DCS controllers

The PAC8000 controller is a flexible Distributed Control System (DCS) with a broad process control function block library; peer-to-peer communications between controllers; the ability to handle program and I/O changes on the fly; and redundancy. They can pass HART information from smart field devices to a computer running device asset management software.

Diagnostics can also be used directly in control applications, reducing commissioning time, process downtime and loop maintenance costs.
