Process Control Platform for Power and Water Apps

GE Intelligent Platforms has released Proficy Process System 2.0, a flexible process control platform that is suited for power, water and oil and gas applications. The system is designed to help lower customers' total cost of ownership by reducing the costs associated with designing, commissioning, operating and maintaining their process operations. Applications include main steam cycle, municipal water treatment and well-to-tank control.

Proficy Process Systems 2.0 simplifies the design and maintenance of a system with features that enable users to capture, standardise and easily maintain their control strategies. With the introduction of user-defined control module capabilities, customers will be able to create reusable process control solutions. Integration of Proficy Ifix with the PAC8000 controllers is another feature of this release, allowing users the freedom to choose the HMI and controller technologies they want to use in their systems.

'With organic developments, along with acquisitions, we have positioned ourselves to provide contemporary solutions for not only power and energy, oil and gas, and water, but also mining and metals, food and beverage, chemicals and cement industries around the world,' said Steve Ryan, general manager, process and safety solutions. 'One of the key differentiators we provide our customers is a system with a flexible architecture that is easy to use and user expandable,' said Kam Yuen, Proficy process product manager.

'In Proficy Process Systems Version 2.0, users have the ability to add their own function blocks and faceplates, in addition to the extensive list provided with the system,' he said. 'This allows system integrators, OEMs and end users to create reusable blocks and graphics specific to their own process applications that will accelerate their engineering process and reduce commissioning and training overhead,' Yuen added.
