ICS Triplex and Fisher-Rosemount cooperated to demonstrate OPC (OLE for Process Control) in action at Interkama. A demonstration of the ICS Triplex Trusted(tm) fault-tolerant TMR* safety system linked by OPC to a Fisher-Rosemount Delta V(tm) process automation system was shown on the Fisher-Rosemount stand F41/42 in hall 14, and attracted great interest. The OPC Server software resides on the system host network and makes the information in the Trusted(tm) fault-tolerant controller available to the OPC clients in Delta V or any other OPC compliant DCS or SCADA package.

OPC Client connections are made by simply dragging and dropping tag names from one system window to the other - what could be simpler! Physical connection is made by a single or dual-redundant Ethernet link with all redundancy management designed in.

*TMR - Triple Modular Redundant By creating an industry standard, truly open link into the Trusted(tm) System for DCS, Graphics, SCADA or similar applications, ICS Triplex has freed system designers from the straight jacket of a proprietary interface, or the complexity of intelligent MODBUS gateways, saving project costs and increasing system performance.
