Rockwell provides a PlantPAx selection guide that assists with selecting the system architecture and components.Įven though this blog series will be focusing on actual programming methods I think it’s important to understand the key elements that make up a PlantPAx system. In order to be a true PlantPax system there are certain design criteria that must be followed to guarantee performance. This allows for the use of other off-the-shelf products to easily integrate into the system and the ability to share real-time data right up to the enterprise level. Unlike most DCS systems PlantPAx uses open communication standards by utilizing Ethernet/IP. The system is designed to be scale-able and modular, utilizing a range of different architectures depending on your needs. Programming with PlantPAx - Program Structure & Controller Configuration PlantPAx is a plant wide control system that utilizes a common automation platform to seamlessly integrate both process and discrete control as well as plant wide information.
For those of you that are new to PlantPAx I’d like to give a brief overview of the system and explain some of the features that truly make it a modern day DCS.
