Procedural Automation Best Practices and References

Hi Team,

I am looking for information about  Procedural Automation  in DeltaV. The end goal is to streamline the development, implementation and testing of sequence logic.

There’s a downloadable presentation which could  give us the information we need but I am getting an Access is Denied error when attempting to download.  Does anyone know how such resources can be accessed by end-users?

Procedural Automation For Continuous Processes - ISA 106 (#3-15075)

The automation of a process allows every start up to be the same. This eliminates potential errors and overshoots which preserves the integrity of the process and eliminates most recycle, purges, safety trips and lost production. Using procedural automation cuts average start-up time by as much as 50% or more. This is accomplished by streamlining the process and using the logic tools for automation. Automated start-up improves profitability and enhances flexibility of the process. Project ROI estimates show that the project typically pays for itself in 3 months. Examples of state logic and typicals of control modules will be illustrated. Controller loading, how to plan and best practices for state based control on a DeltaV will be discussed as well as how to avoid pitfalls.

Any other insights and references will be much appreciated.
