At the ISA show this year, Moore Process Automation Solutions introduced
what they call an “Internet Control System” (ICS) called Procidia
(http://www.procidia.com/). Based on what I’ve read so far, the control
system has little to do with the internet, other than purchasing and
support. I was not able to attend the ISA show this year. Did anyone get
a chance to see this new system? Is the software NT-based or Unix based?
Why are they calling it an ICS? On their web page, they state that “The
Internet Control System (ICS) is web-based technology that leads process
automation into the 21st century.” I haven’t seen any technical
information to back this up. What does this mean? Is the HMI web-browser
based? Does it use Java or ActiveX controls? How can I control my
process through the Internet? Why do I want to?
