Optical Bus Control System (OCS)

Product Description

HollySys has launched the Industrial Optical Bus Control System (OCS) based on the HOLLiAS MACS® platform. This industrial process control system combines advanced industrial optical bus technology with software-defined I/O technology.

OCS supports explosion-proof Industrial Intelligent Data Transmission Unit (iDTU) pre-installed in industrial fields, with signal types that can be remotely defined/modified through software. The system adopts the highly reliable and real-time Industrial Optical Bus (Onet) for signal transmission. This passive optical bus utilizes physical spectral division technology, which ensures no protocol conversion or delay, making it safe and reliable. OCS eliminates traditional intermediate links such as field junction boxes, marshalling cabinets, and safety barrier cabinets. In addition, its advanced optical bus technology significantly reduces the usage on traditional copper core cables. Its distributed system structure converts customized projects of the traditional control system into standardized projects, greatly reducing the engineering efforts and implementation project cycle. The system does not require a central control cabinet or cross-wiring, reducing cable usage, workload, and potential failures, significantly reducing project construction capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operational expenditures (OPEX). The system installation and application are highly flexible, allowing I/O to be added at any location in a plant without disrupting the arrangement of equipment cabinets. This flexibility provides a simple and user-friendly platform for future project adjustments and upgrades, resulting in significant cost reduction for users with regard to future system upgrades and expansions, as well as a reduction in the workload and expenses of system maintenance.
