Title: New Features in DeltaV SimulatePro
1
New Features in DeltaV SimulatePro
- Available in DeltaV v7.2
2
DeltaV SimulatePro DeltaV v7.2
- New DeltaV SimulatePro features for operator
training and control development and checkout. - Save and Restore Allows a snapshot to be
created of the control modules assigned to one or
more PC nodes. - Convert Automatically transforms blocks
assigned to fieldbus to to their equivalent
DeltaV function block. Also, changes external I/O
reference parameters so that applications may
read and write these parameters.

New Feature - On-Demand Save Request
Choose the node(s) and provide Save file

4
Auto Save Option
Choose period, nodes, description
5
Restoring All or Parts of Snapshot
6
Updating a Save File
- The following procedure should be followed to
allow previous save file values to be retained - Load the configuration used when the last save
file was created. Request a Restore (with option
to resume execution NOT selected) - Import new or modified modules, assign to PC
nodes and do a partial download. - Set the desired initial value of the parameters
in the modules that were downloaded - Request a Save to create an updated Save file
7
New Feature - SimulatePro Convert
- Convert may be accessed by right clicking on the
PC node in DeltaV Explorer. - All blocks assigned to fieldbus are changed to
their equivalent controller blocks - All external I/O references are redefined as
external parameter references
8
After Executing SimulatePro Convert
- A new module whose tag is M_PC name appears in
the list of assigned modules. - Converted modules show up as needing to be
downloaded since the modules have been changed.
New Module Automatically Created
9
Devices Referenced in Example Modules
- Foundation Fieldbus transmitter and valve
- PLC with data sets defined for input and holding
registers
10
Conversion of Blocks Assigned to Fieldbus
- Blocks assigned to fieldbus are automatically
changed to their equivalent DeltaV block. - Conversion is one way and thus should be done
using a copy of the primary database.
11
On-line Execution of Converted Module Containing
Fieldbus Blocks
- All blocks execute as they would in fieldbus.
- Control logic may be checked out by enabling
Simulate in input blocks - Blocks execute exactly as they will in fieldbus
devices.
12
Example of Module Using External I/O References
- External I/O references are commonly used in
modules. - Provide a means of including input/output from
PLCs, sub-systems, and fieldbus e.g. Asi,
DeviceNet, Profibus. - In a simulation environment, these external I/O
references are invalid. DeltaV SimulatePro
Convert addresses this issue.
13
Conversion of Modules with I/O References
- I/O references are automatically converted to
external parameter references no impact on
displays that use these parameters. - A new module is automatically created that
contains all parameter referenced by modules
assigned to the node - The new modules name is M_ PC machine name
Converted Module
Reference Module
14
On-line Execution of Converted Module
- Referenced parameters in the new modules may be
read and written from control studio allowing
control logic to be checked out. - Process Simulate packages may read and write
these reference parameters using OPC. - Modules may be created that use these parameters
to duplicate the logic contained in the PLC,
subsystem etc.
15
Converted Reference May be Viewed and Values
Changed from SimulatePro
16
Convert is One-Way
- Always import modules into the training or
development system from the plants DeltaV
control system. - Periodically Import any changes or updates in the
modules or displays.
Operator Training or Engineering Test System

Summary
- The DeltaV SimulatePro Save and Restore features
are useful for operator training and in
engineering development and control checkout. - The SimulatePro Convert feature allows blocks
assigned Fieldbus and External I/O references to
be automatically modified so they can be utilized
in the DeltaV Simulate environment
