Emerson, an industrial technology distributor delivering advanced automation solutions, has released DeltaV SaaS SCADA with Edge Connect, a flexible, preconfigured edge solution engineered to deliver more ease of operational technology (OT) data mobility out of the box. Designed to connect existing field devices to the cloud-hosted DeltaV SaaS Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system in minutes, the DeltaV SaaS SCADA with Edge Connect edge solution eliminates much of the traditional engineering work necessary to bring critical operational data into the control system for better visibility and safer, more flexible and reliable control.
“DeltaV SaaS SCADA with Edge Connect advances Emerson’s Boundless Automation vision of seamless data mobility from the intelligent field, through the edge, and into the cloud,” said Nina Golder, vice president of Emerson’s Guardian software and solutions business. “Designed with open protocols and preconfigured with the most advanced edge technology stack available, the DeltaV SaaS SCADA with Edge Connect edge solution empowers users to remotely monitor and configure their field assets, bringing visibility and operations online in minutes while still providing powerful capabilities to customize their experience.”
Built on Emerson’s PACEdge software for edge computing, the DeltaV SaaS SCADA with Edge Connect edge solution can communicate with all field devices—remote terminal units, flow computers, valves, sensors and more—in their native protocols using an Emerson-tested third-party polling engine that eliminates the need for additional conversion or adapters. PACEdge provides an IIoT application enablement platform designed to integrate information technology and OT domains without disrupting OT assets, architectures or systems.
All software necessary to connect and run the edge solution is preinstalled on the device, and additional applications can be added via a built-in marketplace. In addition, users can also build and add their own custom containerized applications with built-in Node-RED, a low-code programming platform for event-driven applications.
Built in alignment with International Society of Automation 62443 standards and the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act, the DeltaV SaaS SCADA with Edge Connect edge solution provides a secure platform for industrial operations. It also provides report by exception capabilities, allowing the device to automatically switch polling frequencies for increased communication when a new value is registered from a device in the field, helping teams maintain critical visibility without increasing bandwidth and communication costs. Data buffering features allow the DeltaV SaaS SCADA with Edge Connect edge solution to store data during communication outages and send them when communication is restored so no data is lost. Dynamic polling resolution automatically changes polling rates when events occur, helping ensure all critical data is delivered promptly.
