in our process plant one of the vendor is willing to supply foundation fieldbus system for indicating process signals (explaining various benefits of ff system etc.). these signals are not very important but required by operator for continuous plant operation. solution being suggested by the vendor is OK and beneficial for us as far as field side is concerned (megablock, surge suppressor, power conditioner etc.). however,we are looking for a less expensive solution to configure the system and display process values at HMI of existing control system, which is not state of art system (about 15 yrs old, but having standard features for external connectivity as existing at that time). FF vendor is offering its own HMI system and we do not want to invest in additional HMI. can i get valuable suggestions from experienced users, regarding how to achieve this.
thanks in advance.
