WDPF-to-Ovation Migration -- The Ovation Advantage



 
You Get So Much More
Powerful, fully redundant Ovation PC-based controllers with embedded advanced control algorithms
Industry standard 100 Mbs Fast Ethernet control and information network
Easy connectivity to plant WANs, LANs and third-party devices
Fully integrated engineering tools including a user-friendly, CAD-based control builder
The ability to seamlessly incorporate fieldbus networks in Emerson's PlantWeb digital plant architecture
A key component of Emerson's Plantweb digital architecture, the Ovation expert control system embodies Emerson's four decades of unsurpassed expertise by giving users higher levels of plant availability, reliability, and environmental compliance.

From basic control and monitoring to fleet or district-wide integration, Ovation offers seamless communication with fieldbus networks, intelligent field devices and integrated asset management solutions to deliver the power of predictive intelligence.

By incorporating industry standard hardware platforms, operating systems and network architectures, only the Ovation expert control system stays new in the face of rapidly advancing technology. Over time, your Ovation system can evolve incrementally, incorporating new technologies while preserving your investment in control logic, process graphics and operator training.

 

OVATION CONTROLLER


The precision of the Ovation expert control system begins with the Ovation Controller. With an Intel Pentium® PC at its heart, the Ovation controller provides full redundancy to assure the reliability and security necessary for even the most demanding application.

Through the WDPF-to-Ovation migration process, your existing control logic is converted to equivalent Ovation algorithms that provide either identical or enhanced functionality over their WDPF counterparts.

In addition, you get Ovation's Advanced Process Control (APC) Toolkit, a set of specialty algorithms and pre-defined control routines that leverage the ever-expanding computing power of the Ovation controller. The APC Toolkit takes control to a higher level by incorporating fuzzy logic, neural networks, model predictive control and industry specific applications to reduce process variability and optimize process performance over the full range of plant operating conditions.


The Ovation expert control system allows you to incorporate advanced, intelligent field devices to create a PlantWeb digital plant architecture by providing seamless integration with widely adopted bus standards such as HART, FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus, Profibus DP and DeviceNet™. These digital bus technologies deliver rich diagnostic information from the field to the Ovation control system, providing valuable, new insight into plant operations.




AMS™ Suite: Intelligent Device Manager™, an integrated component of Ovation, puts this information at the fingertips of plant personnel by offering them an integrated window into the health of HART, Foundation fieldbus and traditional field devices as well as the surrounding processes.

With Ovation, you get the latest technology, improved performance, increased functionality, and so much more.
