ABB provides specialized tools to handle the complexity of updating a Distributed Control System (DCS) without causing process downtime. System Update Tool (SUT):
For redundant server architectures (Aspect and Connectivity pairs), update one node at a time. Ensure the primary node takes the full load, update the standby node, verify its functionality, and then switch roles to update the second node. This preserves runtime operations. Maintain a Rollback Plan
