The DeltaV PK Flex Controller builds upon the proven innovation and technology of the DeltaV PK Controller, delivering the same powerful functionality with new flexibility. Its subscription-based, scalable licensing model lets you subscribe only to the functionality you need and expand at any time. This approach reduces upfront capital costs and allows you to shift investments to your OPEX budget.
Easy Engineering with Software-Scalable Capacity
Eliminate the need for detailed or time-intensive engineering and determining Device Signal Tag (DST) capacity at the start of your project. Easily expand capacity at any time by adding software subscription-based licenses — starting with as few as 50 DSTs and scaling up to 1,500 DSTs per PK Flex Controller.
Simple Project Sizing with Flex DST
With Flex DST, you only need to know the amount of I/O, not the type, simplifying the engineering and planning capacity of the project.
Reduced Project Cost
Significantly reduce project capital costs by moving to a subscription-based license, paying only for what you need, when you need it, over time rather than upfront. This shifts expenses to operational spending and helps accelerate ROI.
Increased Affordability for Future Hardware Updates
With term-based licensing, purchase the controller at a lower cost, making it more affordable to replace controllers often and stay up to date with the latest CPU and memory. This keeps the system evergreen, running new functionality with confidence that future controllers will support it.
Lower Initial Investment with Easy-to-Order Base Software Package for DeltaV DCS
The DeltaV Flex System is a full-featured DeltaV DCS that combines term-based software licensing, product support, and extended hardware warranty in a single, packaged solution. Leveraging the PK Flex Controller, it lowers the upfront cost for systems of any size.
Hardware Warranty
As part of your subscription, the support for your PK Flex hardware is included.
