Forum Post: RE: Can you dynamically change DeltaV Operator Theme Color set?
Yes our midwest engineering center has been doing this since v11. Are you using your own graphics library, PCSD or just Out of the Box? PCSD makes this process easier because they already have the theme color tables and some of the logic needed. If you don't then you will need copies of the tables in User (or SIGlobals which is where PCSD has them) and some code as the application exchange describes but our logic is a little different. I suspect that the error you are getting is because of things that don't exists, named differently or aren't referenced properly. When and what error you are getting? Select the VB scripting that was added and go to VB menu item Debug/Compile Project_xxxx (xxxx will be User or SIGlobals depending on where the logic was put), do you get any error?

Forum Post: Concept of IOT in Process Automation Appplications
Did any one come across the growing interest in using IOT technology in every aspect of process that runs across the globe, say it form managing traffic signals to managing a complete refinery plant. I am not sure how we are implementing for our Emerson customer , do we have existing technology to meet the same advantages / benefits we get from IOT.

Forum Post: RE: Concept of IOT in Process Automation Appplications
Yes. Emerson is helping our customers implement IIoT. There are customers that are doing internal IIoT and customers doing external IIoT where Emerson provides services Internal IIoT deployments includes customers monitoring their valves and fieldbus instruments from anywhere in the world across their private Intranet. External IIoT deployments include customers where Emerson is monitoring the health of their steam traps and gas chromatographs etc. That is, Emerson provides the expertise and help them get the most value out of Emerson products. Learn more from this ARC article industrial-iot.com/.../ And this success story www2.emersonprocess.com/.../00830-0400-4708.pdf Wireless and fieldbus instrumentation is the foundation which IIoT is built upon.

I agree with Barb and Michalle. This was a great story. Thanks for sharing, I remember it being tough when I first started working at a plant, that was 95+% male with 1 or 2 female engineers at best. Time has brought change and I hope for you as well since moving back to Italy. Keep us posted and stay in touch, we need to be there to support each other, so we don't always feel alone.

Forum Post: RE: Concept of IOT in Process Automation Appplications
IoT grows out of the concept that computing can be deployed anywhere by any type of object capable of gathering or generating information to quickly integrate disparate information for deriving value and insight, a novel concept for the consumer market and non industrial sectors. Industrial automation has traditionally practiced discipline (perhaps to their peril) by marshalling these data sources together to build manageable pipelines of information, rather than scattered fibers of information. IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) tries to frame the IoT concept as if it is a new idea for industry, but companies like OSIsoft will point out that they have been espousing this idea since their inception in the 80s, but again by first consolidating the disparate data into a centralized system framework. Is it appealing to have edge devices in industrial facilities generating data that then bypasses the traditional automation architectures in an effort to expedite consumption for enterprise applications? How does a decision made by an enterprise system 'close the loop'?

Thanks everyone, the plant is currently down (was hoping it would be back in today) as soon as I get it back I'll have a look and reply to all your comments, in the mean time thank you all for pointing me in the right direction.

DCS Newbie, the fail safe actions at the card regard what the channel does when it loses communication with the controller, not when there is a bad PV or logic issue.

Forum Post: RE: Can you dynamically change DeltaV Operator Theme Color set?
Matt, Thank you for your reply. We are using a PCSD library so color tables, etc. already exists. I believe you are correct when you say something may not be referenced properly. I do get an error when I compile the SIGlobals project, as seen in the screen capture: This may be an easy fix but my coding is quite rusty. To me, it looks like "Me" can only be used in Class Modules, which the "modDynTheme" module I created is not. Thank you for your help!

estos sellos producen caída de presión en el proceso?

Forum Post: RE: sellos diafragma con capilar para transmisores diferenciales de presion de medir nivel.
Jose, La respuesta concreta es NO. Los sellos capilares sirven para transmitir la presion del proceso hacia el transmisor, estos no afectan la presion del proceso dado que no generan ninguna restriccion al flujo. Dado que los estas usando para medir nivel probablemente si el sello esta danado, no refleja adecuadamente la presion de la columna que estas esperando o tal vez el calculo de nivel no esta utilizando la gravedad especifica del producto. Dejame saber si esta respuesta satisface tu pregunta.

Blog Post: Integrated Biometric Authentication in Electronic Records
How many of you have more passwords than you can possibly remember? Count me in with the affirmatives. Biometric authentication is one way to overcome this large and growing problem. For process manufacturers and producers, especially those in highly regulated industries such as pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing, authenticated actions also need to be recorded to prove that the manufacturing process was done in compliance with what was designed and validated. I caught up with Emerson’s Jay Jeffreys on what manufacturers were doing to simplify the authentication and recordkeeping process in these regulated industries to meet legal and compliance requirements. He described how the Syncade Operations Management software integrates Xyntek’s biometrics solutions , which compares the physical user biometric scan against stored biometrics data. Some forms of identification may include a person’s iris, fingerprint, palm-vein or voice. Once the authentication occurs, this confirmation is added to the electronic records managed by the Syncade software of the product being produced. Beyond minimizing security risks associated with lost/stolen passwords and identification cards, this biometric authentication method can speed up signoff times and provide documentation that is more complete. This process helps shifts the focus from paperwork to maintaining the quality of the products produced. Jay noted that operational savings of 50% or more could be realized, primarily in areas of data capture, document preparation, and review. For regulatory requirements such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s 21 CFR Part 11 compliance for system security, user access, and electronic signatures is a matter of who you are versus what you know and what you have. Manufacturers that have installed biometrics have realized cost savings by replacing typical username and password entries with quick and simple scans, reducing the level of IT support required. Moving the biometric authentication process into the electronic records provides improved searchability, easier-to-prove compliance for signing and witnessing steps and a shorter cycle from end of batch production to ready for sale with the complete electronic record produced in parallel with the batch. Integrating biometric authentication into electronic records is not limited to highly regulated industries but any industry where transactions and workflow steps require proof of action by individuals.

You can also connect and interact with other operations management and manufacturing execution experts in the Operations Management group in the Emerson Exchange 365 community.

Forum Post: Lost VIM configuration file(VIO) and completely forgot VIM IP address
Hello everybody , we need some help! I'm doing site commissioning for DeltaV system which is using VIM Card for ModbusTCP interfacing during FAT period we've configured and commissioned the VIM card with specific IP address assign to the VIM Unfortunately, after everything ship to the site we have lost our configurations file for the VIM and completely forgot the VIM IP address is there any way to decommission the VIM Cards without having the IP address of the VIM ? and how can connect to the VIM without having its IP address what I understand is we have to know the IP address of the VIM for setting our PC/Laptop IP address in order to connect to the VIM by the VimNet Explore. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Forum Post: RE: Can you dynamically change DeltaV Operator Theme Color set?
Chris, Looks like you have v12 PCSD graphics so do the following: Create a Rectangle on a graphic (Picture, Toolbar, etc) - later you can change this to a combobox if you want Right click on this rectangle and select Edit Script Add the below three lines: SIGlobals.gn_ThemeSelection.CurrentValue = 3 Project_SIGlobals.hcdInitializeColorTables SIGlobals.gn_ThemeSelection.CurrentValue frszTbResetLayout Me The number 3 corresponds to Dark Blue Theme, 0=Silver, 1=Tan, 2=Light Blue and 4=Dark Gray (only for v13 PCSD). See if this gets you to change the theme without errors.
