Striking New Visualization for Sequence Execution
in Batch & Continuous Processes
Agenda
•
Operator/Engineer Visualization – Existing
•
Visualization Needs
•
Operator/Engineer Visualization – Orion
•
Value Benefits –
10% reduction in Sequence Engineering hours
How can I do this faster?

What’s going on here and what should I do?
Introduction
Q: What type of Experion Sequences are we visualizing & where
are they used?
A : Anything using Sequential Control Modules (SCM) or higher in
the control hierarchy
•
Batch Applications
– includes SCM, Recipe Control Modules
(RCM) & Class Based Recipes
•
Procedural Operations
– includes SCM & RCM for executing
procedures
Engineer Sequence Visualization Needs
Need
Engineer Effectiveness Orion Visualization
Reduce sequence
building time
Fewer configuration
steps
Improved editing
environment
Reduce editing time
during commissioning &
lifecycle maintenance
Faster
addition/deletion/moving
of sequence elements
Improved chart
visualization
Easy view of sequence
hierarchy connections
Faster navigation
through sequence

Reduce debugging time
in test & commissioning
Faster orientation, drill
down and visualization
Sequence shape
Complete & readable
auto generated
documentation
Reduced documentation

New Sequence Chart Engineer Visualization
Sequence blocks simplified & reflect ISA
S88/other standards
Layered sequences optionally show S88 procedural level with 45
Deg lines Block detail optionally
available in detail panel compacting charts
Previous vs New Visualization
Productivity Improvements
Right click navigation to child
level in hierarchy
Insert row (or column) in selected space Insert page in selected space Blocks snap on grid & can
be auto aligned
Improved Printing
New print options
Thumbnail print preview & tabular step
Operator Effectiveness – Well Start Up
Operator controls well start up from single process display
Status of a group of steps shown with instructions &
check off for Individual activities
Free format text instructions for check off items
What do I do next?
Operator Effectiveness – Well Start Up
Indication & text instruction for non alarmed abnormal situation
Why did the pressure
stop ramping?
In Display Sequence Visualization
Why is this mixer taking so long?
I see it’s transferring
Transfer in to the Fermenter is running
…..it is stuck on step 30. I see not all additions are complete. I’ll
go check them
We have not run this recipe for 9 months. Now - what do I do with
the sample…..
Calculating the Value
Sequence VisualizationArea
Value Assumptions
Engineer productivity: Configuration, debug & document sequences
10% reduction in
sequence engineering hours
5000 I/O project with sequence content
Commissioning: On process debug & changes
5% reduction sequence engineering hours
New/expanded system with automation of sequences Lifecycle: Routine maintenance 10% reduction in engineering hours Routine maintenance of a running system
Operator effectiveness 1% annual productivity increase
Reduced cycle times, improved yield/conversion through automation of manual procedures
Abnormal situations 1 incident avoided every 2 years
Consistent automation of
procedures, improved operator guidance in an abnormal
