Architecture Overview
The Proficy Process Systems architecture is designed to provide a modular and
expandable system to meet your most demanding process control needs. Proficy
Process Systems can uniquely range from a small, one-machine architecture to a
large, multi-machine architecture. This approach means you can start small and
expand your system over time, at your pace. The system consists of several layers.
Applications Layer
The Applications Layer contains the software that powers the
information capabilities of Proficy Process Systems, featuring:
Engineering Workstation
This is where you design, create, and maintain your systems
configuration. With an advanced Logic Developer, you can
create your control strategies in Function Blocks, Ladder
Logic, or Structured Text for the PACSystems* controllers.
Operator Console
This is where your operators monitor and control the
process. Choose between our two industry leading
HMI/SCADA visualization technologies for your system
CIMPLICITY* or iFIX*. The consoles communicate with the Engineering Workstation
PACSystems controllers through our Global Namespace.
Historian
The Historian is designed specifically for handling process
data. It provides high performance storage and retrieval
with sub-second collection and millisecond time-stamping.
Change Management
Change Management provides version control for your
process control strategies, including audit trail capabilities.
ERP Connectivity
GE Fanuc has closed the gap between automation and
information with our Proficy Production Management software
products and ERP connector. Now you can link your control
system to your business systems to truly drive operational
excellence in your business.
Controllers
The PACSystems RX7i and RX3i give Proficy Process Systems
its flexibility, featuring a common engine which allows you
to take programs that are created in one controller and
easily move them to another.
Proficy Process Systems also features Control Memory
Exchange, a breakthrough technology incorporated from
GE Fanuc's Embedded Systems Business. Through high-speed
fiber optics, Control Memory Exchange allows data in one
controller to be exchanged and shared with another controller
PACSystems RX7i
at over a 2 giga baud rate. This allows you to synchronize
controllers for distributed control, or reflect the memory
state of one controller to another for redundant operations.
