Swap I/O and Other Hardware

With UCOS, you can replace one brand of valve actuator connected to one brand of I/O with different makes and models – without changing the logic.

The same is true for other types of devices. If you can swap I/O and other hardware, the implications are significant:

• Replace your control system with UCOS but keep your existing I/O.
• No need to rewire if you're keeping your I/O.
• Upgrade to a cutting-edge control system now, but replace I/O as your needs and budget allow.
• Upgrade your I/O and/or field devices later without re-engineering the system – even if you change makes and/or models.

UCOS can lower the cost of upgrading your control system by allowing you to buy less than you thought you needed.

Now you can get the automation powerhouse you need without busting your budget or compromising your goals.

Details

There are two basic features that allow you to swap I/O and other hardware in a UCOS system:

• Support for I/O from multiple manufacturers.
• Object-oriented, hardware-independent configuration.

Let's look closer at each of these issues.
