The Rise of Cyber Physical Systems: Everything is Connected

Mainframe computing (60s – 70s)

Large computers to execute big data processing applications

Desktop computing & Internet (80s – 90s)

One computer at every desk to do business/personal activities

Ubiquitous computing (00s)

Numerous computing devices in every place/person

Millions for desktops vs. billions for embedded processors

Cyber Physical Systems (10s)

What are Cyber Physical Systems?

• Cyber Physical System is a system featuring a tight combination of, and coordination between, the system’s computational and physical elements.

• CPS uses computations and communication deeply embedded in and interacting with physical processes to add new capabilities to physical system.

• Convergence of computation,

communication, and control

What CPS Means for Process Automation

• Process field devices are becoming computers unto themselves

• The old hierarchy of workstations, controllers, networks, field devices, and final control elements is collapsing

• CPS means that process

automation systems will be increasingly connected to other systems in the plant and enterprise

• CPAS – Collaborative Process Automation Systems – are the result




Are your Intelligent Devices Underachievers?

• Despite their large installed base, not many

companies are actually using the diagnostic

information from their intelligent devices to

improve their operating performance

• Plant Asset Management workstations

collecting dust

• Users complain they aren‘t getting the

benefits, but why is this?

• “An estimated 85% of all installed HART

devices are not being accessed to deliver

device diagnostics information with only the

Process Variable data communicated via the

4-20mA analog signal.” – HCF Web Site

Stranded Diagnostics



Why We Cling to Analog Thinking in a Digital World

• Entrenched work processes: Our

fundamental maintenance processes

have not changed much since the

1950s.

• The installed base: According to ARC,

the installed base of process

automation systems reaching the end

of their useful life is $65 billion. Most

of these are 20 years old or older.

• The workforce: Many workers are

entrenched in existing work processes

and analog technology



India is Way Ahead

• Largest Fieldbus installation in the

world is at Jamnagar Refinery

• Over 30K Fieldbus Devices,

Thousands of Segments, with

Capacity Set to Double!

• Device Diagnostics Used Heavily!

• As close to Flawless Project

Execution as you can Get!

• A Global Effort in Project

Management



The Prize, and How to Get There

• The Economic Impact of Intelligent Devices

• Why You Need a Strategy for Intelligent Device Management

• Understanding Diagnostics

• The Importance of Work Processes and Ownership



Impact of Automation is Often Overlooked

Why You Need a Strategy for Intelligent Device Management

A Broad Mix of Applications can Benefit from Intelligent Device Data



Get Started Early!

A Broad Mix of Applications can Benefit from Intelligent Device Data



Understanding Diagnostics

• Diagnostics can be a valuable tool that can help save you time and money and avoid unplanned shutdowns.

• Diagnostic data can be vague and require a lot of digging to get to the root cause.

• Diagnostic data can also provide you with avalanche of useless information that can grind your process to a halt.

• Not all technologies handle diagnostic information the same way.

• Trick is to get only the right information, at the right time, to the right people.



The Current State of Non Digital Diagnostics: Or the Idiot Light

• Doesn’t tell you what’s wrong

• No predictive guidance

• Is it a process problem or device problem?

• Sensor problem? Electronics problem? Who knows?



Distinctions should be made between Instrument and Process Diagnostics

Utilizing Diagnostic Data from Multiple Devices Together

• Certain diagnostic anomalies expressed in multiple field devices can indicate an anomaly or impending abnormal situation in the process.

Removing Obstacles to IDM

• The Integration Dilemma

• The Importance of Adopting Open Standards

• Train, Train, Train



The Integration Dilemma

• Historically there have been multiple integration technologies for intelligent field devices

• EDDL, FDT/DTM, OPC, etc.

• FDI is a current industry effort that will unify device integration technologies and make things easier for users and suppliers



One Device Driver: the FDI Package

Programmed User Interface

Device Applications

Manuals Certificates Protocol specific

Files (GSD(ML), etc.)



The Importance of Adopting Open Standards

• OPEN standards are continuously subject to scrutiny, review and improvement

• OPEN standards and specifications are publicly available can be purchased by anyone

• OPEN standards have better security

• OPEN standards can adapt to new technologies and market dynamics

• OPEN standards make it easier to test and register devices and host systems



There is a lot to Learn, and Good Training is Essential

Many sources of training are available in the marketplace

Very few are audited and certified to ensure that they adhere to a set of standards

You will need more than a two day course or online video

We are serious about training! Eight certified centers with one in India soon to come.



Conclusions

• Adopt an Intelligent Device Management Philosophy

• Take an intelligent approach to managing diagnostics

• Start early

• Appoint a champion to manage the IDM processes

• Get the right work processes & train your people

• You can be successful! The Prize is significant!
