In the field of industrial automation, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), as core control devices, are increasingly facing challenges in the performance and reliability of the entire system. With the continuous advancement of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing, manufacturers are placing higher demands on device connectivity, data exchange, and intelligent collaboration. In this context, the ...
The Foxboro™ DCS Electric Power Controller (EDC6000) represents a major breakthrough in industrial automation, achieving seamless integration between process control and electrical systems. As a core component of the EcoStruxure Power and Process Control System 2.0, the EDC6000 completely breaks down the barriers between the previously independent operation of process control and electrical power ...
In the process industry, Distributed Control Systems (DCS) are the "central nervous system" ensuring the safe and economical operation of factories. Traditionally, their reliability has been achieved primarily through hardware redundancy, regular maintenance, and strict management. However, with the deepening of digital transformation, reliability faces new challenges: cyberattacks, data silos, an...
In the world of industrial automation, true transformation begins at the core. While collaborative robots (cobs) capture attention with their dexterous movements, it is the intelligence within — the processor module — that orchestrates their role in reshaping industries. This critical component, built upon decades of DCS (Distributed Control System) engineering philosophy, does far more than execu...
Seizing the Opportunities of DCS Modernization: The Key Role of Communication Bridging Technology As a large number of Distributed Control Systems (DCS) in process industries face technological obsolescence, the need for modernization is becoming increasingly urgent for enterprises. While traditional DCS systems from brands like Honeywell have maintained stable performance for many years, their ag...
