The PlantPAx® system helps producers make better, faster process control decisions. This system enables you to respond more quickly to the demands of your customers and fast-changing specifications. The latest system release has been designed to be an integral part of your digital transformation strategy that helps you be more productive and profitable while reducing operational risk.

Rethink what a modern distributed control system (DCS) can do for you.

Producers like you are adept at navigating the complexities and challenges of staying competitive. This is true in a variety of industries ranging from pharmaceuticals, consumer packaged goods, and food and beverage to mining and chemical. That’s why it’s so important to implement the latest technological advancements to continue your ever-evolving digital transformation journey.

From the control room to the board room, process system users face the persistent challenges of balancing productivity against budget and resource constraints as well as proactively addressing evolving operational risks. Meet these challenges and experience real productivity gains in all areas of your plant with the PlantPAx distributed control system (DCS).

System features positively impact the lifecycle of your plant operations by ensuring that plant-wide and scalable systems drive productivity, improve profitability, and reduce overall risks for operations.

The latest system release introduces:

• Reduced Footprint: New process controllers extend the Logix family capabilities with cutting-edge processing power and capacity to reduce the complexity of PlantPAx architectures. This footprint reduction also reduces total cost of ownership of the system throughout the lifecycle.
• Drives Consistency: With native process instructions embedded in the controllers, project teams can adopt approaches to control strategies that drive consistency for individual projects or multi-site deployments.
• Streamlined Workflows: Development teams will realize savings in the configuration of instrumentations, alarms, and diagnostic system elements. Operators will have the extended ability to view underlying control logic in a safe and secured manner.
• TUV-Certified for Cybersecurity: To help mitigate risk, PlantPAx 5.0 system architectures are TUV certified to the international standard ISA-99/IEC 62443-3-3 which provides guidance on the implementation of an electronically secured system.
• Analytics Enabled: The PlantPAx 5.0 release has purpose-built frameworks that easily connect live and historical data from the DCS into reporting and analytical tools. This allows extended experiences, such as Augmented Reality, and easy integration with scalable analytics packages.
