Improving plant and worker safety

When process control systems made the change from panelboards to computer-driven platforms, the greatest advance was integration. With a panelboard, a pressure transmitter sent its signal via a dedicated cable to a dedicated display showing its specifi c reading. Using the new approach, it became possible to show the pressure value anywhere needed, and on multiple display types. Many limitations disappeared, allowing unimagined fl exibility for data collection, display, and analytics.
