1. PLANNING PHASE
You can use Data compiled during

detail planning by means of Import of e.g. AutoCad drawings, Tag- and Variable Lists

2. PRIMARY INVESTMENT
(affects todays budget of the accountant)
Freelance minimizes expenditure by

employing cost effective Standard Hard- & Software: e.g. PC, MS-Windows NT
Freelance uses Standard Communication

3. INSTALLATION PHASE
Fieldbus is an integral part of Freelance

and as such reduces Cabinet- & Cabling effort

The engineering tool (DigiTool) allows

for easy, error free Implementation of Application Programs

4. COMMISSIONING PHASE
Freelance checks your application

software for errors

Freelance provides easy Test &

Simulation capabilities for offline tests at low risk.

5. OPERATION PHASE
Reduced learning curve for

operators and maintenance people Who else gets up to speed with just 3 days training?
Resource Savings and

environmental benefits by loop tuning for optimized Operation e.g. AdvaControl Loop Optimizer

6. MAINTENANCE
Freelance Hardware has rugged,

reliable design, which makes maintenance almost unnecessary. e.g. no mechanical setting elements such as potentiometer or switches which are always subject to corrosion. Powerful Diagnostics is one feature of the Asset Management capabilities. It allows for preventive maintenance and subsequently reduces expensive downtimes. e.g. The Controller based Web-server allows remote diagnostics via Internet Browser.

7. PROTECTION OF INVESTMENT
Keep up with Technology by using

standards as mentioned in item 1.

Hardware does not become obsolete:

You can use existing hardware for Future extensions. e.g. the use of Flash-EPROMS on all Freelance I/O modules allows for easy Updates and makes sure that hardware will be always compatible with future versions.
