PlantPAx® system high availability

Scale availability needs to the locations that are most critical.

The Process Controller provides additional capabilities

Designed for process applications including process instructions, alarm objects, and automatic diagnostics.

What is improved in PlantPAx® with Process controller?

Customer Experience

  • The Process Controller is a member of the Logix family with process instructions embedded as part of the firmware.
  • It helps to make multiple deployments more consistent.
  • PlantPAx® Migration Tool supports the modernization of previous versions.

Operational performance

  • Ability to configure instructions with run-time data visualization.
  • A simple firmware upgrade provides access to new capabilities and features.
  • Single-click alarm configuration and automatic diagnostics.

Keep pace with innovation

Take rapid advantage of innovation by seamlessly integrating added value solution with a PlantPAx® system.

Data born from devices, orchestrated at the edge, and contextualized in the cloud making information available, meaningful, useful, and valuable over the enterprise to the right people in the right time.

Deliver Situational Awareness for Effective Operators

Empower operations to make better decisions.

  • Avoid information overload: too many colors, too much data, and controls.
  • Focus on operator tasks: avoid an interface that meets all user needs.
  • Use a “progressive disclosure” approach for navigation to deliver more detail as the task navigation to deliver more detail as the task requires it.
  • Assure the alarm system is effective so that alarms help the operator take the right actions – ANSI/ISA-18.2-2016

Enhances security with ISA99 and IEC62443 compliance

PlantPAx® certification demonstrates the ability of our distributed control system to be secured against casual or coincidental access by unauthenticated entities.

PlantPAx is certified to IEC 62443-3-3 SL1

PlantPAx enables a secure solution through combination of hardware, software, network infrastructure and segmentation guidance, system and security checklists to verify configurations.

PlantPAx® Analytics: an added value app on top of your system

Ability to combine multiple data sources into a single enterprise platform accessible from any geographical location.

The Power of Analytics

Digital dashboards and reports that combine multiple data and provide contextualized information to generate additional insights:

  • Alarm and events
  • Device health and statistics
  • System and operational log activities
  • Multi-site data sources

Power and Process integration with PlantPAx®

A system approach to reduces risk, provides a unique experience across the plant and easier access to information.

What value does PlantPAx® bring through its capabilities for power integration?

Unique Experience

  • A single distributed control system to the integration of process and electrical power monitoring and control.
  • PlantPAx® has an electrical protection devices standard objects library that monitors and controls those devices regardless of manufacturer.
  • The power library provides pre-configured objects to control and manage intelligent devices like drives, soft starters, relays, and more.

Operational Outcomes

  • It eliminates the need for separate systems for process and power, resulting in a unified environment, consistent engineering and unified visualization.
  • This integration aims to improve operational efficiency, safety, and reliability.

Proactive approach to lifecycle management

System ID is a unique identifier for your PlantPAx® system that tracks the assets for a better customer experience.

What does PlantPAx’s lifecycle management do for you?

The Power of Analytics

  • Enables digital dashboards of lifecycle support and actionable insights.
  • Detailed report of the parts with obsolescence risk analysis.
  • Notifications and automatic analysis of impact when a Product Service Advisory PSA is issued.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

  • Enables rapid deployment, configuration and management of a PlantPAx® system.
  • Recommended spares and insufficient quantity of spares.
  • Compare and detect changes in deployed plant floor devices.
  • Audit user actions: Who did what, when, and where.
