  • Mitigating Project Risks through Front-End Loading for Control System Migrations

    This is the second installment in a series on industrial control system migrations: Front End Loading Two strategies for a control system migration would typically be to either “rip and replace”- that is Is it sufficient to guide the migration of the existing controller logic to the new controller? Conclusion Achieving the desired objectives in a control system migration requires a holistic, principled Strategic decision-making and meticulous planning are key to any control system migration, upgrade, or

  • Cost Justification for Control System Replacement Projects

    You’ve been assigned a project to replace your plant’s control system. This is the initial installment in a series on control system migrations starting with the most common For a control system this could be “per I/O point” or “per tag." method for justifying a new control system. Building a financial justification for a control system migration or upgrade project is the first step

  • The Importance of Thorough System Testing

    by Tom McGreevy All automation projects ideally follow a process that reflects the classic systems engineering allocation phases, the full solution comes together as subsystems are integrated to form a complete system Critical to the ultimate success of any automation project is appropriate testing as the system is being The FAT is typically performed at the facility of the system provider, either by an OEM or a control system integrator.

  • Cost considerations for Burner Management Systems (BMS)

    (and where picking safety integrity levels on burner management systems makes sense) Safety is always , of which burner management systems are one type. A right sized safety system delivers the right amount of protection that a facility needs, requiring This will result in an overly conservative and unnecessarily expensive system. At the same time, the system design also needs to be consistent for similarly situated, similar types
