DVXtract

DVXtract is a Windows utility for analysing Emerson DeltaV FHX export files. It provides a structured view of the objects in an FHX file and allows selected objects and their dependencies to be extracted into a new FHX file.

Key Features

  • Analyse DeltaV FHX export files without modifying the source file.
  • Browse FHX objects in a structured tree view.
  • Display recognised DeltaV object types using familiar names.
  • Select individual objects or complete object groups.
  • Search for objects using text and wildcard expressions.
  • Automatically select referenced dependencies, including Function Block Definitions, Module Classes, Phase Classes and Recipes.
  • Export selected objects to a new FHX file.
  • Operate completely offline.

Designed for DeltaV Engineering

Large DeltaV FHX exports can contain thousands of objects. Finding and extracting a particular set of modules, classes, recipes or other configuration objects manually can be time-consuming and error-prone.

DVXtract simplifies this process by presenting the objects in a structured tree. Objects can be selected directly or found using wildcard searches. Referenced objects can then be added automatically before the selection is exported to a new FHX file.
