Featuring the “Express” Electronics Platform
When requirements call for an integrated, “all in
one box” chart replacement or ow computer, the
ControlWave GFC Plus from Emerson Process
Management is a cost effective, competitive solu-
tion.
Unlike chart replacements, ControlWave GFC Plus
is also able to meets users’ automation needs and
easily supervises a two-run metering and regulating
station or plunger lift operations at a well site.
