Cooper Industries: Confidential F OUNDATION Fieldbus™ - Practical Success Stories Phil Saward, Product Manager
2
Introduction Topics What is Fieldbus? Comparison with existing 4-20mA installations Typical field network F OUNDATION TM fieldbus in the Pharmaceutical industry When should Fieldbus be considered? Why use Foundation Fieldbus? Design, installation and commissioning Operation and maintenance Economic benefits Technical benefits

How is fieldbus different from 4-20mA? 4-20mA Power Supply fieldbus Power Supply In 4-20mA circuits, the power supply, field device and input card are connected in series. In a Fieldbus system, the power supply, field devices and input card are connected in parallel. Input card

F OUNDATION fieldbus TM in Pharmaceuticals Installed base worldwide (published by Fieldbus Foundation, 2008): >10,000 systems >700,000 field instruments Diverse adoption: 9 of the top 10 oil & gas companies 24 of the top 25 pharmaceutical manufacturers 23 of the top 25 chemical producers 15 of the top 20 pulp & paper companies 10 of the top 20 food & beverage companies ARC Advisory Group: “…powerful value proposition for fieldbus in the hybrid industries-namely, food & beverage and pharmaceutical, particularly when it comes to easing the process of validation and regulatory compliance and the integration of batch procedural operations with continuous processes. The function block structure of Foundation technology lends itself to these processes very well.”

When should fieldbus be considered? ‘Green Field’ Facility Facility Upgrade New unit operation Process Automation Focus ≥ 60% of sensors are analogue Existing cabling infrastructure is overloaded
11
Why use F OUNDATION fieldbus TM ? Integrated digital architecture “Future proof” Sensors can be field upgraded with new features Economic savings Different incentives at each stage of a facility life cycle: Capital/Construction Commissioning Operations, maintenance Reduced infrastructure
