Control System Upgrades

Automated control systems play a vital role in advancing your process technology and staying ahead of competition in commercial markets.

Upgrading your control system can vastly increase the value of an existing process plant in operation, improve the quality of the data you obtain and extend the useful lifecycle of your plant.

Upgrading control systems for pilot plants

"The conversion of ACE products to modern control systems by Zeton's controls and electronics personnel has improved overall system performance."

Control System Upgrades

WE OFFER EXPERTISE AND THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY

Zeton’s dedicated in-house control system team focuses not only on requirements for new pilot plants, but also on upgrading dated or obsolete control systems in existing pilot plants, laboratory scale systems and demonstration plants. We offer expertise and the latest technology when working with our customers to facilitate new and retrofit control systems including support with specifications, fabrication and installation and we’ll work closely with your automation team to implement the final control solution.

While modular pilot plant projects can be designed, built and delivered with the control system of your choice, if you don’t have a preferred control system our expert team can recommend an appropriate solution based on the requirements of your pilot plant or laboratory scale system and our experience with projects of similar scale and complexity.

Our unparalleled knowledge of commercially available control systems allows us to recommend and support a range of control systems appropriate for your needs, based on the characteristics of your plant, regardless of the manufacturer. Zeton is an approved systems integrator for the Emerson DeltaV, Proficy HMI/SCADA iFIX and Honeywell HC900 Hybrid DCS control systems, and we work with control systems including but not limited to:

  • Honeywell Experion/HC900/C300/UOC
  • Emerson DeltaV and DeltaV Batch
  • Allen-Bradley
  • Eurotherm
  • Yokogawa Centum/Stardom/Fast/Tools
  • Siemens S5/S7/PCS7
  • ABB
  • National Instruments Labview
  • GE Fanuc Proficy HMI/SCADA iFIX
  • Wonderware InTouch
  • Foxboro by Schneider
  • Beckhoff
  • HIMA F60
  • Open batch

Our control system engineers and electrical technicians are responsible for a thorough factory checkout of all new systems and these same experts are available to assist you in the field; often providing startup and training services during project completion, they play an integral role in the success of our projects.

CASE STUDY

Case Study – Control System Upgrade: KTI

Zeton also serves customers who need control system upgrades on pilot plants built by Zeton or other manufacturers. For Kayser Technology, Inc., Zeton replaced obsolete Azonix hardware on the ACE Technology product line with a Honeywell HC900 Hybrid Controller and Proficy-iFIX software. In a separate large-scale project, Zeton converted a research facility's fragmented, PC-based control systems to a unified Emerson DeltaV platform, rebuilding the entire operation and data collection system while retaining all…
