The Foxboro EvoTM
Process Automation System
Addressing the needs across your operation today and tomorrow.
Confidential Property of Schneider Electric 2

Industry trends that impact you:
Plants are larger, more
complex
• Increased
monitoring load
• Lack of
understanding
Increased levels of
automation
• Operators become
disengaged
• Role is reduced to
dealing with
upsets
Centralized
Operations
• Loss of direct
awareness

What are some of your top priorities?
Avoid frequent plant upsets that
affect production & safety
Reduce brain drain & chance of
operator error
Keep production on target

How can we help address these issues?
- Heighten operator alertness
- Improve operator response to
unusual process behavior
- Provide a consistent operator
experience
- Assist with knowledge capture
and training
- Provide better context to operator

What is the business impact?
Unexpected events cost 3-8% capacity = $10bn a year
I need to detect abnormal
situations before alarms occur

What’s new in Foxboro Evo

Foxboro Evo Control HMI
Putting the ‘human’ back in HMI
> Standard Situational Awareness Library
- Support advanced object functionality without
adding graphical support blocks to a CP
- Leverages Human Factors expertise and critical
design value to our standard toolset
- Removes the additional design effort from the
project implementation cycle - minimizing risk and
cost, while maximizing value
Kick the tires! See Live Demo in Trailer

Standard Situational Awareness Library provides:
Color reserved for
alarms
Process lines
muted
Devices & status
indicators in grey
& white
Non-control
essential items
removed from HMI
Analogue
indicators
Triple coding of
alarms

Smarter symbols = easier management
> Symbol management has never been more powerful
- Same Symbol can be used for Horizontal and Vertical
orientation
- Flow, Temperature, Pressure, Level, etc
- Easier, faster object and pattern recognition

Design easily to your preference
> Galaxy Style conventions
- Graphic Properties can be tied to “Element Styles”
- Each Styles can affect:
- Text
- Fill
- Line
- Outline
- Example: Each Alarm Priority has an associated
style. Changing the Alarm Style will affect all
graphics tied to the alarm style.

Shifting the focus of what an HMI can offer:
Business
Context
Technology
& Specs
Vector-based graphics
256k color palette
How many “near miss”
operational incidents do you
have?
Do you see a high degree of
operational variability
between shifts?

HMI Design Process – Mapping
- Provides organized views of plant operation and
performance at multiple levels – operator can “drill
down” to desired amount of detail
- Customized overview graphics connect the
operator to the overall process goals
- Reveal the relationships between high-level goals
and detailed process operational states
