WDPF-to-Ovation Migration -- A Field Proven Migration Solution

Emerson Process Management offers a field-proven migration process to allow seamless conversion of your WDPF system to a fully functional Ovation expert control system. This process has been demonstrated in over a hundred installations to provide a low-risk, high-value alternative to system replacement.

To begin the migration process, we perform a complete hardware and software inventory of your existing WDPF system. Using this information, we develop a comprehensive hardware layout, software map and migration plan to define specific requirements to guide the process. Your existing control logic, process graphics and databases are converted off-line to their Ovation equivalent. A thorough factory acceptance test of your new components and sofware is performed. New workstations and network devices are pre-positioned at your facility and installed before cutover to the new system. Finally, your WDPF Distributed Processing Units are replaced with Ovation controllers, completing the migration with minimum process downtime -- often only a matter of hours.
