Emerson Ovation playback recorder
Emerson’s Ovation playback recorder automatically and continuously records operational data at the same resolution as the live control system. Like a digital video recorder, it has standard functions such as play, pause, fast-forward and rewind. With the ability to visually step through logic sequences using process graphics and signal diagrams, users can view historical data through the lens of what the operator would have seen under actual plant conditions. This holistic and repeatable view of plant events can be used to speed troubleshooting, enhance training and support decision-making. Plant personnel can review actions taken during an abnormal event, such as a chemical spill or wet-weather event, to identify best mitigation responses. They can then update operating procedures to better manage similar events in the future. The recorder lets them quickly diagnose problems, minimize equipment damage and reduce maintenance. 888-637-7333; www.emerson.com.
