Part 5: Industrial Connectivity and Cyber Security - Optimize your process with secure access to all process information

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006
1:30 pm EST (GMT -4)

Facilities often have scenarios similar to this; Multiple distributed control systems (DCS) within your mill, two different quality control/gauging systems (QCS), multiple data historians, lab data systems (LIMs), product tracking systems, maintenance management systems (CMMS), drives, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), vibration systems, and data needs to get to and from all of them. To make it worse, the more open these systems become the more susceptible they are to the virus’ and other cyber security related issues prevalent in the business network world.

This web seminar will present an open standards approach, OPC, to data access from your multiple systems through Matrikon’s world class suite of OPC products. An overview of the architecture and systems processes needed to provide security for the new levels of process and business system integration will also be presented.
