Scalable DCS
The A² system is scalable, going from equipment-level systems with low I/O counts to larger systems that can meet the needs of a complete plant control network. “Early projects have been won on the basis that users pay for only what they need today, with the assurance that they can grow the system to thousands of points of I/O without throwing away any of their initial investment,” says Steve Young, vice president for the vendor. Prices for smaller systems start at less than $10,000.
