Emerson Releases DeltaV Version 16.LTS to Support Next-Generation Industrial Automation
Mar 06, 2026
Emerson Introduces the Latest DeltaV Control System Upgrade Industrial automation continues to evolve as manufacturers seek more flexible and scalable control systems. Recently, Emerson Electric announced the release of version 16.LTS of the DeltaV Distributed Control System and its integrated Safety Instrumented System. The new version is designed to help companies move toward a more software-defined automation environment while improving system visibility and operational performance. This long-term support release combines several field-proven capabilities in a single platform. For many plants running complex process operations, maintaining reliable systems also depends on stable supply channels for DCS spare parts, Distributed Control System replacement parts, and professional DCS module supplier services that support long-term operation of control equipment.
Software-Defined Automation Expands System Flexibility With enhanced modularity and flexibility, DeltaV version 16.LTS enables efficient deployment and expansion of automation systems. This includes access to the DeltaV IQ Controller, a fault-tolerant, modular, software-defined controller deployed in a server-based environment and able to handle the most demanding process control applications. In addition, Emerson's flexible subscription model, DeltaV Flex System, provides companies with full DeltaV DCS capability that allows companies to pay for utilization over time and scale up or down quickly as market factors dictate. For many industrial operators, the ability to upgrade systems while keeping compatible industrial automation parts and maintaining effective spare parts management is essential to ensuring long-term reliability of automation infrastructure.
Next-Generation Field Connectivity Improves Data Flow DeltaV version 16.LTS also integrates intelligence via more seamless data and I/O connectivity enabled by next-generation field networks, providing increased intelligence to optimize and maintain assets and processes. Native support for PROFINET over Ethernet-APL on the DeltaV PK Controller enables high-speed connectivity to field devices in demanding environments across process and hybrid manufacturing operations. Improved connectivity helps operations teams gain clearer insights into field devices and production status. In parallel, access to dependable industrial spare parts and qualified DCS module supplier resources ensures that equipment can be maintained and replaced efficiently when necessary.
Enhanced Data Foundation for Enterprise Optimization DeltaV Continuous Historian Elite software builds on the power of Emerson’s AspenTech product portfolio to deliver an enhanced data foundation for enterprise-wide optimization. Creating seamless connectivity between the DCS and enterprise data management solutions, Continuous Historian Elite allows contextualized data to flow freely across the enterprise to power analytics and AI. These capabilities allow organizations to analyze production data more effectively and improve operational efficiency. In large facilities with complex automation networks, consistent availability of DCS spare parts and Distributed Control System replacement parts also plays a key role in maintaining continuous data collection and system performance.
Improved Visibility and Cybersecurity for Industrial Operations Enhancements to DeltaV Live continue to provide an expanded, cohesive view of operations by streaming data through the DeltaV Edge Environment to support enterprise-level decision-making and situational awareness. The new DeltaV Live Enterprise View allows secure, read-only access to displays outside of the control room, making it possible to serve control room data to enterprise-level consumers for trending and continuous improvement of operations. Enhancements also include web application integration that empowers users to bring third-party software applications—such as optimization tools—natively into the DeltaV control interface. DeltaV version 16.LTS will also maintain its International Society of Automation (ISA) System Security Assurance (SSA) Level 1 (L1) certification. ISA SSA L1 certification provides third-party assurance of secure-by-design practices that meet ISA/IEC-62443-3-3 and 4-1 requirements. For industrial companies operating complex control systems, maintaining reliable automation infrastructure requires not only advanced software platforms but also dependable industrial spare parts, efficient spare parts management, and access to trusted DCS module supplier networks.
