A new state-of-the-art Fisher valve performance diagnostics laboratory and customer training centre has been established at the Emerson valve manufacturing facility in Cernay, France
Ideal for Customer Presentations
The process simulation flow loops available use PlantWeb digital plant architecture, which allows interrogation of control valves and flowmeters, plus other instrumentation, linked by open communications standards that include both HART and FOUNDATION fieldbus technology, monitored using one of the three DeltaV process automation control consoles installed on site.
The system includes the AMS ValveLink VL2000 LoopScanner software, to enable training on performance monitoring and diagnostic procedures, used to identify valve performance problems caused by wear, and to identify causes of process control variability – without removing the valves or sensors from the operating process loop. This enables Fisher technicians to demonstrate valve operability tests and loop variability calculations. Simulations show what can be done on a real plant to monitor asset performance degradation through the digital network, and to enable planning of off-line maintenance only when it is required.
This facility is provided for PlantWeb customer and plant operator training, particularly relating to intelligent instruments and diagnostics. Instrumentation connected to the demonstration control loops include temperature, pressure and differential pressure transmitters, Coriolis and vortex flowmeters, and various sizes of control valve fitted with FIELDVUE Digital Valve Controllers, so the facility is an excellent practical demonstration of most styles of process control instrumentation.
It is open for use by all European customers of Emerson Process Management who could benefit from such training, in the beautiful countryside of Eastern France, close to the industrial centres of Basle and Mulhouse. This is just one of the many Emerson Process Management training centres available across Europe, which provide standard and tailor made training courses in all aspects of valve diagnostics, maintenance and sizing, and instrumentation used on process plant.
