ENTERPRISE AUTOMATION

Enterprise Because SYSTEM302 was built to connect with the SAP R/3 ERP system,
Solution your sales department may now know what delivery they can promise for
a new order, and see the progress of existing orders - attending the
customers better. Your accounts department can directly find out how
much has been delivered to the customer in order to invoice correctly in
a timely manner. SYSTEM302 lets you coordinate sales, accounting and
other business functions with plant floor information.

Open Yet A suite of integrated software applications and wizards designed for each
Integrated other and around key open technologies integrates seamlessly to the
system hardware while at the same time giving you the liberty to connect
with hardware and software from other manufacturers – patching with
drivers is a thing of the past. You have greater freedom to chose the parts
you want, and even build the system yourself. Old proprietary technology
still available today, may not be available the day you need to expand,
therefore investment in a modern standards based SYSTEM302 today is
crucial regardless of what you are using now.
SYSTEM302

Scaleable Ensure that you can expand or change later, without investing more
than you can afford. As a plant owner you have a need to respond
quickly to changing market conditions. You may have to increase
capacity, change to another product or adapt to some other demand.
The flexibility and scalability of the SYSTEM302 architecture allows
you to reconfigure and expand your system to the new conditions
without major reinvestments. Precious capital need not be tied-up,
but can be used productively.

Manage Process SYSTEM302 lets you manage your process and devices from a single
and Devices system. The workstations provide a user friendly interface to all real
information, anywhere in your plant, any time – allowing you to take
better decisions with greater confidence. A single database ensures
consistent information for everyone throughout the enterprise.

Proactive Instrument management is an integral part of SYSTEM302 which allows you to minimize down-
Maintenance time and thereby increase capacity for more competitive delivery time and cost. Efficiently
maintained devices, produce better quality cheaper.

Web Connectivity Since SYSTEM302 is based on TCP/IP, Internet connectivity lets you operate and configure remote
units from a central location at the main plant site. Likewise it allows sites, spread over a region or
world, to be managed from a central location within the enterprise. On a smaller scale, the system
may be accessed from any computer if connected to an office LAN. Pooling and reduction of
resources within the corporation is therefore possible, resulting in higher efficiency and savings.

Fieldbus Expertise Enjoy expertise in mordern processes and instrumentation. The engineering services available as
part of the SYSTEM302 product gives you a complete solution. Our process knowledge makes it
easy for us to understand applications, build systems and communicate with customers and
engineering companies. As pioneers in the area, no vendor anywhere can match our experience
and leadership in Fieldbus.

Use of Leading Any technology change such as Fieldbus, Windows and OPC etc. affects any company involved,

Technology including end-users. A plant using obsolete technology cannot compete with others. An
engineering company insisting on obsolete engineering practices cannot build end-users the
plants they need. Being late is also a risk, being early is an opportunity to establish a competitive
leadership position. As a leader others will follow you, reinforcing your position and increasing
returns for you.
Seize the leadership opportunity offered by new technologies.

 Introduction
The operating environment for industry has changed markedly over the past few years.
Information technology is getting increasingly important for productivity and profitability.
SYSTEM302 is the third generation system from Smar and the first to leverage the power of this
technology.

A major trend in the automation industry is the blurring of the technological boundaries between
the different automation areas. Since the introduction in the seventies of PLC and DCS in the
manufacturing and process automation industries respectively, the difference between the two is
now virtually indistinguishable. As Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) gains increasing importance
for plants to maintain a competitive edge, ERP is also becoming an essential part of plant
automation. ERP is an integral component of SYSTEM302, providing a flexible and responsive
manufacturing solution capable of quickly responding to changing consumer requirements.

Merging of
automation areas. The new control and management paradigm:
• Flexibility to change configuration to meet demands.
Enterprise Business Domain • Distribution of time-critical functions like control
Resouce
to the field.
SYSTEM302

Planning
• More non-process information for
process and instrument management.
Enterprise
Automation
• Leaner architecture for lower cost.
• Multi-vendor interoperable for wider choice and
Plant Domain cheaper spares.
Process Machinery • Completely digital.
Control Control
• Scaleable at low cost.

Another of the key trends in process control is the movement towards standards based
interoperability. Proprietary DCS systems are costly. As increasing numbers of companies realize
that cost of maintenance, upgrade and expansion of such systems is skyrocketing, they require a
system which is easy to maintain and has alternative component vendors. SYSTEM302 is the first
such system. This is made possible because SYSTEM302 is built entirely around the open FOUNDATIONTM
Fieldbus specification which step by step is becoming accepted as the IEC 61158 set of Fieldbus
standards. Smar is first in a technology where others are bound to follow.

