Fieldbus Benefits - Installation

• Fewer field devices and system cabinets - Lurgi,
  Kaneka
• Smaller control room footprint - Lurgi, Bowater
• Less wiring and terminations, 69- ARCO,
  60-Monsanto, also Lurgi, Bowater, Kaneka
• Reduced factory checkout, 83 - ARCO, also Lurgi
• Less commissioning time - Lurgi, Bowater,
  Singapore Polytechnic, Monsanto
• Consistent calibration procedure - Monsanto

5
Fieldbus Benefits - Operation

• Reduced raw materials - Mitsubishi
• Reduced process variability - Lurgi
• Stabilized product quality - Mitsubishi
• Improved process availability - Lurgi
• Expanded view of the instrumentation - Monsanto
• Process data includes status - Monsanto

6
Fieldbus Benefits - Maintenance

• Reduced effort for field calibration - Mitsubishi
• Eliminate unscheduled downtime - Bowater
• Includes self diagnostic tools - Lurgi, Monsanto,
  Kaneka
• Increased reliability due to diagnostics -
  Mitsubishi, Kaneka

Summary of Results

• Installations of FOUNDATION fieldbus report
  impressive benefits and significant savings
  during engineering, installation, operation, and
  maintenance.
• Users have also noted the need for more products
  and services to increase these savings and
  identified fieldbus issues that need examination.
