In-plant processing systems should provide flexibility along with optimal performance for demanding treatment applications. Each water facility provides unique challenges in terms functional needs and architectural requirements. Correspondingly GE Fanuc's broad selection of controllers and visualization tools has been designed to meet these application challenges. These automation products provide a robust set of enabling capability and also include open interfaces to industry standards to allow for integration with existing equipment and to provide the very best foundation for future system viability.

PACSystems, GE Fanuc's next generation controller, can be flexibly deployed with distributed I/O and/or distributed controllers. For critical portions of the application duplicating controllers, control networks, and even I/O can create high-availability solutions. All of this capability is engineered and configured in Proficy Logic Developer, a single programming tool for process and discrete control automation.

Proficy HMI/SCADA provides a complete set of visualization tools for in-plant processing requirements. Dedicated QuickPanel operator interfaces provide for autonomous operator interaction local to the processing equipment. The associated data and interaction is seamlessly expanded into a full-plant monitoring, alarming and control solution allowing for complete plant coordination.
