Process Instrumentation Collaboration

Feb. 19, 2009
As Rockwell Automation Inc. continues to bolster its process automation capabilities, it increasingly works with Endress+Hauser for the instrumentation portion of the portfolio.
The companies have collaborated to develop tools providing diagnostics and step-by-step guidance on connectivity, configuration and commissioning of Endress+Hauser instrumentation with Rockwell’s PlantPAx process automation system. The tools include pre-engineered controller code, pre-configured operator faceplates and integration documentation. All of the tools are available for the most commonly used Endress+Hauser process instrumentation.

“We recognize the challenges faced within the industry when integrating advanced instrumentation into a plant-wide process control system. These new tools for device integration will help significantly ease implementation,” said Steve Pulsifer, director of Process Market Development, Rockwell Automation.

Todd Lucey, General Manager, Endress+Hauser added, “They also will enable the PlantPAx system to gather and visualize previously isolated process instrumentation diagnostics.”
