Imagine not having to plan for generational upgrades. Imagine making leaps in capability without re-engineering. You should be able to maximise the benefits of your application first and optimise your automation platform second.
The new controller platform and family from GE Fanuc Automation delivers on this philosophy. To underline this fact, it has recently received international acknowledgement of that delivery, with the receipt of the prestigious European Control Engineering Award for 2003.
GE Fanuc Automation, part of the global GE Infrastructure business platform, has recently introduced the new PACSystems RX3i controller - the latest addition to the innovative PACSystems family.
The PACSystems solution features a single control engine and universal programming environment, which provides application portability across multiple hardware platforms to deliver a true convergence of control choices.
This is according to Daniel Coetzee, business manager for GE Fanuc Automation in Sub-Saharan Africa.
