I/O cards with builtin safety barriers would reduce the count for some I/O types somewhat. 16
Simplify Complex Device Wiring Conventional One device, twelve wires Electric actuator (MOV) open/stop/close control, desired position, shut down, plus eleven feedback signals like limit switches, percentage open, local/remote status, opening/closing, torque tripped, percentage torque, and temperature tripped... Valve positioner Setpoint, feedback, limit switches... On/off actuator Setpoint, limit switches... Mass flow transmitter Mass, volume, density, temperature... Fieldbus One cable, twelve devices Many DI/DO cards eliminated Flexibility to include more signals in control strategy later without new wire or I/O cards Conventional: Multiple pairs per device Fieldbus: Single pair Many devices 6
RemoteI/O 30 m Module Cabinet Network 500 m Control Cabinet Power Topside Modules Network Power I/O in panels on modules on deck Part of system on deck Harsh environment Harder to access Devices still analog and on/off Still many wires Tradeoff between cabinet quantity and wire length Total: 2,240 m IER Larger cabinets on deck Cabinets require power Planning which cabinet goes where Devices not digital Not all digitally integrated... 7

RemoVe Discrete I/O High degree of digital instrumentation Fieldbus removes the need for a large portion of DI and DO Many DI for valve limit switches: Gone Many DO for valve actuation solenoids: Gone Use entry level Fieldbus transmitters in place of pressure switches, level switches, and flow switches etc Better diagnostics 11

13 FOUNDATION fieldbus Architecture Advantage
Advantages of FOUNDATION fieldbus 14 Multidrop wiring Wiring savings Closed loop digital control... Realtime status and feedback Highdensity devices... Transmitters with multiple channels Complex devices Wiring savings Greater signal fidelity Distortion can be detected Increased device diagnostics More powerful devices Firmware download Online upgrade Realnumber data transmission No skew of values
New Innovative Devices High Density Temperature Transmitter Machinery Health Transmitter You need a FOUNDATION fieldbus infrastructure to benefit from these new devices 8 Point Remote Indicator 2 Channel Temperature Transmitter 8 DI and 4 DO 15
HighDensity Transmitter Lower Cost: Fewer Transmitters, Less Wire Installed Cost Per Point $1,200 $1,000 $800 $600 $400 $200 65 % Installed Cost Savings 16 $0 Wire Direct Shorter sensor wires Less noise pickup Fewer cables Lower cost LowCost Programmable Transmitter Multiplexer High Density Transmitter