SYSTEM302 is extremely easy to reconfigure in order to quickly change the production to respond
to new demands from customers. Control strategies and device configurations can be edited or
downloaded from the workstations. A minimum of hardware also makes major changes easy.

SYSTEM302 C4
 smar
A third major trend is in the accelerating pace of the application of new technologies aimed
towards completely digital systems with functionality distributed to the field reducing system
complexity and cost. Fieldbus is the logical step improving on the familiar DCS - even more
distributed and even more digital. It is a Field Control System (FCS).

SYSTEM302 is not a hybrid of Fieldbus and old DCS technology, it is a true FCS. The leaner
architecture of a FCS has done away with several hierarchical levels, including expensive
controllers and I/O subsystems, resulting in a architecture with only two levels: plant and
business.

Smar has worked together with leading software and hardware companies to provide an
integrated solution of software, field devices, interfaces and workstations. Previous systems
based on PLCs were not made for smart transmitters and were not realizing their full potential
thereby making them dumb. Totally integrated and based on Fieldbus, the result is a system
which is easier to expand and setup, reducing the integration labor.

DDC DCS FCS

SYSTEM302 is based on the latest control and information technologies. These are enabling
technologies that made the power and scalability of SYSTEM302 possible. 32 bit PCs and
Windows NT is a familiar platform used for a user interface easy to work with and integrate with
other software. OPC/OLE/DCOM/ActiveX and FOUNDATIONTM Fieldbus technology makes integration
of other hardware to SYSTEM302 simple and seamless. TCP/IP and UDP/IP technologies makes
networking easy.

Smar is a leading provider of products and services for the worldwide process control industries.
Through its worldwide offices and representative network, Smar provides instrumentation,
systems and services for measurement, control, supervision and actuation. Smar systems, products
and services are widely used in the petrochemical, chemical, cement, pulp & paper, pharmaceutical,
food & beverage and power generation industries. Water treatment and other municipal services,
feed mills, metallurgy, textile, sugar and alcohol, semiconductor, fertilizer are other examples.

 Benefits
Lower initial cost SYSTEM302 eliminates most of the hardware associated with a traditional DCS. Controllers and I/O
sub-systems are greatly reduced since digital Fieldbus instruments are digitally networked to
operator workstations. Fieldbus instruments also perform control and computation, thereby
reducing expensive control cards and cabling. Add to this, reductions in engineering and cabling
schedules and the results are overall project savings.

Construction and installation is simplified because several devices may be multidropped on a

single pair of wires. The number of wires, marshaling racks and cable trays are reduced, and
elevated false floors in control rooms are no longer required. As in many modern solutions,
hardware is being replaced by software. Engineering savings are also achieved because SYSTEM302
engineering software tools generate documentation automatically.

Leaner architecture results in great initial hardware savings.

SYSTEM302

• Lower Initial Cost • Lower Cost of Expansion and Change

• Flexibility • Easier Operation
• Interoperability • Simplified Engineering
• Improved Information Availability and Integrity • Quiker and Easier to Learn
• Lower Maintenance Cost • Increased safety
• Increased Product Quality

A system is built by connecting the Fieldbus devices together. These are automatically detected
and identified. All that then remains is building the desired control strategy, and computer displays.
This is much easier than traditional connection of “dumb” analog or even smart transmitters to a
conventional DCS.

SYSTEM302 C8
 smar
Flexibility Rapidly changing demands for variety and choice force factories to modify and expand in shorter
timeframes. SYSTEM302 provides you with scalability, flexibility and ease of configuration to meet
such demands.
A variety of interface and networking options provides flexibility for plants of all sizes. This
flexibility provides a simple, easily configured system to accomodate growth and change. New
control strategies can quickly be developed, tested and downloaded from any network
workstation modifying new processes. Formulas and batch recipes can be selected, and run
instantly.
These capabilities result in improved management of manpower and resources. The final benefits
are productivity and profits.

The flexibility of
SYSTEM302 allows
you to chose between
many architectures to
suit your requirements,
now and in the future.

Interoperability Until the introduction of Fieldbus, control systems were never interoperable. DCS suppliers often
used the word “open”, but communication with equipment from other manufacturers was
impossible, or required expensive services from the supplier.

The interoperability provided by FOUNDATIONTM Fieldbus provides users the freedom to chose devices
from their preferred manufacturer. Since Fieldbus is an open, international standard, FF Certified
equipment from all manufacturers can be connected together. SYSTEM302 implements Device
Description (DD) services to ensure complete functionality of accessed devices.

