The high levels of integration in today's plants mean that there is a high probability of technological misalignment within the automation infrastructure.

Some critical equipment has been operating for decades with no room for improvement. However, despite being robust and reliable systems, they are not eternal and eventually fail. Therefore, a well-planned and executed migration strategy is necessary.

Protronic Controllers

CPC Engineering has extensive experience in upgrading and migrating the following controllers:

  • H&B Protronic PS
  • H&B Protronic PS2
  • ABB Protronic PS
  • ABB Protronic PS2
  • ABB Protronic P500
  • ABB Protronic P700
  • ABB Digitric D500

Why choose CPC Engineering

To ensure a successful migration, CPC carries out a 4-phase procedure:

  • Phase 1: Extraction of the program from the controller. Currently, two methods are used in CPC:

Traditional Extraction

Connecting the communication cable between the controller and the computer.

Remote extraction

Accessing the controller via wireless communication protocols.

  • Phase 2: Translation and analysis of the program by reverse engineering.

  • Phase 3: Implementation of the algorithm in the new equipment.

  • Phase 4: Testing of the program by dynamic process simulation. Both programs (the original and the migrated one), are tested together to confirm that their functionalities are identical.
