Global leaders to exchange technology that will extend interoperability and end-user benefits

这两家全球领导者的技术交换将扩大互用性和终端用户利益

AUSTIN, TEXAS (July 11, 2006) -- Emerson Process Management and Siemens Automation and Drives (A&D) announced today their expansion of system interfaces to enable both companies to expand support of global fieldbus standards. The companies will exchange technology and engineering support to add the interfaces that extend their systems and software to offer customers expanded global interoperability and greater functionality. First products are expected to be available mid-2007.The cooperation grew out of the work both companies have done with user-supplier consortiums to deliver fully open and interoperable field instrumentation and electric drives using the newly enhanced global standard Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL).

德州奥克斯7月11日消息——爱默生过程管理和西门子自动化和驱动(A&D)今天宣布扩充系统接口，使得这两家公司支持更多的全球现场总线标准。两家公司将进行接口扩充相关的技术交流和工程支持，扩展他们的系统和软件，为客户提供更大的全球互用性和更强大的功能。首批产品预计将于2007年中面市。该合作源于两家公司与用户供应商联盟所完成的工作，运用增强的最新全球标准的电子设备描述语言(EDDL)开发完全开放的，可互用的现场仪器和电动驱动。

Siemens will add interfaces to the company's Simatic PCS 7 process control system and its Process Device Manager (PDM) tool to support FOUNDATION fieldbus standards, in addition to the Profibus and HART standards they support today. This will enable Siemens to connect to the extensive array of FOUNDATION fieldbus instruments and valve controllers from Emerson, as well as devices from other companies who support FOUNDATION fieldbus.

西门子将增加其Simatic PCS 7过程控制系统接口以及其过程设备管理器(PDM)工具，以支持现时他们支持的Profibus和HART标准以外的基金会现场总线标准。这将使得西门子的系统可以连接更多类型的艾默生基金会现场总线仪器和阀门控制器以及其它支持基金会现场总线公司的设备。

Emerson will similarly expand its DeltaV and Ovation control systems, as well as the company's AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager application, with an interface for Profibus DP and Profinet standards, in addition to the FOUNDATION fieldbus and HART standards they support today. This will enable Emerson to connect to the extensive array of drives, motor starters, and other discrete devices from Siemens, as well as devices from other companies who support Profibus DP and Profinet.

艾默生也将同样扩展其DeltaV和 Ovation控制系统以及AMS 套件：智能设备管理器应用软件以支持除目前他们支持的基金会现场总线标准和HART 标准以外的Profibus DP和Profinet标准。这使得艾默生将可以连接更多种类的西门子驱动设备、电动机启动器、其它离散设备以及其它公司生产的支持Profibus DP 和 Profinet标准的设备。

”FOUNDATION fieldbus is the established global standard in process automation,” commented John Berra, president of Emerson Process Management. “In manufacturing automation, especially in electric drives, Profibus DP and Profinet are the established standards. Addition of new fieldbus interfaces will enable Emerson to use enhanced EDDL to easily connect the rich functionality of Siemens drives to our AMS Device Manager and our automation systems. Extending the value of our asset management applications to more plant assets in this way is just one example of the benefit to customers of global standards.”

艾默生过程管理总裁John Berra评论道：“基金会现场总线是过程控制领域公认的全球标准，而Profibus DP 和Profinet则是制造控制领域尤其是电气驱动设备中公认的标准。艾默生通过增加新的现场总线接口可以运用EDDL轻松地将具有丰富功能的西门子驱动设备与我们的AMS设备管理器系统和自动化系统连接。通过这种方式就可以将我们的设备管理应用软件系统运用到更多的工厂设备，这是全球标准给用户带来利益的一个例子。”

According to Anton S. Huber, member of the board at Siemens A&D, further harmonization of field device integration will prove advantages particularly in heterogeneous system landscapes: “FOUNDATION fieldbus, HART and Profibus have become the communication standards worldwide. Users can choose from a variety of process instruments that have the interfaces to suit the control system concerned. The potential for improving plant efficiency lies, however, in further integration by the uniform EDDL communication technology and the respective software tools. We strongly support such activities.”

据西门子自动化与驱动 (A&D) 董事会成员Anton S. Huber表示现场设备集成的进一步一体化将带来更多的好处，尤其是在不同种类的系统：“基金会现场总线，HART 和Profibus已经成为了全球通讯标准。用户可以从多种过程仪器中选择适合其控制系统接口的仪器。然而，提高工厂生产效率的潜力就取决于如何进一步将统一的EDDL通讯技术与各自的软件工具集成。我们强烈支持此类工作的开展。 ”

Emerson and Siemens will also use in their host systems the pending OPC UA （OLE for Process Control Unified Architecture）standard from the OPC Foundation. The combination of EDDL and OPC UA for data exchange is recommended by the Fieldbus Foundation, HART Communication Foundation and PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation. The advantage of this technology is the consistent use of EDDL for data description and presentation to the user interface. EDDL is also used to describe the information exchange between any OPC server and OPC client applications, thereby attaining a major degree of independence from operating systems and their variants. Both companies will actively support development of the necessary OPC UA specifications and the enhancements of EDDL.

艾默生和西门子将在其主系统中采用OPC基金会新推出的OPC UA（用于过程控制统一架构的OLE）标准。将EDDL 与OPC UA相结合用于数据交换是现场总线基金会，HART通讯基金会及PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation 总线技术协会推荐采用的方式。该项技术的优点在于将EDDL连续应用于数据描述及传递数据到用户接口。EDDL还用于描述任何OPC服务器和OPC客户应用程序的信息交换，从而实现了操作系统及其变量的相对独立。艾默生和西门子都将大力支持开发必要的OPC UA规范及EDDL的进一步改进。
