DCS Migrations: Address the Risks of a Legacy DCS
Your DCS is the “brain of your process”— reaching out into your plant to monitor and control the multitude of devices which enable you to produce quality products on time, every time. As your equipment ages, it is inevitable that questions about part sourcing, service, potential productivity losses from old technology, and increased risks of downtime become more likely. Learn how Rockwell Automation can help you modernize your control system with PlantPAx DCS.
Plant-wide Control and Optimization
The PlantPAx system uses a common automation platform for seamless integration between critical areas of your plant. This modern DCS connects process, discrete, power, information, and safety control into one plant-wide infrastructure. Benefits include common platforms, seamless information flow, ease of management, and lower total cost of ownership
