Siemens Applied Automation Process Gas Chromatography Lets Do

Siemens Applied Automation Process Gas Chromatography Let’s Do It! Using Ne. SSI IFPAC: February 2006 Ne. SSI – Lets Do It. ppt Slide 1; IFPAC; February 22, 2006

Siemens Applied Automation A Bit Of Philosophy Process Gas Chromatography Some projects are easy to get started: • A clear goal • One way to proceed with one set of benefits and problems • A clear task to do Some projects are more difficult to get started: • Various overlapping objectives • Multiple, valid ways to proceed with differing benefits and problems • Several tasks to be accomplished This is particularly true when the benefits and problems must be estimated and you are lacking in practical experience because you’re dealing with a new idea.

Siemens Applied Automation So What Does a Project Manager Do? Process Gas Chromatography Ø Stick to a schedule Ø Stick to a budget Ø Sometimes, you need to do something – maybe ANYTHING – even if it’s not perfect – in order to get things going. Ø This can be true EVEN if you’re dealing with possible rework later on. Ø On a project intended to result in the benefits of doing a thing better: ► ► The costs continue to occur even if you do nothing; The benefits NEVER occur if you do nothing! Ne.

Siemens Applied Automation A Bit More On the Bus Question Process Gas Chromatography Ø Fieldbus ► ► Advantages: Intended for field process use; well defined; widely deployed; device definition available; IS available… Disadvantages: ? ? ; Join in costs; stack costs; development knowledge; support resources Ø CAN Open ► ► Advantages: Inexpensive; very rugged chip set; very widely deployed; device definition available Disadvantages: ? ? ; IS not yet available; intended for automotive, not process Ø I 2 C or Other ► ► Advantages: Extremely inexpensive; very widely known; no development overhead; electrical devices defined Disadvantages: IS by third party; not originally intended for outside the box; device definitions may be limited Ne.

Siemens Applied Automation Another Note Process Gas Chromatography Ø The bus questions is only ONE of the issues awaiting standardization Ø The bus question is probably the LEAST difficult issue! Ne. SSI – Lets Do It. ppt Slide 15; IFPAC; February 22, 2006

Siemens Applied Automation So – why wait? Process Gas Chromatography Ø Mechanical components are here Ø Electrical interface is here in a variety of forms ► ► Ne. SSI standard not agreed = > limited interchangeability = > some components not available Intrinsic safety not standardized = > field inspection required Ø SAM can be implemented by PLCs and some “smart” analyzers in a variety of ways ► HMI features controlled by PLCs ► Interchangeability of software modules is limited Ne. SSI – Lets Do It. ppt Ø So, there are some limitations that are not available until the Ne. SSI committee completes it’s actions ► Many valuable benefits are here, however Ø There might be a cost of retrofit in the future – IF it was desirable in the future to shift to a pure Ne. SSI standard ► The architecture and philosophy is available now ► Retrofit costs might not be extensive ► The retrofit itself is optional Slide 17; IFPAC; February 22, 2006

Siemens Applied Automation Conclusions Process Gas Chromatography Ø Users should implement with what is available now ► Use “closest available” from their preferred supplier ► Be sure “closest available” is in the same direction as Ne. SSI is going ► Don’t worry if “closest available” does not exactly match in the future ► Plan to field retrofit IF desirable and needed Ø Siemens ► Plans to support this approach using our available busses now ► Plans to continue to support the Ne. SSI efforts toward full standardization Ne. SSI – Lets Do It. ppt Slide 18; IFPAC; February 22, 2006
