Advances in Foundation Fieldbus HSE technology
Taking a significant step to further advance Foundation Fieldbus High Speed Ethernet (HSE) technology, Smar has registered a new class of linking device: the DF51 42a2
System302 was installed to monitor, control and generate reports of the process.
The continuous and logic controls are executed almost entirely with FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices of different manufacturers.
Throughout the process, interoperability and control were verified with System302.
This provides more evidence of the Smar Guarantee of Interoperability with Foundation Fieldbus devices, as tested by the Fieldbus Foundation.
As the natural water sources are located more than 6 km from the brewery and include several production and monitoring wells, the FOUNDATION Fieldbus solution from Smar proved to be an economic solution and produced substantial cost savings in both the installation and loop costs of the control system.
"System302 also provides open characteristics that can be utilised at the field level and in the remote integration, through an optical fiber with DCS (Distributed Control System)", comments Rodolfo Piedra, General Director of Control y Automatización - Smar Representative in Costa Rica.
"The System302 installation in Cervecería Centroamericana will be an example for many companies in Central America who are looking to improve results and increase cost savings and benefits", commented Gustavo Trovo, Smar Commercial Coordinator of the project.
