The Use of ControlLogix
in SIL2 Applications
9:00 A.M. - 10:00 A.M.
The use and implementation of
Safety Systems in process
plants is a key topic of
discussion among Automation
and Instrumentation
professionals. High profile
accidents and the publication of
national and international
standards has fueled this
discussion. This presentation
will briefly review the terminology
and methodology used in the
implementation of Process
Safety systems as well as the
guidelines to use Rockwell
Automation’s ControlLogix
Programmable Logic Controller
in Process Safety.

Trends in Process
Control
1:00 P.M. - 2:00 P.M.
The ever increasing complexity
of operations, volatile markets,
strict regulatory compliance and
global competition impose big
challenges to Oil & Gas
companies: Reliable processes,
safety and operational flexibility
among them. A key component
helping companies meet these
challenges is Automation. This
presentation will discuss the
existing trends in Automation
and Process Control, looking at
three areas: Information,
Connectivity and Control.
Rockwell Automation
“Factory Talk”
2:00 P.M. - 3:00 P.M.
A FactoryTalk enabled solution
is a scalable information platform
that integrates plant-wide control
systems and connects the
enterprise with the production
facility. It allows people
throughout a manufacturing
enterprise to communicate,
collaborate and improve results
of their operation. It uses a new
concept based on shared
services and federated data that
allows enterprise components to

share and access information
and resources throughout the
system, eliminating integration
hassles, information silos and
functionality overlaps including
alarms and event monitoring.
RSView SE with Process
Extensions
3:00 P.M. - 4:00 P.M.
Learn about process extensions
software designed to extend the
capability of RSView SE by
adding typical process control
operator interface functionality
through the use of built in screen
navigation, faceplates and
process templates. With over
250 display elements
(Faceplates) Process Extensions
allows Operators to interact with
the system and its controller in a
standard open format.
Importance of Predictive
Maintenance
4:00 P.M. - 5:00 P.M.
This case study offers an insight
into Air Liquide unified condition-
based monitoring program for
equipment located in plants
around the U.S. Air Liquide
considers predictive
maintenance important to the
overall health of the company.

Introduction to Vibration
Basics
9:00 A.M. - 11:00 A.M.
This course is designed for the
new user of vibration analysis for
predictive maintenance or for the
individual that desires to become
more familiar with the basics of
vibration. The relationship
between the mechanical
condition of machinery and
vibration is presented. This
background helps show how
vibration detection and analysis
can be used in a cost effective
program to identify machinery
problems and schedule repairs
to avoid costly machine
downtime.
Introduction to Dynamic
Balancing
1:00 P.M. - 3:00 P.M.
Identifying and effectively
correcting balance problems are
the focus of this course. The
course begins by defining
unbalance and explaining the
benefits of properly balanced
rotating machinery. Various
methods of solving unbalance
problems including single plane
and two plane techniques are
presented. Balancing tolerances
and setting specifications for
rotor balance are also presented.
Change Management &
Security in Control
Systems
3:00 P.M. - 5:00 P.M.

such as: ACCESS
CONTROL/AUTHENTICATION/
SECURITY allows you to control
an individual’s access to PLC’s
on your plant floor. ARCHIVE
allows you to record PLC
programs anywhere in your
system and automatically
generate version control of your
programs. AUDIT tracks every
change made to your PLC
program, showing when the
change occurred, who performed
the change, and the details of
the change. VERIFICATION
allows you to develop schedules
to automatically perform PLC
program backup/recovery and
notify you of program
discrepancies.
Line Performance
Solutions / Data
Management
9:00 A.M. - 11:00 A.M.
Manufacturing and production
companies are under increasing
pressure to execute aggressive
financial plans. Large
investments are currently
deployed in enterprise type
information and operations
systems yet visibility to the floor
remains poor. Rockwell
Automation’s manufacturing
execution systems solutions help
to fill this void. In this session,
we will cover two offerings which
help producers gain
understanding of where effort is
getting wasted or execution is
falling short. We will start with a
brief overview of S95. We will
then discuss capturing data from
PLC’s on the floor and analyzing
the data. Finally, we will discuss
a solution which provides a
University of Houston Hilton – Houston, TX
dashboard of line performance
displaying OEE (Overall
Equipment Effectiveness),
downtime, scrap and yield
information on the production
line. A live demo will be included.
Rockwell Automation’s Discrete
Line Performance Solutions is
being used by manufacturing
companies to monitor operations
and drive operational
improvements. Utilizing reports
that are standard in the solution,
companies can identify causes
of lost efficiency and analyze the
results to discover opportunities
for improvement. The solution is
built on a FactoryTalk enabled
architecture, which allows the
data to be viewed in the context
of the user and be available for
Comprehensive Manufacturing
Execution Systems and
uploaded to ERP Systems.
S-88 Batching / Blending

In this technical session,
Rockwell Automation will
introduce the concepts of
applying S-88 compliant control
solutions to critical applications
where precise modular control of
temperatures, pressures and
flow rates is required to safely
blend product with consistent
quality in the most profitable
fashion. A case study, as well
as a live demo will be presented.
Work stations will be available to
get a feel for the product.
