Introduction

Emerson offers Design and Comprehensive level display

transition services to meet a variety of transition needs.

The display transition design service is your best choice when

migrating from RS3 consoles and controllers to the DeltaV

process automation system. Taking full advantage of new

technologies, graphics standards and onboard DeltaV system

capabilities, this service delivers the optimal operator interface

for your plant.

Display (Before)

RS3

In the design service, the Emerson team works with your process

and graphics personnel to develop a graphics standard,

incorporating the new display technology and your plant

operating procedures and philosophies. Using this new graphics

standard and elements from the DeltaV libraries, the team

develops your graphics library. Then, they translate your existing

RS3 graphics into DeltaV operator interface graphics.

DeltaV™ Display (Design Service—After)

RS3™ to DeltaV™ Display Transition Services

February 2021

The display transition comprehensive service provides DeltaV

displays that are functional equivalents of the original RS3

displays. Combining the expertise of our engineering staff with

the use of an automated conversion utility, the comprehensive

service generates DeltaV operator interface displays with 100% of

the original RS3 display functionality. The service greatly reduces

the time, effort and risk associated with converting your graphic

displays.

Design and comprehensive services feature complete DeltaV

displays, ready for checkout and use at the plant. They are 100%

compatible with DeltaV Operate for easy maintenance.

Benefits

Improved operator interface using DeltaV technology. The

transition service takes advantage of the latest in DeltaV

operator interface capabilities. Your operators will have a

consistent, easy-to-understand and easy-to-use interface,

which helps them run the plant more effectively.

Leverage expertise at Emerson. Emerson is staffed by

engineers who know the RS3 and DeltaV systems extremely

well. They use that expertise to get the most out of the DeltaV

operator interface. They will work with you to create an

operator interface that reinforces and supports your plant

operating procedures.

Reduce the time and effort spent on building new displays. Keep

your personnel and their capabilities focused on more critical

plant priorities.

Manage the pace of your technology investments by phasing the

upgrades. Immediately deploy new DeltaV operator interface

technologies that work with your existing controls, enabling you

to plan future automation investments while enjoying the

benefits of enhanced capabilities.

Service Description

Options

To enhance your transition project, the following service options

should be considered.

 Custom dynamic graphic element design. Emerson can

develop customized 2D and 3D graphic elements and DeltaV

dynamic objects to replace grouped objects for

improving the ease of maintenance of your converted DeltaV

graphic displays.

 Development of a plant graphic standard. This standard will

document and describe the symbols, guidelines,

color schemes, gray scale, and other conventions that the

team develops. It serves as a reference to ensure ongoing

consistency as you expand and update the system.

 Development of a plant graphics library. Use elements from

existing DeltaV libraries with your new graphic standard to

generate graphic elements that can easily be reused.

Site Services. At any time during the development of the



displays, site visits may be advantageous. When the display

transitions are completed, the displays should be checked

out at the plant. Emerson sales/services offices can supply

personnel to assist with or lead this effort. All site work is

priced on a time and materials basis.



Operator Training. Emerson provides comprehensive training

for your entire staff, including engineering, safety,

maintenance, and operations personnel. Emerson’s training

formats—eLearning, traditional classroom, onsite and

dynamic simulation-based training—apply hands- on and

learn-by-doing approaches to ensure that you achieve

your training goals.

Contact your local Emerson office for more details about

these options.

Included in all transition services:

 Expert project management using certified and

proven ISO-9000 methodology.

 Transition of RS3 graphics to DeltaV operator

interface graphics.
