When replacing PLC/DCS systems, it is vital to avoid cabling errors and to keep plant downtimes to a minimum during the migration process. PLC/DCS migration interfaces from Weidmüller provide you with a secure way of replacing the control level. Even adaptations or changes to the infrastructure can be performed simply and quickly without any need to intervene in the field cabling.
The design permits your existing field wiring to remain in place and eliminates the need to wire-trace or ring-out.
Universal conversion/migration system for main legacy PLC/DCS systems, to migrate to any new control system.
Includes versions of card adaptors and cable types to accommodate flying leads or pre-wired field connections.
