Collection: ABB Advant OCS/800xA

The ABB Advant OCS (Open Control System) and System 800xA are part of ABB’s evolution in industrial automation, specifically within Distributed Control Systems (DCS). Advant OCS originated in the 1980s as a process control system designed to monitor and manage industrial operations, like those in manufacturing, energy, or chemical plants. It was built for flexibility, allowing integration with various hardware and software over time. System 800xA, introduced later, is a more modern, integrated automation platform that expands on Advant OCS by combining process control, production management, and advanced data handling into a unified environment.