A tremendous variety of Fieldbus equipment is available for every conceivable measurement or

control requirement. This results in seamless Fieldbus systems that can be easily configured
without the “patchwork” required by proprietary (DCS) systems. Users finally have the freedom to
choose “best of class” instruments for a true, seamless, open, system.

Fieldbus also ensures that instrumentation and controls used in packaged units such as boilers,
water/ wastewater, N2 production, generators, and compressors are easily integrated into main
control systems. This simplifies engineering, maintenance, and modification efforts by end users,
as well as OEMs.

C9
 Benefits
Improved SYSTEM302 is the first system to take full advantage of additional information provided by
information Fieldbus. This includes status, diagnostics, configuration, calibration data and other non-control
information. With SYSTEM302, the information available extends beyond the control of process
availability and
variables and can include features such as Instrument Management. This can greatly reduce
integrity
process variability and maintenance costs with improved management of your instruments.
Since Fieldbus is digital, it is more robust than analog systems where signal distortion can go
undetected. Digital signal transmission is secured using error checking. Fieldbus therefore has a
very high EMI/RFI immunity. Status information related to measurements and variables allows
operators and engineers to make decisions with greater confidence.
Digital communication also allows multiple variable access. Each SYSTEM302 workstation can
obtain information from any, or all devices including tag number , range settings, materials of
construction, calibration data, etc.

Operator interface software shows variable

quality and limit condition together with
values.

Engineering tool allows deeper

investigation into faults.

Data validation is an integral part of the FOUNDATIONTM Fieldbus

standard. On-line process parameter status summary is
displayed in SYSTEM302 workstations and includes quality
and limit information. Once an abnormal condition is
identified, detailed diagnostics can be carried out using the
engineering tool . This can pin-point field device problems
such as sensors, output, or memory failure. Configuration
and communication errors can be identified, and thorough
performance checks may also be carried out. Detail status
lets you better understand what your automation system is
doing.

SYSTEM302 C 10
 smar
Lower maintenance Reliable and continuous self diagnostics provide by Smar’s Fieldbus devices allows integration of
cost predictive and proactive maintenance programs. Operational statistics, such as accumulated valve
travel, can provide failure prediction information, for preventive maintenance.Timely diagnostics
and operational statistics enable anticipation of failures before they occur.
On-line fault notification mechanisms immediately inform the operator should a device failure
occur. This allows action to be taken before production is affected reducing surprise shutdowns
and dangerous situations.More precise information such as which device, what fault etc. can
assist in the proper choice of spares and tools before sending technicians into the field.
Use of Handheld Devices are eliminated and device access is possible from a notebook
computer. Faults can be confirmed to prevent unnecessary shut-downs and trips to the field.
Predictive and proactive maintenance programs enabled by SYSTEM302 can contribute to major
reductions in the operational costs of a plant.

DCS FCS
SYSTEM302 provides an expanded view,
reaching into the field. Field devices
become an integral part of the system.

Since SYSTEM302 is a less complex system, there are fewer parts that can fail. Open standards
technology means less reliance on expensive maintenance contracts. A major portion of the
system’s Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) may be reduced due to ease of maintenance. Record
keeping required by ISO 14000 and ISO 9000, becomes much easier as complete field device data
is available at any workstation.

Increased product Increased signal integrity, data validation and higher precision results from decreased A/D and
quality D/A conversions.
Superior management of calibration data, such as who, when, where, how and what value are
stored in each device. Maintaining this ISO 9000 requirement helps to keep instruments in tip-top
condition. Remote diagnostics and performance evaluation makes it easy to spot devices not
operating within specification. This allows you to identify sources of variability and make
devices perform better. This improves overall system accuracy resulting in less variation in
product quality.

C 11
 Benefits
Lower cost of Versatile Fieldbus architecture reduces I/O subsystem requirements and makes SYSTEM302 very
expansion and scaleable. A SYSTEM302 System can be any size; one loop, a thousand loops, or more.
A common misconception is that Fieldbus technology is too costly for small systems, or not
change
suitable for large systems. With SYSTEM302 benefits can be realized at any size. SYSTEM302 costs
are very low, and viable for only a few loops. SYSTEM302 can be expanded or changed loop by
loop when needs change and/ or budget allows. This can often be carried out without additional
wiring or additional interfaces.
Investments for future expansions can be eliminated without question. This has never been the
norm for DCS Systems. Buy what you need now, expand later - scalability through modularity. Future
compatibility is ensured by the stability of an international standard. No need to buy systems
bigger than you need, or can afford. With Fieldbus you can expand as your plant expands, and
change, as your requirements change.

