BOSTON — In an effort to enlarge its distributed control system (DCS) installed base, Invensys Process Systems today announced a migration module that gives users of Honeywell's TDC 2000 system an upgrade path to the latest version of Invensys' Foxboro I/A Series as well as device diagnostics capabilities. The plug-in module from Invensys fits into the existing TDC 2000 system enclosure and does not require replacement of wires, termination assemblies, system enclosures, or power supplies, Invensys officials said. Invensys has been migrating competitors' DCS to I/A Series through similar methods for several years, but this is the first time the upgrade supports HART field communications, a 10-year-old standard that enables device diagnostics.
