RS3™ Migration Options and Tools to the DeltaV™ Process Automation System

If you are interested in modernizing your legacy RS3 control system to the DeltaV Process Automation System, then look no further than to Emerson Process Management for assistance and support (RS3 Migration Options and Tools).

As always, we at Emerson Process Management are continuing to improve our solutions and tools for simplifying the migration of legacy distributed control systems (DCS) to the DeltaV process automation system.

RS3 database extraction, display conversion, and I/O configuration are available through Emerson Process Management’s Tool Assisted Services program. These deliverables are used to provide more detailed information about your existing legacy system and further enables your migration to the DeltaV process automation system. These deliverables lend valuable insight early in the bid phase of projects as well as in the detailed engineering phase.

Some of the DeltaV hardware/software options available to migrate your RS3 DCS are;

  • Controller replacement using the M-series DeltaV Migration Controller Interface for RS3 I/O solution where only the existing RS3 I/O Flex-Terms and termination panels are left in place.

  • Flex-Term replacement using FlexConnect™ Solutions that only retains the existing RS3 termination panels (Multi-Point FIM, Serial / Analog FIC, and Contact FIC).

  • System replacement using I/O on Demand – Electronic Marshalling solutions for modernizations; 19 inch rack mount CHARMs and CIOC mounting solutions that will fit in your existing RS3 cabinet enclosures.

Find more information on modernizing your legacy RS3 system on the Emerson Process Management RS3 Systems Modernization website , and do come talk to me during the America’s Emerson Exchange 2015 event in Denver, CO (October 12th - 16th) – you’ll find me in the Solve & Support – Improve & Modernize area in the exhibit hall on Monday through Wednesday nights! Also, we’ll have experts on-hand in the following areas to assist you with your other modernization needs; early engagement, project justification, I/O wiring options, and subject matter experts in the following legacy DCS’; PROVOX, ABB, Honeywell®, various PLC’s, Novatech D/3, Siemens-Moore APACS, Yokogawa, and Schneider – Foxboro I/A Series®.

In a couple of weeks, I’ll be posting a recommended workshops and short course outline concentrating on modernization and migrations. This can be used as a guideline for selecting the sessions you want to attend. Looking forward to seeing you in Denver!