Easier operation Training personnel to use different equipment not operating in a consistent way is costly and time
consuming. The Fieldbus standard employed in SYSTEM302 ensures a common, user-friendly “look
and feel” among devices. This is easier to use, and reduces the chance of dangerous mistakes.
Training time and costs are greatly reduced. With SYSTEM302 consistency is also achieved by
following familiar Windows conventions such as Microsoft Office and Explorer. Software is
equipped with help functions and life-like graphics such as process flow mimics, which make it
easy to remotely visualize process conditions and take action.

Simplified Built in simulation capability allows the safe testing of shutdown interlocks on actual devices
engineering without manipulating the physical process, or connecting external simulators. Configuration is
simplified being built around ISA S88 hierarchy and terminology. These are based on function
block tags and standard parameter names instead of device and memory addresses. Devices are
automatically detected when connected.
SYSTEM302 has a leaner architecture with less wiring and other hardware. Loop, wiring diagrams,
panel drawings, and cable schedules are greatly simplified. The software has reusable templates
including a library of pre-configured graphic objects and control strategies. The user may also
add his own templates for graphics and block strategies. Off-line configuration and storage
makes it easy to develop and test different strategies and copy applications from one unit or site
to another. SYSTEM302 supports the common

Fieldbus configuration file formats. Electronic documentation is generated automatically. Further

comments and notes may also be included in the configuration.
On-line monitoring and troubleshooting of executing strategy lets you get your process up and
running trouble free in the shortest possible time.

Quicker and The engineering software is a single universal system interface for all manufacturers Fieldbus
easier to Learn devices. It has the same “look and feel” as other Windows applications. Fieldbus benefits can be
realized immediately without long implementation periods providing an instant return on
investment. SYSTEM302 has advanced features that are easy to use providing significant
economic benefits. These features can be implemented without the use of expensive consultants.
SYSTEM302 is built around FOUNDATIONTM Fieldbus function blocks, which are the same independent of
manufacturer or device type. Any individual familiar with the use of these can easily configure a
system.

Increased safety Since faults are immediately noted and identified, they can greatly reduce dangerous
consequences. Fieldbus diagnostics are not only reported to plant personnel, but they are also
used by the devices themselves. This can ensure timely shutdowns due to instrument failure
without the need of higher level controllers. SYSTEM302 therefore achieves a level of integrity
not seen in conventional control systems.

The base of the SYSTEM302 solution is really the field devices. These comprise of, e.g., pressure
and temperature transmitters, valve positioners and pneumatic converters, and programmable
controllers for discrete signals and distributed-I/O. Hence the system can handle all kinds of
signals and is suitable for continuos regulatory, discrete logic and batch control. SYSTEM302 is
applicable to virtually any industry. SYSTEM302 enterprise automation systems have now been
installed world wide since a number of years and proven themselves in many applications.
SYSTEM302 was first installed in 1994 and was then the first commercial Fieldbus system based

For small to medium size systems the workstations may be fitted with internal Fieldbus
interface cards to directly handle up to 32 Fieldbus H1 networks. The interface cards
may also function as a bridge between Fieldbus networks. The interface cards have
their own 32 bit RISC CPU which operates independently from the operator
workstation CPU giving additional reliability and robustness. The interface card can
therefore also execute additional functions blocks, those that may not be provided by
some field devices. Again, very powerful solutions can be achieved.

Workstations may be redundant by connecting two or more of them to the same

Fieldbus.

Very large systems are made possible and at the same time simple. This architecture
flexibility contributes to the SYSTEM302’s scalability.

 System Functionality
All devices on the H1 Fieldbus communicate with each other peer-to-peer using a publisher/
subscriber relationship for high efficiency and synchronization. A Fieldbus network may be
almost 2 km in length and repeaters may be used for even longer distances. The Fieldbus
provides power for the 2 wire devices, and acts as media for the digital communication. In a
typical system a total of 12 to 16 devices powered by the bus, relating to 6 - 8 control loops, are
multidropped on the Fieldbus network.

Devices are easily connected in

was designed for both large and small network applications. Following the guidelines set forth in
Microsoft’s Zero Administration for Windows (ZAW) initiative, SYSTEM302 offers a lower Total Cost
of Ownership (TCO) in developing and managing application software. SYSTEM302 allows users to
remotely login to the plant environment for remote management and run-time control. The
environment is secured using a combination of Windows NT security and SYSTEM302 security.

Functions to help achieve a lower TCO include:

• Centralized database server, for single-location storage of project data
• Management control console, for remote control of your plant
• Remote “push” transfer of the entire project
• Efficient event-driven networking for transfer of process data in real time
• Remote start, stop, and file update
• Remote update and reinstall of software from a single desktop
• Workgroup computing for project configuration by multiple users
• Domain project architecture, for security
• Global graphic displays of historical trends, graphics, logs, and process flow mimics
SYSTEM302

With the power of the field instruments, field interface and

programmable controllers, plus the functionality in the
interface cards and the HMI application, even the most
complex applications are possible.

