Most DCS are only based on Processes. However, 800xA allows for Electrical to be integrated with Process and Safety amongst other systems. This Use Case shows one common Operator Workplace for both process and power automation. It explains how operation is improved with this integrated approach such as, how load shedding is visible for the process operators. In addition configuration data, disturbance analysis and asset management of High Voltage/Medium Voltage equipment is available from any 800xA workplace. This use case is good for demonstrating seamless Electrical and Process Control Integration.
