GE (NYSE:GE) Fanuc Intelligent Platforms has announced that it has released Proficy‚® Process Systems in a new 250 I/O size, single-computer offering targeted at smaller applications and OEMs. Proficy Process Systems is a fully-integrated process control system that will provide customers with improved quality and reliability, increased throughput, performance and efficiency, and reduced total cost of ownership.
The foundation of Proficy Process Systems is contemporary hardware and software infrastructure that offers the benefits of both traditional DCS and PLC/HMI systems, without many of the historic limitations of those approaches. GE Fanuc‚’s multi-disciplined PACSystems controllers can handle process, discrete, and motion control applications giving users unparalleled flexibility in their control system.
Proficy Process Systems is also packed with powerful control features including a comprehensive set of function blocks for advanced regulatory control. In addition, user defined function blocks can be created for the freedom and flexibility to define control algorithms as necessary, and system integrators can lock these blocks to protect their intellectual property.
Customers can also choose the fieldbus technologies they need for their applications because Proficy Process Systems provides an open fieldbus approach by supporting Foundation Fieldbus, Profibus DP and PA, HART, and Ethernet.
