Field Digital Baseline Tuning

The Importance of Field Digital Solutions

One of the major advantages of field digital solutions is the ability to gather large amounts of information on Foundation fieldbus & HART assets. Customers blieve they will have this advantage and be able to reduce downtime and maintenance costs if they install an online and centralized automated asset management system such as PRM. However, if PRM is not effectively managed and alarms and events are not handled correctly, it may be difficult to grasp and diagnose actual asset conditions, negating some of the benefits of field digital solutions

As part of its InsightSuite services solutions, Yokogawa performs field digital baseline tuning of Foundation fieldbus & HART devices to optimize PRM's alarm and event conditions, enabling a condition-based maintenance (CBM) approach that paves the way for asset excellence.

Challenge to Customers

A flood of difficult to comprehend information from field devices

  • Root causes of asset problems are difficult to identify and analyze
  • Asset management is nearly impossible to plan
  • Unable to make optimum use of PRM's solution-oriented functions that can reap the full benefits of plant assets

Benefits and Solutions and Benefits to Customers - Data Analysis, Analysis Report, Detailed Analysis, Countermeasures

"The ability to quickly and easily identify problems by monitoring all control loops provides a strong foundation for stable plant control"

The Importance of Control Loop Diagnostics

High level plant control is the foundation for productivity improvements. An ideal plant is achieved by optimized plant control, which increases productivity by ensuring that process units and other plant assets operate stably.

While price competition has become increasingly fierce, the number of board operators and maintenance peoples is markedly decreasing due to a shrinking workforce and the retirement of experienced personnel. Our InsightSuiteAE control loop diagnostics service enables board operators and maintenance people to do real-time monitoring of all their control loops at a glance and to quickly and easily identify which ones require maintenance. As a result, it reduces their workload.

In addition, by combining our control loop and control valve diagnostics, major problems such as inadequate tuning of control loops and/or control valves and incorrect configuration of control loops can be better understood. 

Benefits to Customers

With Yokogawas consulting and reporting services, customers can identisy and gain insight into problems. It is possible, for example, to identify whether all control loops are operating properly and are correctly automated. We provide the following solutions that make it possible for our customers customers to minimize their maintenance costs:

Evaluation of control loops using simplified key performance indicators (KPIs). No special skills or knowlege of terminology is required to grasp the loop conditions.

Decision support for operators and maintenance people concerning remedial actions that will improve control loop controllability. This includes the generation of a list that will clarify problematic loop behaviors.

A consulting service that identifies problem areas in control loops and analyzes their root causes.
