Staging the replacement of your legacy Siemens-Moore APACS DCS is a great way to spread out the expense of upgrading, as well as to leverage your old hardware for as long as possible. As you move through these stages, data and signals will need to pass between your new and old DCS. Since most modern DCSs support OPC, it can be a great option on making that last connection. With MatrikonOPC’s
OPC Server for APACS Direct, you can make that connection directly, without the expense of the APACS API.
