Hello Mocksah,

Probably not much help, but here (in my office), a PROCON refers to a PROgramming CONsole. A type of hand-held (and latterly desk-top) device that was used for programming a PLC prior to the proliferation of computer-based software applications.

A quick Google search using

PROCON "process control"

as keywords seems to indicate that there is a product line of process control trainers with the brand name "PROCON". I suggest you follow that lead to see what you can find.

I have a PROCON software package running as a data acquisition on profibus with 4 S5's...don't know much about it, other then I will get bus faults on my S5's if its not running, we have done some other small editing...I don't know about "process control" side, ours only does data acquisition, collecting data and reporting

I have heard of a PROCON LSX system that is a UNIX based front end with Siemens S5 PLC components. Used mainly in the power industry. I am not sure of the particulars.
