Phased Migration for the μXL

Phased migration for the μXL is a two-step upgrade method on a component basis, which reduces the required investment and manpower, and shortens the upgrade period.

Step1 : Upgrading of HMI

Upgrading of HMI brings in the latest HMI environment and network capability, surely one of the most important issues.

Step2 : Upgrading of the control units

Using existing field wiring, the latest I/Os are provided with full compatibility of functions, interface and cabinet layout.

Phased Migration of Centum V, Centum XL

Phased migration for the CENTUM V, CENTUM-XL is a three-step upgrade method on a component basis, which reduces the required investment and manpower, and shortens the upgrade period.

Step 1 : Upgrading of HMI

Upgrading of HMI brings in the latest HMI environment and network capability, surely one of the most important issues.

Step 2 : Upgrading of CPU of FCS

By utilizing the existing field wiring and I/O cards, the latest control functions are provided, while greatly improving performance and application capacity.
Step 3 : Upgrading of I/Os

Using existing field wiring, the latest I/Os are provided with full compatibility of functions, interface and cabinet layout.

Why Migration of DCS Systems ?

To generate the maximum return with the minimum investment, it is required to migrate the legacy CENTUM V, CENTUM-XL and μXL DCS systems into the new production plant control systems with the latest technology so as to take part in the competition of the 21st century.

The network functionality of legacy systems is not sufficient for 21st-century control systems. Adding network capability to these system produces the following benefits
-By linking to supervisory information system, dynamic adjustment of operations to meet market demands
-Productivity improvement by linking to Advanced Process Control (APC)
-Improvement of operational efficiency by linking to Advanced Operation Assistance (AOA)
