WDPF-to-Ovation Migration Cost Effective and Risk Free



 

You don't become the leader in the process control industry without a powerful commitment to customer support. Since we first introduced our WDPF system in 1982, we have demonstrated that commitment at thousands of installations by supplying the highest quality service, support and product enhancements in the industry.

For more than 40 years, our product development philosophy has emphasized technical compatibility and the preservation of our customers' investment. It's why we designed our Ovation system to allow a fast, efficient and cost-effective migration path for our WDPF users.

In keeping with that commitment, users of both Classic and WEStation-based WDPF systems can take advantage of the latest technologies while preserving their investment in WDPF. Using a well-defined, field-proven process we can economically migrate any WDPF system to a full-function Ovation system.

You Retain So Much
Your existing field terminations, saving field labor and checkout time
Your fully supported WDPF Q-line I/O, eliminating the expense and risk of replacement
Your proven control logic, saving the expense and risk of developing new schemes
Your existing process graphics, eliminating the need to retrain plant operators

It's a low-risk, cost-effective alternative to complete system replacement. Users are able to retain much of their existing investment in WDPF including cabinetry, the entire Q-Line I/O subsystem and associated wiring, control logic, and process graphics.


Because existing DPU cabinets are simply refitted with an Ovation Controller Fieldkit, there is no impact to system footprint. And most significantly, because your proven control strategies, databases and process graphics are retained, migration if virtually transparent to operators -- thereby minimizing re-training requirements and allowing for continuity of operations.

Did You Know?

After migration, you have the ability to add additional Q-Line I/O modules as well as Ovation I/O for system expansions or enhancements.
