Rethink what you should expect from your distributed control system

Today, process industry professionals face difficult challenges. How can we adhere to increasingly tighter compliance requirements while competing for market share in today’s globalised economy? How can we meet the continuous demand for new sources of productivity and margin growth while using the same automation approach and control system strategy we have been using for decades?

A modern Distributed Control System (DCS) is designed to help you address these challenges.

Integration of the DCS with the automation systems used in the balance of plant is often costly and engineering intensive. 

Maintaining multiple disparate automation systems is straining operations and support resources, restricting flexibility and responsiveness.

What is needed is a modern approach--one that delivers all of the core capabilities of a DCS to address the requirements of process control, but is built on contemporary technology that easily integrates with other automation systems, operators’ activities, and critical business systems. A modern DCS is built using plant-wide control technologies. Today, process control, discrete control, power control and safety control no longer have to be a choice of separate technologies. Today, manufacturers can choose to implement a plant-wide control system.
