The DCS Vendor interfaces allow you to share data between Smart Instrumentation and the appropriate DCS vendor software at the component/card level. If, for example, you design a loop that needs to be controlled by a DCS system, you need to connect the loop wiring to I/O cards in the DCS for the vendor that you specify. Smart Instrumentation supports the following DCS vendors:

DCS Product Name

Vendor

Available Activities

DeltaV

Emerson

Bidirectional publish and retrieve

Yokogawa - CENTUM CS 3000

Yokogawa

Retrieve definitions only

Honeywell

Honeywell

Retrieve I/O card catalog definitions only

  • All DCS vendors support both conventional and Foundation Fieldbus instruments. In addition, DeltaV supports HART, CHARM, and S-Series instruments.

  • You can specify only one DCS vendor per domain.

  • A number of shipped rules apply to Smart Instrumentation items when used for specific DCS vendors. You can view these rules in the Rule Manager under Interfaces.

In an integrated environment, after retrieving DCS vendor data, under certain circumstances the software can create two identical CS tags, this occurs when you have selected the Create CS Tags Automatically check box in the Instrument Profile. After retrieving the DCS vendor data, in the To Do List you will see the Create tasks for the CS tag and the instrument. Running these tasks creates the CS Tag and the instrument but because the Instrument Profile has the Create CS Tags Automatically check box selected, an identical CS tag is also created and is visible in the Domain Explorer. To stop this from happening you must clear the Create CS Tags Automatically check box before running the Create tasks.
