You have a choice of either the UNIX or Windows NT-based control system. Either way you will benefit from the most technologically advanced, truly open system in the market today. Redundant Ethernet and Internet connection for remote access is easy. Interface or integration with other systems including OPC are readily available. With all the advanced features of the system, you will be surprised on how much it cost.

Both APACS+ DCS and QUADLOG Safety PLC utilize the same configuration software called 4-mation which fully complies with IEC 61131-3 industry standard. Any mix of the following languages can be used within a single control module database to ensure you have the most effective tool available for each aspect of your configuration:-

• DCS-style function blocks for continuous control, such as flow and temperature control.
• PLC-like ladder logic for discrete requirements, such as interlock circuits.
• Sequential function charts for defining procedures, such as automated startup or batch operations using a flow-chart like technique.
• Structured text for needs better handled in a text environment, such as complex calculations.
