Distributed Control Using Foundation Fieldbus on a Hydrogen Peroxide Bleaching Process, 1998 Process Control, Electrical and Information Conference Proceedings

On June 3rd , 1997, Daishowa America started up the first production installation of FOUNDATION Fieldbus, demonstrating interoperability between multiple vendors with closed-loop control distributed in intelligent field devices. The fieldbus technology is being used to control a refiner hydrogen peroxide bleaching process in a mechanical pulping facility. The applied technology will allow brightness optimization, chemical usage reduction, and chemical tracking. This project also introduced new fieldbus technology for Daishowa and offers a path forward using new low cost standard fieldbus technology.

This paper describes FOUNDATION Fieldbus technology and how it enables distributed process control with true multivendor interoperability. Also described is the FOUNDATION Fieldbus installation at Daishowa America, including installed fieldbus technology, results of the installation, and future plans.
