In the past, control systems required you to model your strategy according to the technology. With Proficy Process Systems, you are in control of how you design, implement and maintain your system.

By combining the capabilities of DCS control with the PLC-based model, Proficy Process Systems gives you without the limitations of traditional approaches.

Proficy Process Systems gives you the freedom to develop your control strategies as you see fit. Pull from our robust library of function blocks, or create your own to leverage your in-house innovations. Leverage our Open Fieldbus approach and comprehensive I/O portfolio. And utilise our leading HMI visualisation technologies to create whatever screens and displays you need.

Proficy Process Systems is completely modular. Automate one area or your entire facility. Add additional consoles, workstations or controllers. Add logic or extra data processing power -it's all scalable to meet your needs.

Today's challenges demand a new, yet proven approach to process control. With our latest applications, open instrument and I/O connectivity and open Fieldbus standards, Proficy Process Systems finally closes the gap between your automation and information assets.

Based on proven technologies that have been built as a fully integrated system, Proficy Process Systems adds up to even more than the sum of its award-winning parts.

At the heart of the system is our multi-disciplined PACSystems controllers -groundbreaking technology that allows you to jump seamlessly between process, discrete and motion control for unprecedented design flexibility.

Our powerful Proficy software provides another important differentiator. Choose from either of our leading HMI/SCADA applications, iFIX or CIMPLICITY, for unmatched visualisation and control. Our Historian solution with Change Management lets you archive, access and back up system data with incredible speed and accuracy. And with inherent connectivity to our Production Management suite, you'll have unprecedented analysis into macro level production, business and ERP-driven metrics.

Now, let's take a look at the architecture that makes this contemporary solution so unique:

• Architecture that combines the best of DCS and PLC control
  Proficy Process Systems is designed to provide the power of DCS control with the scalability and price point of a PLC-based system. From a small, one-machine architecture to a large, multi-machine infrastructure, this unique approach means you can start small and expand your system over time.
• Production Management and ERP Connectivity
  Plug into the power of Proficy Production Management software for unprecedented insight into KPI metrics; connect to ERP software to close the automation-information loop.
• Batch Execution and Analysis
  The perfect option for batch oriented processes.
• Applications
  The software that powers the system.
• Historian and Change Management
  High performance storage and retrieval of process data; version control for your audit trails and process control strategies.
• Fieldbusand I/O
  Open Fieldbus approach supports all major options; comprehensive I/O portfolio puts you in control of your connectivity and Fieldbus strategy.
• Engineering Workstation
  Design, configure and maintain your system; build robust function blocks, ladder logic or structured text in an advanced Logic Developer.
• Operator Consoles
  Monitor and control your operations with either of our two leading HMI/SCADA technologies (iFIX or COMPLICITY); Global Namespace enables console to controller communication.
• PACSystems Controllers
  RX3i and RX7i enable unequalled flexibility and speed, with a single engine to create and move programs between controllers; Control Memory Exchange drives high-speed data exchange for distributed control and reflective memory.
