基金会现场总线将被用在此智能工厂中的智能设备布线中。 2008年5月27日消息,艾默生过程管理公司已经被浙江昌兴(音)玻璃有限公司的浙江平湖(音)玻璃厂选中,为其施工并安装配有DeltaV自动化系统的数字化架构和艾默生智能现场设备。该项目将是中国玻璃行业中第一个应用基金会现场总线的plantweb项目。 PlantWeb架构的核心部件:艾默生DeltaV数字自动化系统,将为玻璃厂许多配有高级自动化技术的智能操作提供动力。除节能安装外,配有基金会现场总线的PlantWeb架构,通过数字化可靠性、功能性、高精密量度和来自智能现场设备的高级诊断,有望提高产品产量和质量。 浙江昌兴玻璃厂将为新厂投入8亿人民币,于2008年3月开始工作。该厂制定了每天450吨的产量以满足中国日益增长的建筑需求。浙江平湖预计每天生产500吨超薄玻璃,从2008年6月开始,总投资为6亿人民币。超薄玻璃将用于发光二极管和其它电子应用。 浙江昌兴项目经理Yang Kuang说:“我们之所以选择艾默生作为我们主要的仪器提供商,是因为其高优势的现场总线技术、高质量产品和艾默生高级的技术整合能力。除项目和试运行优势外,我们期望数字自动化能带给我们可持续的操作和维护优势。” 除每个厂安装DeltaV自动化系统之外,艾默生将提供智能Rosemount温度和压力传送器、安装现场总线数字阀控制器上的Fisher控制阀和其AMS组件预测维护软件。 由现场仪器采集的诊断数据通过AMS设备管理器存储在现场总线网络中,该网络能够持续提供一个完整的设备数据库和过程信息,形成图表式信息以备维护和操作人员使用,与现场设备自动形成文件交互信息。该软件在仪表试运转过程中是非常有用的,利用该软件意味着可与现场仪器沟通交流,技术员们现在所花费的时间要比传统步骤所花费时间少三分之二。超出试运转之外,AMS设备管理器的预诊断功能将提高工厂的实用性和性能。 艾默生过程管理公司(亚太地区)总裁Mike Train评论说:“我们很高兴我们的高级技术,卓越的工程和整合能力能用在中国,参与这些里程碑式的项目,巩固我们的声誉,加强我们的选择。我们将继续向我们在中国服务的其它项目一样传送我们相同的制造优势。” original text Emerson to digitally automate two new glass plants in China with PlantWeb® architecture FOUNDATION Fieldbus will network intelligent devices throughout the smart plants AUSTIN, TEXAS (May 27, 2008) - Emerson Process Management has been selected by the Zhejiang Changxing Glass Co., Ltd. and the Zhejiang Pinghu Glass Co., Ltd. to engineer and install PlantWeb® digital architecture with DeltaV™automation systems and Emerson‘s intelligent field devices in new glass plants in the Zhejiang Province. The projects will be the first for plantwide use of FOUNDATION fieldbus in China‘s glass industry. A core component of PlantWeb architecture, Emerson‘s DeltaV™ digital automation systems will power the Smart Plant operation with the most advanced automation technology in the glass industry. In addition to installation savings, the PlantWeb architecture with FOUNDATION fieldbus is expected to improve product output and quality through digital reliability and functionality, highly accurate measurements, and advanced diagnostics from the intelligent field devices. Zhejiang Changxing Glass is investing RMB800 million ($115 million USD) in its new plant, which went into operation in March, 2008. This plant has a designed capacity of 450 tons per day of float glass to meet the rising demand for building materials created by China‘s ongoing construction boom. The Zhejiang Pinghu plant is expected to produce 500 tons of ultra-thin glass per day, starting in June 2008, from a total investment of RMB600 million ($86 million USD). Ultra-thin glass is used for LEDs and other electronics applications "Emerson was chosen as our main instrument supplier to take advantage of its advanced fieldbus technology, high quality products, and the excellent integration capabilities of Emerson‘s technical personnel," according to Zhejiang Changxing Project Manager Yang Kuang. "In addition to project and commissioning advantages, we expect digital automation to give us sustained operations and maintenance advantages." In addition to the DeltaV automation systems for each plant, Emerson is supplying smart Rosemount® temperature and pressure transmitters, Fisher® control valves equipped with FIELDVUE® digital valve controllers, and its AMS® Suite predictive maintenance software. Diagnostic data produced by the smart field instruments is accessed over the fieldbus networks by AMS Device Manager which maintains a complete device database, processes acquired information, presents it in graphical format for use by both maintenance and operating personnel, and automatically documents interaction with field devices. This software will be useful during instrument commissioning. Using it as a means of communicating with the field instruments, technicians will spend as much as two-thirds less time for commissioning than with time-consuming conventional procedures. Beyond commissioning, AMS Device Manager‘s predictive diagnostics will improve plant availability and performance. "We are pleased that our advanced technologies, excellent engineering and integration capabilities in China, and reputation for post-sales support enabled our selection to participate in these landmark projects," commented Mike Train, president of Emerson Process Management Asia Pacific. "We are committed to delivering the same process manufacturing advantages to these customers as we have done in our many installations in China." |
