Control System Update Lays Foundation
for Software-Driven, Data-Centric
Automation Platform
Emerson has released a
new version of its DeltaV™
distributed control system
(DCS). Version 15 of the
DeltaV DCS helps plants
digitally transform operations
through improved
production optimization
and enhanced operator performance. New software designed
to reduce the burden of IT support and modernization spend
coupled with expanded analytics will help increase flexibility
and speed to market and drive operational improvements.
Market forces and public expectation are putting more
pressure than ever on manufacturers to drive improved performance
and sustainability. Meeting these goals, especially
in an era of personnel shortages, means making the most
of available data. DeltaV version 15 expands access to critical
data to provide every operator with actionable decision
support. New infrastructure makes automation easier to set
up and maintain while real-time analytics and an improved
human machine interface (HMI) help operators improve situational
awareness.
Project and operations teams rely on virtualization to reduce
the hardware and energy footprint of the automation
system while simultaneously increasing its availability. DeltaV
now supports a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI)
virtualization option that can be deployed in half the time of
a traditional virtualization setup. DeltaV HCI is easy to scale
and maintain and delivers improved performance. The HCI
platform is easily expandable and scalable, allowing users to
future-proof their investment, and is the foundation of the DeltaV
evolution into a data-centric and software-defined system.
Enhancements to DeltaV Live, a modern HTML5-based
system, built for purpose HMI, empower operators with easy
access to expert insights for more effective, efficient decisions
that drive better performance and help personnel of any skill
level. Teams can also unlock anytime, anywhere access to
digital twin simulations from across the globe with the new
software-as-a-service DeltaV Simulation Cloud, saving time
and money with subscription options and facilitating easier
collaboration among experts.
Easier, more flexible I/O integration lowers capital costs
and improves modernizations. Built-in cybersecurity remains
68
a priority, with DeltaV version 15 being ISASecure SSA Level 1
certified, providing end-to-end cybersecurity across the whole
system and at all levels.

Wideband Signal Level Control
Mini-Circuits continues to
expand their selection of
connectorized components
covering wide operating
bandwidths well into the
mmWave range to support
users' full signal chain.
With an operating frequency range from 0.1 to 50 GHz, their
new ZX76-50G-30-V+ digital step attenuator is an ideal solution
for signal conditioning and gain control in test setups and
assembled systems from 5G equipment to Satcom and Radar
through Ka-Band, and more.
The ZX76-50G-30-V+ is a 50Ω Digital Step Attenuator that
provides adjustable attenuation from 0 to 31.5 dB in 0.5 dB
steps. The control is a 6-bit parallel interface, with a single positive
supply voltage. The model is produced using a unique
unibody case package for ruggedness and operation in tough
environments.
Key Features:
◗ 0 to 31.5 dB attenuation
◗ 0.5 dB step size
◗ 6-bit parallel control interface
◗ Dual or single supply voltage
◗ Immune to latch up
