Hollysys Automation Technologies Announces the Release of Its 5th Generation DCS

The new HOLLiAS-K sets the new industry standard for reliability. HollySys has added its years of experiences in nuclear DCS into the design of HOLLiAS-K. Fully redundancy, multiple isolation and fail-safe concepts protect the system against any single-point fault. Even the misconnecting of 220VAC to I/O channel will harm the system nothing at all.

HOLLiAS-K offers the customers ultimate flexibility and convenience in system design and engineering. P-to-P (Peer to Peer), C/S (Client/Server), or hybrid system architecture can be selected according to the project scale, which meet the needs of both the large and medium/small applications. Further advantages such as vertical mounting, modular connection, and tilted I/O design make the engineering and wiring more effective and deliver the customers faster and more stable field installation.

To protect the investment of our existing customers, HOLLiAS-K is fully compatible with the I/O modules of HollySys legacy system. This feature could help our customers upgrade the legacy systems step by step in the future, risk-free and cost-effectively.

Beyond all the advantages of its own, HOLLiAS-K also takes the role as the basic platform of HollySys automation solutions. HOLLiAS AMS (Asset Management System), Batch Control, SIS (Safety Instrumentation System), MES (Manufacturing Execution System), and other family members can be integrated seamlessly together, in order to offer our customers a total automation solution from head to toe.
