Existing control system architectures face a number of common challenges that the ECM2 Control Platform helps to solve. Commonly used control systems typically consist of multiple control nodes and networks, which can often lead to many issues, some of which include network and latency delays that often require the use of different programming applications. The ECM2 Control Platform replaces a standard control architecture with a single robust node that provides common and full programmability as well as advanced diagnostics to ease troubleshooting.
The ECM2 is the latest in the line of next generation process control platforms. It has the ability to handle detailed execution tasks through various programming options, manage I/O via the custom distribution board, and run certified programmable safety interlocks.
