Experion PKS differs from PlantScape in many ways.

It is important to understand that Experion PKS will not be delivered with separate flavors like PlantScape was with PlantScape ista! PlantScape S"#$#! and PlantScape Process. Experion PKS! as a sin%le product! provides all the capabilities of the PlantScape varieties by allowin% the user to select a mix of point types. &hese point types are known as Process Points 'points created with "ontrol (uilder for ")**s and #"E+ and S"#$# Points 'points created with ,uick (uilder for S"#$# interfaces to -&.s! P/"s! etc.+.

Fieldbus Enhancements Fieldbus Interface odule !edundancy

-edundant 9oundation 9ieldbus 4= interface technolo%y provides continued communications between the system host and 9ieldbus se%ment devices in the event of a primary 9ieldbus Interface 5odule '9I5+ failure. In addition to 9I5 redundancy! bus power redundancy insures hi%h availability of devices in the event of a bus power supply failure. &hese features allow Experion PKS to provide the robustness to meet the needs of the most critical industries! includin% refinin% and petrochemicals. &he implementation of a redundant 9ieldbus interface consists of a pair of 9ieldbus Interface 5odules. In the event of a primary 9I5 failure! switchover occurs with

minimal loss of 9ieldbus se%ment messa%in% and with as minimal an interruption to process control as possible. -emoval or failure of the primary 9I5 similarly results in a switchover to the backup 9I5. "loc# Instantiation &he 9ieldbus (lock Instantiation function %ives the Experion PKS system the ability to support the block instantiation capability in 9ieldbus devices. &he (lock Instantiation capability is intended to provide control en%ineers with the flexibility to choose the function blocks that will execute in a %iven field device. $evice manufacturers deliver their transmitters! valves! etc with a set of function blocks that can execute inside them. &oday! most device manufacturers provide a fixed set of blocks within their devices. In the future! an increasin% number of devices will support the ability to instantiate blocks. (lock Instantiation uses the same tools that users are familiar with from PlantScape -H** and laterK namely 9ieldbus /ibrary 5ana%er '9/5+ and "ontrol (uilder. ethods # 9ieldbus method is a device independent code se%ment written by a $$ developer usin% a subset of #;SI " lan%ua%e. 5ethods are written to support the host access! manipulation! and display of $$ defined ob?ects. 5ethods can be used for a variety of functions includin% automatic calibration! settin% protection! settin% up the instrument! etc. &hese methods are a predetermined se<uence of steps for information re<uired to setup! calibrate! and perform other functions on the instrument. &he host system determines how the messa%es and prompts appear. 5ethods describe operatin% procedures! so that the system can %uide the user throu%h a se<uence of actions! for example to re1calibrate an instrument.

(asin% the plant confi%uration on templates will simplify maintenance by ensurin% consistency between multiple components over the lifecycle of the plant. Propa%ation of confi%uration information will improve the productivity of a team of application en%ineers! allowin% chan%es made to one template to propa%ate to a lar%e number of derived instances. &ualification 'ersion Control System (&'CS) ersionin% of control strate%ies is a feature that is especially useful to the pharmaceutical industry because they re<uire validation by the user3manufacturer accordin% to rules defined by the ..S. 9$# '9ood and $ru% #dministration+ and other national and international a%encies 'e.%.

&his release introduces the infrastructure re<uired to provide on1process release mi%ration '8P5+ for both the server and controller platforms! when confi%ured redundantly. &his optional feature makes it possible to mi%rate to a new release while the operator maintains view and control over the process. It is the intention that every new release after -=** supports on1process mi%ration! especially bu%1fix releases. In addition to 8P5! the system supports release interoperability. 9rom Experion PKS -=** forward! this feature allows the user to choose which controllers need new functionality and may need to be mi%rated to a new release after -=**. &he controllers! which donDt re<uire that functionality! can be left at the current -=** release. &his %ives enormous flexibility and prevents unnecessary controller mi%rations in the future.
