Control Networks
Modern facilities require up to date communications right down to plant level. Plant managers demand more information quicker than ever before. Process operators need full control facilities at all times of the day and night. Maintenance managers want information so that their services can be scheduled economically. To meet these requirements, design engineers include field communications networks to allow every piece of critical plant to be controlled and monitored by computer. These computers are assigned to management operations and maintenance tasks within their own network, exchanging data about the equipment and processes under their control.
