New Product Roundup: Emerson DeltaV and SolaHD
Key highlights:
- Emerson updated two of its tools: the DeltaV Automation Platform with version 16.LTS and its S4KD industrial online uninterruptible power supply series.
- The DeltaV upgrades aim to reduce automation costs while enhancing data visibility and cybersecurity.
- S4KD improvements protect equipment in harsh industrial environments without sacrificing performance.
Editor’s note: Smart Industry New Product Roundups are a new feature that offers occasional digests of new products recently brought to market.
Emerson DeltaV
Emerson’s DeltaV Automation Platform version 16.LTS (long-term support) gains software-defined capabilities that reduce automation costs, enhance operational intelligence, improve data visibility and strengthen cybersecurity.
Version 16.LTS provides access to the DeltaV IQ Controllerdeployed in a server-based environment. Emerson’s flexible subscription model, DeltaV Flex System, provides the full DeltaV distributed control system capability in a way that allows companies to pay for use over time and scale up or down quickly as market factors dictate.

This update includes native support for Profinet over Ethernet-APL on the DeltaV PK Controller to enable high-speed connectivity to field devices across process and hybrid manufacturing operations.
Enhancements in this version include:
Secure, read-only access to displays outside of the control room, allowing easy sharing of process data to stakeholders or consumers for trending information and continuous improvement efforts.
Web application integration that allows users to bring third-party software applications—such as optimization tools—natively into the DeltaV control interface.
Emerson SolaHD
SolaHD S4KD industrial online uninterruptible power supply (UPS) series enhancements protect critical equipment in harsh industrial environments.
The upgraded 6kVA and 10kVA online double conversion UPS series feature full-steel construction, factory-installed network communications and power management capabilities.
The reinforced full-steel enclosure and front bezel support demanding industrial applications while maintaining double conversion topology with unity power factor (1.0). The design maximizes connected load capacity with a minimal footprint.
It also has continuous power conditioning with an input power factor greater than 0.99 and configurable 208/120V or 240/120V output options. Standard maintenance bypass capability on all 6kVA and 10kVA models ensures safe servicing without disrupting connected loads.
Other features include more advanced control of batteries and power; continuous power conditioning; Energy Star 2.0 certification; and engineering for the full spectrum of industrial and commercial applications.
