Ge Fanuc PLC Solutions
Proven, rugged PLC platforms widely deployed in mining operations for reliable control of material handling, processing, and critical plant systems.
Overview
GE Fanuc (now part of Emerson’s automation portfolio following the 2019 acquisition of GE Intelligent Platforms) has been a long-standing leader in industrial automation. Its Series 90 PLC family became a global standard for reliable, modular control systems used extensively in mining, manufacturing, and process industries.
Although many Series 90 platforms are now legacy products, they remain operational across mining sites worldwide due to their durability, flexibility, and long service life. For new installations and upgrades, Emerson provides migration paths to PACSystems RX3i, RX7i, and VersaMax platforms.