SYSTEM302 C 24
 smar
The centralized database server provides remote dial-in, automatic software installation, and
automatic backup capabilities. Using MICROSOFT RAS, (Remote Access Server) users may control
the plant from a remote location. Workstations may be installed or updated, and operated, from
any other workstation.
A workgroup, consisting of many users, may simultaneously develop the same project, in real
time. With instant refresh, each user has immediate, on-demand access to the total project
configuration. In a remote engineering office, away from the plant, many engineers may
simultaneously develop the project.
The network uses efficient event-driven technology to ensure that each workstation has the
most up-to-date information available. This is important, because each user expects to see the
same real-time data on every workstation.
Security is an important part of every enterprise, it ensures data integrity and avoids involuntary
changes. SYSTEM302 is secured by security-area and permission-level. A security-area is a
collection of security properties, normally meant for a specific group of users. A permission-level
is the login-rank of the user. There are 128 levels and 256 areas available for definition.
The network allows all of the trends, logs, and custom displays to be viewed from any
workstation. This saves expensive development time, since each display, trend, or log needs to be
configured only once. SYSTEM302 automatically propagates the displays and necessary trend
and log data to all workstations. This same concept is applied to process flow mimics, which are a
collection of several displays appearing on the computer screen at the same time.

Supervisory The operator workstation normally has no part in the time-critical control functions. However, batch
control functions programs and other functions may optionally run in the HMI. In addition to the logic and sequence
functions provided by the programmable controller, a structured high level control oriented
programming language is available to implement supervisory control in the HMI. This language is
simple, using a BASIC-like syntax, providing the necessary facilities for real time control.

C 25
 System Reliability
Fault tolerant Industrial process control equipment is designed to be very reliable, however breakdowns may still
occur. Therefore, several levels of fault tolerance have been designed into SYSTEM302. First, is fault
isolation, in which the functionality that depends on a single piece of hardware is kept low. Next, is
hardware redundancy. Most of the hardware components of the system may be redundant.

For the H1 Fieldbus, wiring fault isolation is used. For greater security, the field instruments are
divided over several independent H1 Fieldbus networks, limiting the loss of control to one loop or
a few loops in case a network is damaged.
Operator workstations may be redundant. Several workstations may be connected directly to the
same H1 Fieldbus, or when field devices are connected via Ethernet interfaces, several workstations
may be connected via the hub. Workstations are configured in a scheme where any workstation
may access data from any field device. Redundant operator workstations work in a parallel
processing standby scheme in which all workstations are running concurrently. In case of a failure
of one workstation the plant may be operated from any other workstation.

Bus power supply components may also be redundant with automatic and bumpless switchover,
guaranteeing power to the field instruments. A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is provided for
the operator workstations.

Communication master functionality is provided in the workstations and in all of the field devices
with automatic switch-over. This function ensures that a master is always present, even with the
SYSTEM302

loss of one or all of the workstations.

A major benefit of FOUNDATIONTM Fieldbus is data validation ensuring the highest level of data integrity.
Something which is not possible in systems built around 4-20 mA.

FCS vs. DCS fault tolerance

In both DCS and FCS the operator workstations and power supplies are redundant. The
difference lies in control, I/O and wiring.
A common question is: “What happens when the wire with 16 devices breaks”.
A DCS uses I/O card and 4-20 mA wiring to connect the field devices. In most cases the I/O
cards are not redundant. Since an I/O card typically handles some 8 points, a single failure
of an I/O card would result in loss of 8 control loops.
In the FCS only the information from 16 or less devices is carried on each H1 Fieldbus
network, corresponding to some 8 control loops. Should a wire fail maximum 8 loops are
affected. A single fault affects 8 loops. I.e. the level of fault tolerance is the same as DCS.
For critical loops sometime redundant I/O cards were used in the DCS. A single fault,
which in the worst case would be in a field wire, would affect only a single loop. The
same level of integrity can be achieved in a Fieldbus system by putting less devices on
one Fieldbus. If only two devices - a single loop - are put on a bus, only a single loop is
affected if the wire breaks.

SYSTEM302 C 26
 smar

Output field devices handle fail-safe conditions on their own, independent of the operator
workstation or controllers. The output may maintain its last value or drive to a predetermined
safety position, shutting down the loops in an orderly manner in the event of a fault. Fail-safe
action is activated on sensor, device or communication failure. SYSTEM302 improves on the safety
provided by conventional DCS, because the field devices autonomously take safety action and
do not rely on a controller to give the safety command. Loss of supply air to automatic
actuators is reported to the operator.

