DeltaV Engineering Tools

New: Upload FHX file!
Generate a bitmap image of a DeltaV Procedural or Sequential Function Chart directly from an FHX file.

Batch-A develops practical engineering tools for Emerson DeltaV systems. Our tools are designed to simplify configuration analysis, comparison, documentation and other engineering activities that can otherwise require substantial manual effort.

Current applications focus on working with DeltaV FHX configuration files. Further tools are planned for DeltaV system documentation, DeltaV Live, DeltaV Operate and other areas of DeltaV engineering.

DVXtract

DVXtract analyses DeltaV FHX exports and presents the configuration in a structured tree. Individual objects or complete groups can be selected, referenced dependencies can be added automatically, and the resulting selection can be exported to a new FHX file.

Browse DeltaV configuration objects in a structured tree.
Search and select individual objects or complete groups.
Automatically include referenced dependencies.
Export selected configuration to a new FHX file.

DVCompare

DVCompare compares two DeltaV FHX exports and highlights meaningful engineering changes. It recognises configuration objects and their internal structure, helping distinguish real configuration changes from differences caused by object order, generated identifiers or changes in the physical layout of the FHX file.

Identify Added, Removed, Modified and Unchanged objects.
Compare header properties, body properties and detailed FHX content.
Recognise nested structures such as parameters, attributes, steps, transitions and graphics.
Match embedded composites using their logical Function Block names.
Export comparison results to HTML and Microsoft Excel.

More DeltaV Engineering Tools

DVCompare and DVXtract are part of a broader set of Batch-A tools being developed to support DeltaV engineering throughout the system lifecycle.

Areas of development include:

Automated documentation of DeltaV configuration.
Configuration analysis and engineering review.
DeltaV Live graphics and configuration utilities.
DeltaV Operate graphics and configuration utilities.
Batch configuration, including phases, operations and recipes.
Engineering data extraction, transformation and reporting.

The objective is to provide focused utilities that complement the standard DeltaV engineering environment and automate repetitive or time-consuming engineering tasks.

Built for DeltaV Engineers

Batch-A tools are developed specifically around DeltaV engineering workflows. The aim is not to replace the DeltaV engineering environment, but to provide additional capabilities for analysing, documenting, comparing and managing DeltaV configuration.

Wherever possible, the tools operate on exported configuration data and can be used independently of a DeltaV installation.
