A data processing system and method for use with a process control system enables a plurality of process plants associated with different business entities to share a remotely situated data processing facility. The data processing facility includes a cluster of redundant servers that are communicatively coupled via a local network. Each of the redundant servers is adapted to acquire and process data received from the plurality of process plants. The data processing facility also includes a plurality of redundant data historians that are communicatively coupled to each other and to the cluster of redundant servers for storage of process data and analysis results. Each of the plurality of process plants includes internet-enabled field devices, internet-enabled field device interfaces, and/or internet-enabled data concentration nodes that send information to and receive information from the data processing facility via the Internet.

Shared-use data processing for process control systems

A process analytic system provides communication between a process analyzer and process sample handling system. The communication allows the process analyzer to modify at least one parameter of the sample handling system to facilitate quick and efficient setup, calibration, and maintenance of the process analytic system. The process analytic system includes a sample handling system that is coupled to a process analyzer to provide a process sample to the process analyzer, and to communicate with the process analyzer. The process analyzer can command the sample handling system to modify at least one sample handling parameter. The process analyzer can modify sample handling parameters based upon sample analysis, diagnostics of the sample handling system, or both.
