【2025 Industrial Automation News】Emerson releases significant updates to the DeltaV platform

The update to Emerson’s DeltaV Version 15 Package 3 adds features focused on enhancing process control.

II. Further upgrades to the DeltaV platform: four key highlights 【1】PROFINET S2 system redundancy: enhancing system reliability. In this update, the DeltaV platform introduces PROFINET S2 system redundancy technology, which is primarily used in Ethernet-based field devices. In industrial production, the reliability of systems is crucial; any failure can lead to production disruptions and significant losses.

The addition of system redundancy in PROFINET S2 significantly improves the system’s fault tolerance during controller switching. Even in the face of sudden failures, the system can switch quickly to ensure continuous production. This upgrade provides stronger support for the company’s automation systems, making the production process more stable and reliable.

【2】Enhance operator training capabilities: Improve practical skills. Training operators has always been a major challenge for companies, especially in complex industrial environments. Emerson is well aware of this, and as part of the updates to the DeltaV platform, the DeltaV Simulate training kit has been enhanced. The new simulation feature based on the virtual machine controller provides operators with a convenient way for offline practice. Operators can practice their skills repeatedly in a safe simulation environment to become familiar with various operational scenarios.

Furthermore, the newly added “Save and Restore” snapshot feature is a real highlight. Using this feature, trainers can create multiple training scenarios with different operational states, enabling operators to better understand the impact of their decisions on the entire system. This allows them to handle various emergencies more effectively in real-world situations, thereby significantly improving their practical skills.

【3】Upgrade to version control in DeltaV Live: Tracking every change. The control and audit tracking capabilities of DeltaV Live have also been significantly enhanced in this update. An enhanced version control tool that allows users to clearly track every change made to the human-machine interface (HMI). Who adjusted the graphics and why the changes were made can be seen at a glance through these tools. Moreover, users can easily generate detailed audit reports to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of documents. This comprehensive change management system ensures that accountability is maintained while offering users a high degree of flexibility, enabling organizations to keep track of every change made to the system.

【4】New breakthroughs in software-defined automation: Preparations are being made for the future, with updates to Package 3 of DeltaV version 15 also laying the foundation for IQ controllers. The IQ controller is a software-defined, fault-tolerant controller designed for demanding process control applications. By integrating the infrastructure required for modular controllers, Emerson has met the growing demand for systems that can adapt to changing production needs. As process manufacturing relies increasingly on software to manage complex tasks, the ongoing development of DeltaV emphasizes that flexibility and scalability are key elements for achieving long-term success.
