Emerson Process Management has released the DeltaV Virtual Studio v2.3, which expands the virtualisation capabilities in the DeltaV distributed control system (DCS) for easy implementation and management of online production and offline development, test and training systems.

Designed specifically for process control systems, with a workflow and feature set that is familiar to automation engineers, the studio’s prebuilt virtual machine templates enable easy virtual machine creation without software installation. Every virtual machine created comes with all standard DeltaV system operating settings and network connections predefined to ensure consistent, error-free configuration and implementation.

The release also includes enhanced high availability and disaster recovery options. Various architecture and hardware solutions let facility managers pick the level of availability their system needs in response to any disruptive event. Also added is the ability to live migrate critical applications from affected hardware to minimise downtime during system maintenance or hardware upgrades.
