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

這兩家全球領導者的技術交換將擴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).

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過程控製係統接口以及其過程設備管理器(PDM)工具，以支持現時他們支持的Profibus和HARTbiaozhunyiwaidejijinhuixianchangzongxianbiaozhun。zhejiangshideximenzidexitongkeyilianjiegengduoleixingdeaimoshengjijinhuixianchangzongxianyiqihefamenkongzhiqiyijiqitazhichijijinhuixianchangzongxiangongsideshebei。

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.

艾默生也將同樣擴展其DeltaV和 Ovation控製係統以及AMS 套件：智能設備管理器應用軟件以支持除目前他們支持的基金會現場總線標準和HART 標準以外的Profibus DP和Profinet標準。這使得艾默生將可以連接更多種類的西門子驅動設備、電動機啟動器、其它離散設備以及其它公司生產的支持Profibus DP 和 Profinet標準的設備。

”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評論道：“基金會現場總線是過程控製領域公認的全球標準，而Profibus DP 和Profinet則是製造控製領域尤其是電氣驅動設備中公認的標準。艾默生通過增加新的現場總線接口可以運用EDDL輕鬆地將具有豐富功能的西門子驅動設備與我們的AMS設(she)備(bei)管(guan)理(li)器(qi)係(xi)統(tong)和(he)自(zi)動(dong)化(hua)係(xi)統(tong)連(lian)接(jie)。通(tong)過(guo)這(zhe)種(zhong)方(fang)式(shi)就(jiu)可(ke)以(yi)將(jiang)我(wo)們(men)的(de)設(she)備(bei)管(guan)理(li)應(ying)用(yong)軟(ruan)件(jian)係(xi)統(tong)運(yun)用(yong)到(dao)更(geng)多(duo)的(de)工(gong)廠(chang)設(she)備(bei)，這(zhe)是(shi)全(quan)球(qiu)標(biao)準(zhun)給(gei)用(yong)戶(hu)帶(dai)來(lai)利(li)益(yi)的(de)一(yi)個(ge)例(li)子(zi)。”

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.”

據西門子自動化與驅動 (A&D) 董事會成員Anton S. Huber表示現場設備集成的進一步一體化將帶來更多的好處
，尤其是在不同種類的係統：“基金會現場總線

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係統中采用OPC基金會新推出的OPC UA（用於過程控製統一架構的OLE）標準。將EDDL 與OPC UA相結合用於數據交換是現場總線基金會，HART通訊基金會及PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation 總線技術協會推薦采用的方式。該項技術的優點在於將EDDL連續應用於數據描述及傳遞數據到用戶接口。EDDL還用於描述任何OPC服務器和OPC客戶應用程序的信息交換

，從而實現了操作係統及其變量的相對獨立。艾默生和西門子都將大力支持開發必要的OPC UA規範及EDDL的進一步改進。
