An Introduction to the Nexus Control System
Like any other digital devices, industrial control systems have evolved greatly over the past several decades. Modern control system can provide benefits beyond lifecycle concern including deeper visibility into your plant processes, enhanced predictive analytic capability, better troubleshooting, easier to configure user interfaces and seamless integration of other assets in the process. By continuing to operate with older control systems, customers expose their facilities to increased maintenance and troubleshooting costs, limited reporting and trending capability and potential incompatibilities when equipment replacements are installed.
This webinar will focus on the benefits of modernizing customer control systems and considerations for proper lifecycle managements of these assets. The presentation will begin with a short history of control systems and how they have evolved over time and then will move into the differences between modern control systems and their legacy counterparts.
We will also discuss how control systems can be implemented into a plant process to drive value beyond simply controlling the asset. We will review how these systems can provide expanded and improved analytic and trending capability, timely sequence of events tracking to see where issues may have originated and improved software packages with more intuitive user interfaces.
If plant managers, engineers, operators or others involved in investments in control systems want to understand how to improve their overall operation through modernizing their control systems, then they should attend this presentation.
