I would like to convert our system to a purely software based application (touch screens and computers) but it would cost WAY too much (because of the fiber optic cabling that would have to replace the hundreds of thousands of feet of wiring that is a part of the buildings that we're in), so instead they want us to do a project where we either just rebuild the control panels using the same parts (but newer) or make a few upgrades to cut down on future costs and power bills, etc.Actually many of these systems have been converted to PLC, where practical.
It also makes trouble shooting a breeze for maintenance personnel.
This is why GM instigated the introduction of such a device in the first place..