Status is generated for all Fieldbus function block inputs and outputs and related contained
parameters. Quality indicates if the process is out of range, if a sensor failure has occured, or if
there is a configuration error. Status is propagated down-stream in the system to provide
fail-safe action, and upstream to ensure bumpless transfer and windup protection. Status also
alerts the operator of abnormal or dangerous conditions.

C 27
 Migration Path
Integration with Since Fieldbus is a new technology it is easier to use in a new plant with new process technology,
existing equipment or in an expansion being built from scratch, or where a very old control system is being
completely replaced. However, there are a few ways to slowly migrate an existing system to a
SYSTEM302, protecting your investment. In general, it can be said that investments made in
systems based on open technologies such as Windows NT, OPC, OLE, TCP/IP, COM and DCOM are
easier to protect when migrating.

Field instruments Some users had the foresight to use smart transmitters such as the Smar 301 series which has an
and programmable upgrade path to Fieldbus. At Smar we go to great lengths to ensure that our customers are not
caught in a technological gap, but have an upgrade path.
controllers
SYSTEM302

Smar offers a circuit board upgrade of 301 series

smart devices to 302 series Fieldbus devices.

Designed to support bus-powered, intrinsically-safe networks, FOUNDATIONTM

Fieldbus is the complete plantwide automation solution. The H1 (31.25 kbps)
bus is well-suited to data acquisition and control in the process industries. The
high speed implementation, which incorporates open, commercial Ethernet
technology and the IEC/ISA Fieldbus standards, provides cost-effective
Fieldbus solutions for the discrete parts manufacturing and continuous
processing industries.

The FY302 Fieldbus valve positioner allows a user to convert his valves to Fieldbus technology
simply by replacing the analog positioner, protecting the investment in the other hardware.

Smar also has field mounted converters for 4-20 mA current signals and 3-15 psi pneumatic
signals. These converters enable existing transmitters, actuators and variable speed drives etc. to
be interfaced to SYSTEM302, allowing a smooth transition to Fieldbus technology.

Since SYSTEM302 is built on an open platform that supports legacy protocols such as MODBUS,
many existing programmable controllers may also be integrated to a new system with relative ease.
Power supply impedance units allow adaptation of existing DC power supplies for use with
Fieldbus. Another key characteristic of Fieldbus is that it can use normal instrument wiring,
therefore in many cases the upgrade to Fieldbus instruments can be done without running new
wires.

Workstations Workstations based on off-the-shelf HMI software and on open platforms may often be used
with SYSTEM302 if fitted with Fieldbus interfaces.

C 29
 Migration Path
Existent Systems There are cases where an existing DCS has been linked to the SYSTEM302 through the MODBUS
port of the Smar programmable controller. In this case the programmable controller acts as a
MODBUS to Fieldbus interface. Installing the system in this manner sacrifices a large part of the
beneficial functionality of Fieldbus. However, it serves the purpose for getting the user familiar
with Fieldbus technology and offers a migration path to Fieldbus.
SYSTEM302

For users that have already migrated to Fieldbus, their first step was typically to install a small
Fieldbus system in an autonomous unit of the plant, not disturbing the main part of the existing
control system in order to get familiar with the Fieldbus technology. This unit is often a packaged
boiler, tank farm or effluent treatment unit. The rest of the existing controls may then be
integrated on a step by step basis as part of the maintenance program. Another common start is a
pilot plant for simultaneous evaluation of both new process and Fieldbus technology.

Y2K COMPLIANT
Instead of waste time and money upgrading your old and
obsolete systems to solve the Year 2000 bug, take this opportunity
to establish a competitive leadership position. System 302 uses
state of art technologies, totally compliant with Year 2000
requirements. It is designed to work from now through the next
millennium.

SYSTEM302 C 30
 smar
Advanced Control Some users, mainly in the petrochemical and chemical industries, rely on advanced control and
Connectivity simulation to optimize their processes. Advanced control here refers to Dynamic Matrix Control
(DMC) involving around a hundred process variables, and scores of manipulated variables. The
same advanced control stations that are used for conventional control systems may be
connected directly to SYSTEM302 through TCP/IP on Ethernet. Contact Smar for suggestions.

Basic Advanced Critical Control

Control Control & Shut Down

Critical control and Independent ESD systems such as Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) systems may be connected to
Emergency SYSTEM302 such that the SYSTEM302 operator may gain access to there functionality and vice
versa. This is typically done via Ethernet or Modbus. Contact Smar for suggestions.
Shutdown Systems
(ESD) Connectivity

Other connectivity Communication with packaged units, gas chromatographs, tank gauging systems, paper scanners
and scales etc. is possible depending on the protocols involved. Contact Smar for suggestions.

