## PlantPAx DCS Reviews
  ### 1. It's supposed to be pretty cool.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Industrial Automation | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**What do you like best about PlantPAx DCS?**

In my experience, Plantpax is good for larger plants and for standardization across a companies facilities

**What do you dislike about PlantPAx DCS?**

One issue I have found with PlantPAX (after 4 installations/upgrades) is that it uses a LOT of CPU power. We've had to upgrade all the L6 processors to L7s to do the same "work" with the PlantPAX AOIs. You'll want to eliminate any continuous task you have and go to only periodic tasks to provide enough downtime in the CPU for comms.

**What problems is PlantPAx DCS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is pretty much what goes on in the typical DCS platforms like Honeywell Experion or DeltaV. The upside is that if you have a lot of existing fairly current RA hardware AND you will do a rewrite, it can save you some time.
