 NOA – Core Process Control
Core Task
Central M+O
 Execute control functions from sensors to actors under
Core
consideration of increasing logic depth
Plant Process
Control
 Execute sequential and batch functionalities
Specific
M+O  Collect information from all in-line sensors
 Provide efficiently aggregated HMI for plant operators

Technology aspects to be addressed in future

 Interface to access device information in DCS
(e.g. OPC UA )
 Drive development of IP based fieldbus technologies
 Develop verification block to securely process outside
demands from monitoring and optimization

Real time communication for safe and reliable plant operations

NOA – Monitoring and Optimization (M+O)

Core Task
Central M+O
Plant  Execute monitoring and optimization functionalities with direct
Specific Core plant relation, for example resource dispatching or advanced
M+O Process
Control
process control
 Collect data from add-on sensors as enabler for additional
services e.g. Advanced Analytics
 Generate and communicate command requests from monitoring
and optimization to core process control
 Provide basis for agile adoption of innovative solutions e.g. Value
Chain Simulator or Reliability Center

Functionalities and services to be developed

 Open application platform to enable the use of best-in class
applications
 Platform independent interface to process control domain

Baseline for the agile development of innovative applications

NOA – Guiding Principles and Key Requirements

• No compromise on plant safety and plant availability

• Open interface between „Process Control“ and

„Monitoring & Optimization“

• Approach needs to fit for new and existing production plants

• Agile implementation based on existing standards

• Automation Security must be an integral design aspect

(Security by Design)

• Usability, reduction of complexity and economic efficiency are the

main success factors