Conventional and The flexibility of SYSTEM302 also enables you to build a conventional control system without
Smart Solution any Fieldbus, based instead on 4-20 mA and optionally HART. Considering the various paths of
migration to Fieldbus that Smar offers, changing from one existing conventional system to a
conventional system from Smar may be an intermediate step on the way to a full Fieldbus
system.

 Operation
Totally The user interface is freely configurable by the user himself to suit any particular needs your plant
customizable HMI may have. Smar can optionally preconfigure hierarchical screens for plant overview, faceplate
groups and details, and other common screens like process flow mimic, historical and real time
trending, alarm and event logs etc.

Overview screen
These displays provide general information about
plant condition and the HMI organization.

Faceplate group screen

Faceplates show dynamic process and status
information about a single control loop and permit
an operator to change control parameter values or
SYSTEM302

mode for the loop.

Detail screen
Detail displays provide additional dynamic and
configured variables associated with a loop such as
scaling, tuning, alarm limits and dead-band.

Process flow mimic

User defined animated color graphics resembling
P&ID with symbolic representation of data such as
animated level change and movements.

SYSTEM302 C 32
 smar
Alarm summary and log
Alarms are summarized with all pertinent
information.

Historical and real-time trend

Real time and historical data collection for
trending, logging, and reporting with different
rates for display or printing is available.

Instrument Management
Instrument Management complements process
control with maintenance and calibration
management because process control alone is
not enough for running a plant. The increased
access to information is the basis for many of the
benefits offered by the SYSTEM302.

The user may directly access the correct screen of the system status display. These displays
provide general information about device condition and the field device organization.

The general quality and limit condition of process

variables is indicated in the operation screens. The
Fieldbus configuration tool allows access to more
detailed diagnostic information.

On top of diagnostic data, wetted material

information, calibration data like last values at which
calibration was last done, when and location, plus
identification such as model number, serial numbers,
and manufacturer etc. is available. This greatly reduces
the time required for device documentation.

The diagnostic, configuration and monitoring of field

devices may be done while the process is running.
Plant personnel visits to hazardous areas is minimized,
reducing the exposure and risks.

C 33
 Configuration
Human-Machine The HMI configuration includes system functions like passwords, hardware layout and networking,
Interface and application functions like alarms, reports, historical trend, key macros, scripts, batch programs,
recipes, graphic screens and SQC.
configuration
SYSTEM302

Configuration is based on the tags configured for the Fieldbus devices. The tags may be used in
display, report and history configuration.

User defined animated color graphics may be designed using a CAD-like procedure. Existing
predefined graphic and bitmaps may be copied and pasted. Drawings from AutoCAD may be
imported. The tags used in the system may be used to create animated graphics. Graphic symbol
templates may be defined and pasted into graphic displays. Several symbols such as valves, pumps
and vessels are available in a library. Templates give a consistent look-and-feel which makes it
easier to use. Faceplate group screens and overview screens are automatically generated.

The configuration may be exported to Excel and other spreadsheets for easy verification and
search.

Special custom user application software may be written in C language or Visual Basic by Smar or
the user and included in the SYSTEM302 to perform special tasks.

Fixed format reports are standard, free

format is optional.

SYSTEM302 C 34
 smar
Field device and For the continuous regulatory control performed by the Fieldbus devices, the Fieldbus function
control strategy block diagram concept is used for building control strategies. Configurations are created and
edited graphically with blocks and links resembling those of traditional P&ID. Comments and
configuration
clarifications may be included. Configurations may be printed out and used as system
documentation, thereby reducing the time for documentation in other formats while you are
guaranteed that it is up to date. The software gives off-line and on-line access to all resource,
transducer and function block parameters and field device data. On-line diagnostics makes
troubleshooting easier. This may be done from an engineering workstation or a portable
computer in the field. A notebook computer may be connected to the H1 Fieldbus using a small
interface that plugs into a USB port.
To make configuration of large systems easier, the user may create template consisting of several
function blocks. These templates may then be re-used as many times as required.
For the discrete logic and sequential control performed by the programmable controller, IEC
1131-3 ladder diagram programming is used. The software allows the user to break the
application into smaller and manageable pieces that are easier to handle. The software enables
the user to develop, edit or debug programs.

