Bailey - Help your plant operators become familiar with a new system

See how SIMATIC PCS 7 can help your plant operators retain the consistent look and feel of your current system, thus minimizing the impact of change on them. A simple process control system with pre-defined faceplates and graphic symbols can enhance operator confidence, so you can modernize your plant without having to retrain your plant operators.

Honeywell - Modernize without modifying

Read how operators can be trained to practice with the graphics and batch manager software before startup. With SIMATIC PCS 7, your SIMATIC simulation software can make use of the existing controller configuration to generate the simulation program without modifying your actual system configuration.

TI 505 - Implement a staged migration for product quality

Minimize interruptions to your existing operations and establish a clear path for other improvements by implementing a staged migration to Siemens PCS 7 DCS. If your existing control system operates with different versions of software and hardware, you can implement a new control system by bringing the existing system to a common stage in order to proceed with the migration. This strategy can minimize the risk of disrupting plant production during installation.

Taking steps to secure your legacy process sontrol system

Are you serious about cyber security? Have you taken measures to protect your process from deliberate or even inadvertent damage or harm? If not, why not?
 
Greenfield installations today have the luxury of designing and building protection directly into their infrastructures and systems. Existing brownfield operations, however, are another story. Many companies have taken no action, thinking such modifications for legacy systems are too difficult to implement, or too costly, or even unnecessary. If you are one of them, think again. Control Engineering, DuPont, and Siemens Energy & Automation invite you to learn more on securing your legacy process control system. Listen to the live webcast now.
