A critical success factor for implementing controls automation systems is how quick the solution can be commissioned and accepted. Traditional approaches involve testing and debugging controls software during site commissioning with the actual equipment, which in many cases leads to start-ups that are several months late and significant over budget expenses.
Brock has reduced this risk through I/O emulation which allows the complete controls system to be functionally tested off-site before commissioning and permit factory acceptance tests (FAT) where the end-user can test drive the system off-line.
Your custom automated control solution is now melded together with your existing controls, equipment, and manufacturing network during installation. Your integrated solution is completely tested based on the initial project goals and modified to meet any revised requirements.