Color coding in the ladder diagram during on-line monitoring shows which part of the logic is
active, simplifying debugging. Configuration may be done from an engineering workstation or a
portable computer. The software provides printout of all programs in ladder diagram format
including all tag names. Documentation is automatically generated while you program. All I/O
and internal addresses may be given tag names representative of their purpose.

The HMI screens may optionally include functions that are used in some applications to meet the
unique requirements of every plant and user. These include batch programming, recipe handling,
user programs and Statistical Quality Control (SQC).

C 35
 Configuration
Recipe Handler
The Recipe function is a software module
supporting recipe down loading, uploading,
verifying, editing, and saving during on-line
operation. The user can create recipes which define
formula parameters and their preset values. Pre-
formatted and custom recipe displays may be
generated. Recipe boxes may be displayed during
on-line operation where values may be edited
before download. Recipes are created using a fill-
in-the-blanks procedure.

Batch Programming
A structured high level batch programming
language is available to implement batch control
in the SYSTEM302. This language is simple with a
SYSTEM302

BASIC like syntax and provides the necessary

facilities for real time control of batch processes. It
has access to process values and other database
information. Actions may trigger on time, values or
alarms. Actions include report printing, timing,
trend management and screen management.
Control by activating devices and points may be
performed. Arithmetics, logic and comparisons may
be used in the programs.

Reports
Free format reports may be customized to suit the
unique needs of the process and plant. This allows
the user to define the layout for data presentation,
how the data should be gathered and when it
should be reported.

Special one-shot batch trend recording of

historical data on demand and gathering of
historical data at high speed under critical
conditions is provided for. Trends may be
compared for process evaluation.

SYSTEM302 C 36
 smar
Statistical Quality The SQC function samples real-time values, performs calculations to generate statistical values,
Control provides on-line trending in control charts, and activates statistical alarms.

User Programs The User Programming Interface option can be used to build C language or Visual basic
programs for use with an SYSTEM302 system. These programs can perform custom functions,
such as process control, reporting, calculations and data analysis, data acquisition, and alarm
handling. The User Programming Interface allows Smar or the user to write programs for
functions not performed by the field devices or the standard functions in the HMI.

ODBC and SQL The user has the capability to use ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) and SQL (Structured Query
Support Language) to insert and retrieve data from databases which support ODBC. The user can read
and write SYSTEM302 configuration and historical trend data from various relational databases
in an on-line or off-line mode. The standard ODBC Database Conversion Utility is used to export
and import an SYSTEM302 database to any ODBC compliant database. This enables users to
configure and maintain an SYSTEM302 system configuration off-line on an external database.
The optional on-line ODBC Conversion is used to export various run-time SYSTEM302
information into an ODBC database. This can be useful for transferring information, such as
alarm or trending data, to a database in real-time. This feature makes it possible to generate
reports and charts off-line, and to easily edit and verify the configuration, and search, sort and
analyze.

The optional SQL interface support is used to perform SQL commands through SYSTEM302 on
external ODBC databases. SYSTEM302 can access, create, and modify tables within a specific
relational database, e.g. Oracle, MS-Access and MS-Excel.
OLE and DDE
Support The Windows NT operating system allows SYSTEM302 to exchange non-control data with other
applications using OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) and DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) in a
client-server fashion. In a server role the HMI sends data to OLE/DDE client applications, like Excel,
as the values changes. Optionally it can also operate as a client receiving data from a OLE/DDE
server software. The OLE/DDE support allows Smar or the customer to develop specialized
functionality. It may also be used with third party software like optimization packages. The
SYSTEM302 hardware and software also supports OPC, the special verity of OLE used for process
control.

C 37
 Engineering & Design
Most customers prefer the initial system purchase to be a complete solution from Smar on a
turn-key basis. However, since SYSTEM302 is easy to configure, gradually expand and
maintain, system engineering and integration may also be done by the end-users themselves.
The best solution for most end-users is to let on of Smar’s teams of experienced engineers do
the initial design and commissioning while doing installation and maintenance of the
system themselves. A Smar project team can manage the project from design until the
production is running. The team can also include people from the user. The user is a suitable
person to lead the system design because he knows the process well and can achieve
optimum control.
Operator workstation staging and Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) may be done at our facilities
and may be witnessed by the end-user. Complete system site acceptance test (SAT) with all
field equipment is also possible.

• Build your own system

Sometimes users want to develop the system themselves in order to keep their process
technology secret. The large degree of openness and ease of use in the SYSTEM302 system makes
it possible for the user to integrate his system himself with a minimum amount of Smar training.
Also, by developing the system himself, the user becomes self reliant and can then perform
maintenance or upgrade himself. This way further initial and long term savings can be achieved. At
the same time the user is in a better position to deal with problems. Of course Smar is always
there to assist.
