Rockwell Automation Introduces DCS Replacement Program

A new three-step migration program from Rockwell Automation helps manufacturers replace aging DCS systems with the highly flexible, multidisciplined Logix Control Platform. Responding to a market gap created by many vendors no longer supporting their systems, the program provides manufacturers with a phased approach that eliminates many of the costs, risks and complexities involved with migrating legacy DCS systems while providing a single platform for integrating both process and discrete applications.

Implementing a single control platform across all plant-floor applications provides manufacturers with a number of advantages, including reduced spare parts requirements, more synchronized processes and lower maintenance and training costs. It also improves plant-wide integration by enabling the seamless transfer of real-time data from disparate control systems for improved decision making and increased manufacturing flexibility.

The Rockwell Automation migration tools, utilities and services are specifically designed for transitioning from many leading DCS brand-name systems. “Our legacy DCS migration capabilities will continue to expand in the coming years with programs designed to convert the majority of the industry-leading legacy DCS platforms. In addition to solutions available today for Honeywell, ABB and Fisher PROVOX, upcoming solutions will accommodate Westinghouse, Moore and Yokagowa, and other DCS systems,” a company official said.
