Process Automation System
Increased DeltaV Batch performance comes with the 4.2 release. In addition to the improved recipe editing, performance enhancements include:
- 90% reduction in the time to assign areas
- 75% reduction in downloading unit module
- 95% reduction in saving phase classes
Look under the hood of the DeltaV version 4.2's Batch Historian, and you'll find a Microsoft SQL engine. This engine serves multiple clients and improves performance. Migration to MS SQL also provides improved security by monitoring which users have access to view and/or manage electronic batch records. The Batch Historian Administrator's Interface is now easier with a common Windows look and feel.
Release 4.2 extends the DeltaV system's diagnostics to include the Marathon fault-tolerant system. Equipment failures in these redundant workstations are reported in the same fashion as I/O failures for easy problem recognition and resolution.
