DeltaV Live provides a world-class operations experience, designed for today’s high-performance operator requirements. The highly customizable Human Machine Interface (HMI) is the first DCS HMI to natively support HTML5 – laying the foundation for universal, cross-platform graphics that are easy to design and configure. The engineering environment in Graphics Studio simplifies configuration, increasing productivity and removing reliance on scripting for common tasks. Experience single-click access to graphics, built-in hierarchical navigation, layouts, directories, and other applications.
Built-in tools that incorporate industry standards and best practices to enhance situational awareness
HTML5 graphics set the foundation for platform independence for displays
Configuration is intuitive and built for the entire graphics lifecycle
Hear how Covestro, Baytown, led the charge in transitioning their HMI from DeltaV Operate to DeltaV Live. Starting with a pilot unit, the team modernized graphics, improved operator experience with customizable themes, and built a scalable library of high-performance objects. This resulted in faster configuration, cleaner visuals, and growing adoption across 19 DeltaV systems.
Designed for today and tomorrow’s high-performance operator requirements, DeltaV™ Live Operator Interface provides a world-class user experience.
Easy Drag and Drop Layouts eliminates the complexity of configuring workstation physical layouts, ranging from a single monitor to a quad monitor layout. Saving users time by visually seeing how the workstation is coming together and eliminating any dependencies on scripting.
Easy Class-based GEMs provide powerful tools to users to handle reusable components across their graphics. Changes to the class are immediately reflected in all GEMs in all displays the class is used, saving enormous amounts of time.
Live Snippets redefine the concept of faceplates, as the operators have much more control over the environment they work on, and engineers don’t have to develop predefined graphics for every operation.
With Out-of-the-box Coordinated Display Navigation, operators benefit from increased efficiencies in their daily activities by letting the interface take actions that otherwise would require them to take.
Presenting line intersections is a very common task in graphics design and it can be time consuming to draw multiple separate lines and then align them correctly. Smart line intersections save configuration time and allow for later changes to be easily implemented as the lines break automatically.

Case Study
"With DeltaV Live, we achieved a more manageable design with less runtime code and improved usability. The project delivered a custom, standardized GEM library that we can use across other business units. Long-term, we now have a maintainable solution, a head start on migration, and improved operator efficiency through effective L2 displays."
– Benji Kidmose, Automation Lead, Canadian Natural Resources
Case Study
"The DeltaV Live system is user friendly and provides a lot of information without flooding the graphics. We now have 6 DeltaV Live systems across 5 locations."
– Francisco Medin, Process Control Associate, BASF
Case Study
"With DeltaV Live, the Human Centered Design (HCD) and high-performance overview increase operational awareness and efficiency. The display sets provide quicker navigation, alarm rollups make troubleshooting more efficient, themes allow us to customize our control room environment, and the zoom functionality is especially helpful for operators with poor vision."
– Eric Schulz, Engineering Manager, Synthomer
Advanced Operator Displays
A well-designed operator interface is essential for effective plant control, enhancing situational awareness and enabling faster, high-quality decision making. Leading indicators paired with high-performance objects capture operators’ attention and paints a picture of the situation well before reaching alarm setpoints. Task-oriented and overview displays provide the necessary context for operators to confidently manage normal operations, start-ups, shutdowns and unexpected events.
DeltaV Live was built with Human Centered Design principles from the beginning, incorporating Center for Operator Performance consortium best practices and industry standards, such as built-in display hierarchies and hierarchical navigation delivering visibility of alarm in context with the ability to quickly navigate and respond. Operators can augment their environment on the fly, reducing the dependency on pre-engineered solutions, allowing them to more easily and intuitively monitor and control their plants.
