Advantages
The main advantages of the RIAs
for RS3 migration are as follow :
Existing I/O cables are just disconnected from the Provox I/O cards and reconnected to the RIA without any change at the same place
(same terminals with same labelling and same electrical features)
The existing loop drawings are kept without any modification,
allowing all maintenance processes and procedures
to remain unchanged.
