When legacy control systems are replaced with new technology there is a great opportunity to benefit from modern systems and advanced technology.
Updating a legacy system with new software is a valid option, but it leaves the advantages of new technology on the table. A control system upgrade should be a time to modernize and streamline to get the most value out of the investment.
Distributed control systems (DCSs), programmable logic controller (PLC), and human-machine interface (HMI) -based control systems have been around for a few decades. What was once cutting-edge technology has now been adapted for today’s mobile and information-centric world. Software development practices like object-oriented programming have been integrated into many platforms, and the opportunity for integration into systems outside of the plant floor are almost too numerous to mention. There are many advantages available by upgrading a process control system.
