InFusion Engineering Environment and I/A Series configuration tools are a powerful and integrated engineering suite for designing and maintaining I/A Series control strategies and configuring the I/A Series® system. IEE is highly intuitive graphical design and engineering tool for creating reusable libraries and configuring application and control objects-providing a consistent environment and common method for implementing engineering designs.
The InFusion™ Engineering Environment offers a highly intuitive graphical design and engineering tool that facilitates the creation of reusable libraries thereby greatly enhancing both productivity and quality. This engineering suite allows for configuring application and control objects, and provides a consistent environment and common method for implementing engineering designs.
Features such as user-defined templates, object inheritance, and control strategy nesting provide a rich environment for the creation of reusable intellectual property libraries thereby promoting standardization and reducing project-specific engineering. Bulk generation of project databases, bulk edits via scripting languages and object attribute propagation where users write once and use many times, significantly reduce the labor content to specify, test and correct manual entries.
In addition, self-documentation - What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG), a Visio-based graphical rendering engine and sophisticated printing options greatly enhance the user experience and reduce the learning requirements needed to effectively maintain the system throughout its commissioned lifecycle.
Invensys Operations Management has also signed an agreement with PAS, a supplier of operations and automation effectiveness software, to provide Invensys clients a comprehensive suite of system documentation and configuration management tools and services. A back-documentation and ‘where-used’ facility for our Foxboro I/A Series®, InFusion™ and Triconex® systems is a high priority for our customers. We chose the Integrity™ Software solution because of its comprehensive scalability. Integrity allows us to provide a scope of offerings from simple system documentation to robust configuration management and full mapping of the breadth of systems installed in our customers’ plants.”
The Integrity Software solution maps the databases, programs, displays and interconnections within and among plant automation systems, including Foxboro I/A Series distributed control systems, InFusion enterprise control systems and Triconex safety instrumented systems.
With the InFusion Engineering Environment, solutions are limited only by the imagination. Reusability features optimize the engineering workflow so engineers can focus less on mundane tasks and more on improving control strategies.
