Following on from Alan's excellent points, it just so happens that my current major project is the replacement of a Bailey Network90 DCS on a large water treatment plant with ControlLogix/Citect.
1. He is correct in that factory support for the Network 90 is declining rapidly. It has taken ABB two months to get a specialist on site to fix a problem we could not deal with ourselves. Even then the guy has taken several days longer than he anticipated. It is not an easy system to work with.
2. We looked very closely at ABB's migration path to bring it up to current technology...the Industrial IT system. What became clear was that even if we did a "transitional upgrade", within five years we would have to replace any remaining hardware with ABB's latest offering's anyhow ( which is Alan Case's point as well). For us we found it just wasn't worth it, and we are getting far better value replacing the whole thing with ControlLogix.
3. Just to answer your specific question about the graphics package, the Bailey system uses a package called "Conductor" that is fully integrated with the system. It is not a standalone HMI like Wonderware. However there are some HMI packages that do have drivers to the Bailey DCS. These are typically slowish serial connections via something called a "CIU Module". onto Plant Loop, which itself only runs at about 38kbaud.
You then get involved in huge amounts of configuring things called "Point Tables" and writing "Exception Blocks" to get data out of the processors and onto Plant Loop. It is very tedious and error prone work, and worse still most of our older processors have run out of available "Blocks" (effectively program memory), so we have hit a hard limit on how much more we can do with the system. Our one person who is reasonably proficient with the DCS labours for days over modest tasks, whereas we do the equivalent things on our CLX processors in less than an hour or two.
In our case we have been using Citect alongside Conductor for several years now in order to extract information that we want to pull into our global system. Works ok, except it is slow, and worse still about every 10th time we re start the Citect project, the CIU crashes the whole Plant Loop as well as every processor in the system and we go into crisis mode to restart the plant.
Overall we are finding the Bailey DCS increasingly fragile, inflexible and hard to maintain. If I were you guys I would be looking long and hard at ditching it altogether.
