Schneider Electric launches a validatable PLC service

Schneider Electric has introduced its Validatable PLC service for pharmaceutical and other critical process industries. This service will allow customers to update their legacy systems without revalidation to a new Modicon PLC platform that complies with current FDA regulations and manufacturing quality processes standards.

The PLC enables I/O cards that were installed as long as 30 years ago to be connected with the newest automation technologies. It preserves customer investments in system validation while upgrading processors, I/O, and other components of process automation systems.
