The versatility of TEMPUS allowed us to adapt the technology for various environments. TEMPUS is typically used in rack rooms, where the controller and cards are located. However, with this migration, the equipment was used to cutover DCS hardware from field cabinets and junction boxes located outside.
This migration was safely completed in a classified area utilizing hot work permits. The project utilized five independent racks of TEMPUS stacks to cutover signals across 11 cabinets and junction boxes out in the field. In addition, configurable instruments were modified from DE to HART throughout the migration.
