BUSINESS JUSTIFICATION
Lost our internal ProcessLogixTM Champion Support for the Existing Solution increasingly difficult to find. Have a small PlantPAx system in place for Resin Blending.
This in conjunction with ProcessLogix being based on 1756 I/O made the best solution easy to choose.
Had experienced the advantages of built in directed diagnostics. Liked the ability to find trained resources on Rockwell
solutions. ProcessLogix Server stability was becoming a problem. Unsupported Platform from Rockwell Unsupported Hardware/Software (Windows 2000)
BUSINESS JUSTIFICATION
Project justification was on Cost Avoidance. If a failure occurred the MTTR would be significant, increasing production
costs.
On power outages we were having a difficult time recovering due to issues with the ProcessLogix servers.
When process improvements were implemented the labor cost for ProcessLogix integration would be higher than PlantPAx.
MIGRATION STRATEGY
Had existing solution in place for Resin, wanted to build on it. Had an infrastructure that was expanded multiple times
without a well thought out strategy. Had legacy code that needed to be cleaned up. Needed to install the upgrade on a short outage. Operators were already familiar with the Resin system
faceplates and control.
EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE
FINAL INFRASTRUCTURE
LEGACY CODE MIGRATION
Integrator documented all existing loops. Reviewed code list with production for equipment that was out of
service or provided poor performance. Converted existing code and tuning values. Some sequences were eliminated due to better tools in PlantPAx. Consolidated multiple HMI platforms from other systems into the
new Factory Talk® View SE system. Pulper RSView32 System. Line Drive RSView32 System. Multiple PV+ Applications.
NEEDED TO INSTALL ON A SHORT OUTAGE
Initially targeted a 24 hour production down. Integrator put together a thorough test plan for critical loops
at startup. Actual outage was 36 hours due to other maintenance. Startup went extremely well.
We did have a path back to the ProcessLogix system if we had a catastrophic problem.
We moved two ControlNet Racks to Ethernet due to failing control net cables installed crossing the machine in the basement.
We did have access to the ProcessLogix code if needed to verify operation.
OPERATOR FAMILIARITY
Operators were already comfortable with the HMI due to the existing Resin PlantPAx implementation.
Operator training on the HMI was minimal, screens mimicked the existing ProcessLogix using familiar faceplates.

LEVERAGING PRODUCTION INTELLIGENCE
Chose to use Factory Talk Historian as a replacement for the ProcessLogix Historian.
Chose to use Factory Talk VantagePoint to provide production intelligence to operations management.
Chose to use Factory Talk AssetCentre for Disaster recovery and backup.
Chose to use ACP Thin Manager for HMI clients and engineering station.
LEVERAGING FACTORY TALK HISTORIAN
Used to create trends relating critical process values for a quick overview of production quality.
Used to create ad hock reporting to troubleshoot process problems as they arise.
Used to create required environmental reporting.
Working on Production dashboards for critical KPI’s.
THICK STOCK VS LEVEL
AD HOCK
ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTING
