Migration product comes to the rescue of outdated automation systems
In response, Emerson Process Management has developed new connection, control and display migration products that permit rapid conversion from older generation automation systems to new PlantWeb digital plant architecture.
Emerson’s migration products for field connection, control, and operator interface, combined with its simulation and training services, help minimize process downtime for transition. Pre-engineered field connection products reduce costs as much as 50 percent compared with rewiring costs, and process downtime can be reduced by 75 percent, according to Emerson. Pre-defined drag and drop displays such as pumps, valves and motors help build new displays, or services and conversion tools are available to convert existing graphics. Off-line simulation enables configuration checkout and operator training prior to connecting new digital plant architecture.
