Fieldbus technology has completed beta plant testing at Monsanto Co.`s Chocolate Bayou petrochemical complex at Alvin, Texas. The trial took place in a steam condensate recovery section of the Chocolate Bayou plant, which produces acrylonitrile, linear alkylbenzene, and a number of other petrochemical derivatives. Fieldbus is a plant communications network, or bus, that enables digital instruments to communicate with one another and with supervisory control systems. The fieldbus specification, written by the nonprofit organization Fieldbus Foundation, Austin, Texas, is called Foundation fieldbus. The beta tests at Chocolate Bayou successfully demonstrated fieldbus performance in a process control application.
