issues in the control room. Availability is the probability that a system is operating successfully when needed. Availability (A) is calculated by using this formula: A = MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR) where: MTBF = Mean Time Between Failure MTTR = Mean Time to Repair Factors that affect maintainability include the following: Diagnostics for detecting and isolating failures Annunciation of faults Troubleshooting tools Trained personnel Accessibility Ability to add components or make changes online Investing in a high availability system over simply an available one can make a significant difference in lost time or costs seconds versus days or hundreds versus millions of dollars. The average hour of plant downtime roughly costs $12,500, but is substantially more at many continuous process plants, according to ARC research. Using the $12,500 average, downtime for users with 99% availability can cost an estimated $1,050,000 per year, compared to just $104 for users with 99.9999% availability.

High availability encompasses productivity, including reliability and maintainability. Reliability is the likelihood that a device will perform its intended function during a specific period of time. Maintainability is the ability of a system to be changed or repaired.
High Availability Options The PASS and AppServ-HMI servers can be configured for redundancy of the following software components: HMI server Alarm & Event server Data server The AppServ-Batch server supports different levels of fault tolerance. For more information, see Batch High Availability Options on page 41. PlantPAx supports off-the-shelf high availability options for servers from our encompass partner Marathon Technologies or through virtualization by using VMWare's ESXi architecture.
Networks
The following applies for EtherNet networks: NIC teaming on servers and workstation uses two physical Ethernet cards on each server and workstation Dual Ethernet media can connect the NIC cards to two separate level 2 switches Dual Ethernet fiber media can connect the level 2 switches to separate switches on a level 3 stack. A Device-level Ring network can be used to connect the I/O racks and devices to your simplex or redundant controllers. The ControlNet network supports redundant media and adapters.

Select safety equipment based on SIL requirements. For example, if your system needs to continue running under a fault condition, you require process safety, such as an ICS Triplex system. If a fault occurs and you want to shut down safely, you select machine safety, such as a GuardLogix system.
Safe, reliable systems safeguard people, property, the environment, and reputations. Safety Integrity Level certification makes it simpler, easier, and less expensive to meet growing standards compliance requirements worldwide. Common ControlLogix components and tools help customers lower lifecycle costs for both process control and for separate, independent safety instrumentation. The SIL 2 certification of ControlLogix products assures the suitability of ControlLogix components, development tools, networks, and databases for use in safety applications up to and including SIL 2. Specific hardware, firmware revisions, and software versions meet SIL certifications. To make sure you have the correct equipment, see the Using ControlLogix in SIL 2 Application Safety Reference Manual, publication 1756-RM001.

ICS Triplex systems use a triple modular redundant (TMR) architecture. Triple redundancy eliminates the possibility of any single component failure causing a spurious or false trip. ICS Triplex integration with PlantPAx systems includes OPC connectivity to FactoryTalk applications and CIP connectivity including profile support in RSLogix 5000 software. Both the Trusted and AADvance systems share a common Ethernet/IP network within a PlantPAx system. In addition, the AAdvance system supports the CIP producer/consumer communication protocol.

Domain Controller
A domain controller manages access to network resources (such as applications and printers) for a group of users. Domain authentication, whether its an existing domain or a new one, is recommended. Follow these guidelines for the domain controller: A domain controller is required if there are 10 or more Ethernet nodes (IP addresses). The domain controller is a separate computer. Do not load any application software on the domain controller. Load all system application software on the other computers such as the PASS, application server, OWS, and EWS. Microsoft support does not recommend running applications on the domain controller, and certainly not applications that require more than Authenticated User privileges to run. The domain controller must be local to the system workstations and servers (within the local firewall) and not remote to the system.

Migration Tools
Rockwell Automation provides a DCS migration program to assist customers and integrators with migrating legacy DCS systems to PlantPAx systems. Rockwell Automation works internally and with partners to develop tools and to support migration and conversion projects. This program also works to develop engineering competence and capacity within Rockwell Automation and its partners for planning, executing, and supporting DCS migration projects. Rockwell Automation supports the migration of these systems to PlantPAx systems: ABB (Bailey) Net90 and Infi90 control systems Honeywell TDC 2000, TDC 3000, and TPS systems Honeywell IPC620 programmable logic controllers Emerson (Fisher Controls) PROVOX systems Invensys (Foxboro) I/A systems Rockwell Automation ProcessLogix (PLx) systems For each system, there is a general migration plan that describes the particular goals and methods for system migration, as well as specifics on the tools currently available for migrating that system. Other systems that Rockwell Automation has tools and services include the following: Emerson (Westinghouse) WDPF and WDPF II systems NovaTech D/3 systems (original company (EMC Electronic Modules Corp) and its technology (S/3 and D/3) went through multiple acquisitions, including Rexnord, Banner, Texas Instruments, and GSE) Siemens (Moore) APACS systems Schneider (Square D originally, Crisp Automation) CRISP systems Rockwell Automation provides extensive migration and integration capabilities for PLC-based systems and other third-party systems.
