Modernization from Legacy DCS to PlantPAx 5.0

PB 25 Rockwell newlogo 400

September 1, 2020

In today’s dynamic production environments, companies are constrained by limited capabilities of their legacy DCS and their ability to support these legacy systems. This session explores the barriers and benefits of modernization, valuable methodologies, execution practices, and tools that assist in planning, budgeting and replacing legacy DCS systems.

We will explore how different outcomes gained during a modernization will enable your digitization, optimization and analytic strategies of the operation. These additional benefits can help reduce the risk during the project and ongoing production while accelerating the ROI.

Top 3 Industry Drivers:
•    Your legacy DCS is currently hindering productivity and quality
•    Your management requires better access to information from across your plant
•    You are spending significant money on custom integration

Key Takeaways:

Rockwell Automation migration solutions help you incorporate newer technologies at a phased pace that is comfortable for you.
•    Minimize downtime
•    Maximize Operational Success
•    Lessen the risk of maintaining legacy equipment

Adding Smart Condition Monitoring Sensors to Your PLC Control Systems Delivers Data in Real Time

Condition monitoring of critical components on machines delivers enormous benefits to productivity in a plant.  Rather than have a motor, pump, or compressor unexpectedly fail and the machine be inoperable until a replacement part is installed, condition monitoring of those critical pieces on the machine can provide warning signs that something is about to go terribly wrong. Vibration measurements on rotating equipment can detect when there is imbalance or degrade on rolling bearing elements.
