Global leaders to exchange technology that will extend interoperability and end-user benefits

這兩家全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者的技術(shù)交換將擴(kuò)大互用性和終端用戶利益

AUSTIN, TEXAS (July 11, 2006) -- Emerson Process Management and Siemens Automation and Drives (A&D) announced today their expansion of system interfaces to enable both companies to expand support of global fieldbus standards. The companies will exchange technology and engineering support to add the interfaces that extend their systems and software to offer customers expanded global interoperability and greater functionality. First products are expected to be available mid-2007.The cooperation grew out of the work both companies have done with user-supplier consortiums to deliver fully open and interoperable field instrumentation and electric drives using the newly enhanced global standard Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL).

德州奧克斯7月11日消息——愛默生過程管理和西門子自動(dòng)化和驅(qū)動(dòng)(A&D)今天宣布擴(kuò)充系統(tǒng)接口，使得這兩家公司支持更多的全球現(xiàn)場總線標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。兩家公司將進(jìn)行接口擴(kuò)充相關(guān)的技術(shù)交流和工程支持，擴(kuò)展他們的系統(tǒng)和軟件，為客戶提供更大的全球互用性和更強(qiáng)大的功能。首批產(chǎn)品預(yù)計(jì)將于2007年中面市。該合作源于兩家公司與用戶供應(yīng)商聯(lián)盟所完成的工作，運(yùn)用增強(qiáng)的最新全球標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的電子設(shè)備描述語言(EDDL)開發(fā)完全開放的，可互用的現(xiàn)場儀器和電動(dòng)驅(qū)動(dòng)。

Siemens will add interfaces to the company's Simatic PCS 7 process control system and its Process Device Manager (PDM) tool to support FOUNDATION fieldbus standards, in addition to the Profibus and HART standards they support today. This will enable Siemens to connect to the extensive array of FOUNDATION fieldbus instruments and valve controllers from Emerson, as well as devices from other companies who support FOUNDATION fieldbus.

西門子將增加其Simatic PCS 7過程控制系統(tǒng)接口以及其過程設(shè)備管理器(PDM)工具，以支持現(xiàn)時(shí)他們支持的Profibus和HART標(biāo)準(zhǔn)以外的基金會(huì)現(xiàn)場總線標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。這將使得西門子的系統(tǒng)可以連接更多類型的艾默生基金會(huì)現(xiàn)場總線儀器和閥門控制器以及其它支持基金會(huì)現(xiàn)場總線公司的設(shè)備。

Emerson will similarly expand its DeltaV and Ovation control systems, as well as the company's AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager application, with an interface for Profibus DP and Profinet standards, in addition to the FOUNDATION fieldbus and HART standards they support today. This will enable Emerson to connect to the extensive array of drives, motor starters, and other discrete devices from Siemens, as well as devices from other companies who support Profibus DP and Profinet.

艾默生也將同樣擴(kuò)展其DeltaV和 Ovation控制系統(tǒng)以及AMS 套件：智能設(shè)備管理器應(yīng)用軟件以支持除目前他們支持的基金會(huì)現(xiàn)場總線標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和HART 標(biāo)準(zhǔn)以外的Profibus DP和Profinet標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。這使得艾默生將可以連接更多種類的西門子驅(qū)動(dòng)設(shè)備、電動(dòng)機(jī)啟動(dòng)器、其它離散設(shè)備以及其它公司生產(chǎn)的支持Profibus DP 和 Profinet標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的設(shè)備。

”FOUNDATION fieldbus is the established global standard in process automation,” commented John Berra, president of Emerson Process Management. “In manufacturing automation, especially in electric drives, Profibus DP and Profinet are the established standards. Addition of new fieldbus interfaces will enable Emerson to use enhanced EDDL to easily connect the rich functionality of Siemens drives to our AMS Device Manager and our automation systems. Extending the value of our asset management applications to more plant assets in this way is just one example of the benefit to customers of global standards.”

艾默生過程管理總裁John Berra評(píng)論道：“基金會(huì)現(xiàn)場總線是過程控制領(lǐng)域公認(rèn)的全球標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，而Profibus DP 和Profinet則是制造控制領(lǐng)域尤其是電氣驅(qū)動(dòng)設(shè)備中公認(rèn)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。艾默生通過增加新的現(xiàn)場總線接口可以運(yùn)用EDDL輕松地將具有豐富功能的西門子驅(qū)動(dòng)設(shè)備與我們的AMS設(shè)備管理器系統(tǒng)和自動(dòng)化系統(tǒng)連接。通過這種方式就可以將我們的設(shè)備管理應(yīng)用軟件系統(tǒng)運(yùn)用到更多的工廠設(shè)備，這是全球標(biāo)準(zhǔn)給用戶帶來利益的一個(gè)例子?！?

According to Anton S. Huber, member of the board at Siemens A&D, further harmonization of field device integration will prove advantages particularly in heterogeneous system landscapes: “FOUNDATION fieldbus, HART and Profibus have become the communication standards worldwide. Users can choose from a variety of process instruments that have the interfaces to suit the control system concerned. The potential for improving plant efficiency lies, however, in further integration by the uniform EDDL communication technology and the respective software tools. We strongly support such activities.”

據(jù)西門子自動(dòng)化與驅(qū)動(dòng) (A&D) 董事會(huì)成員Anton S. Huber表示現(xiàn)場設(shè)備集成的進(jìn)一步一體化將帶來更多的好處，尤其是在不同種類的系統(tǒng)：“基金會(huì)現(xiàn)場總線，HART 和Profibus已經(jīng)成為了全球通訊標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。用戶可以從多種過程儀器中選擇適合其控制系統(tǒng)接口的儀器。然而，提高工廠生產(chǎn)效率的潛力就取決于如何進(jìn)一步將統(tǒng)一的EDDL通訊技術(shù)與各自的軟件工具集成。我們強(qiáng)烈支持此類工作的開展。 ”

Emerson and Siemens will also use in their host systems the pending OPC UA （OLE for Process Control Unified Architecture）standard from the OPC Foundation. The combination of EDDL and OPC UA for data exchange is recommended by the Fieldbus Foundation, HART Communication Foundation and PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation. The advantage of this technology is the consistent use of EDDL for data description and presentation to the user interface. EDDL is also used to describe the information exchange between any OPC server and OPC client applications, thereby attaining a major degree of independence from operating systems and their variants. Both companies will actively support development of the necessary OPC UA specifications and the enhancements of EDDL.

艾默生和西門子將在其主系統(tǒng)中采用OPC基金會(huì)新推出的OPC UA（用于過程控制統(tǒng)一架構(gòu)的OLE）標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。將EDDL 與OPC UA相結(jié)合用于數(shù)據(jù)交換是現(xiàn)場總線基金會(huì)，HART通訊基金會(huì)及PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation 總線技術(shù)協(xié)會(huì)推薦采用的方式。該項(xiàng)技術(shù)的優(yōu)點(diǎn)在于將EDDL連續(xù)應(yīng)用于數(shù)據(jù)描述及傳遞數(shù)據(jù)到用戶接口。EDDL還用于描述任何OPC服務(wù)器和OPC客戶應(yīng)用程序的信息交換，從而實(shí)現(xiàn)了操作系統(tǒng)及其變量的相對(duì)獨(dú)立。艾默生和西門子都將大力支持開發(fā)必要的OPC UA規(guī)范及EDDL的進(jìn)一步改進(jìn)。
