the process via Internet/intranet

The innovative SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system

offers integrated and homogeneous automation
solutions for all industrial sectors. Its conception
and architecture enable you to operate a plant costeffectively and efficiently over the entire life cycle,
from planning, engineering, commissioning and
training to operation and maintenance. In addition
to process control tasks in the main production
process, SIMATIC PCS 7 also covers the complete
automation of all secondary, upstream and downstream processes such as waste water treatment or
the distribution of power to a production location.

SIMATIC PCS 7 Asset Management is seamlessly

integrated into the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control
system and runs in parallel to the plant automation.
No additional hardware or software tools are
required. Plant operating and maintenance staff use
the same SIMATIC PCS 7 tools and user interfaces
with information filtered and edited individually for
each task. This eliminates significant additional
engineering costs. The entire hardware structure of
the process control system is hierarchically displayed
at the maintenance station. The automatic
generation of hierarchical diagnostic images reduces
both engineering costs and maintenance costs, for
example when changes need to be made in the
plant. Differentiated access control ensures
unambiguous identification and prevents faulty
interventions.
With SIMATIC PCS 7, all components that can be
diagnosed, e.g. PCs, bus components, automation
systems and the complete decentralized periphery
such as I/O modules or intelligent field devices are
integrated into the Asset Management. Thus, all
process control components of the plant can be
monitored online and in real time, enabling evaluation of their current status. A consistent symbolic
representation of all assets minimizes misinterpretation, ensures unambiguous identification and reduces search efforts. The system supports maintenance staff in decision-making, e.g. by suggesting
service requirements or alarms.

SIMATIC PCS 7 Asset Management can be used for

all systems ranging from a laboratory system to a
complex plant. Depending on the system architecture
of the plant, the maintenance station can be flexibly
implemented on the basis of
The Client-Server architecture
The SIMATIC PCS 7 Single Station, integrated with
the OS operator station or
The SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX
The implementation of the asset management
system is based on international standards such as
the requirements of NAMUR NA 64 Status messages
of field devices and NE91 Plant asset management.
With SIMATIC PCS 7 Asset Management, anticipatory
maintenance, repairs and servicing can be easily
and effectively integrated into process management.
Thus, loss of production can be minimized and
expensive downtimes reduced.

User-specific passwords, firewalls and individual

application concepts protect the system from unauthorized interventions. SIMATIC PCS 7 can be installed
easily and quickly via download or from a CD.
Up to 50 PCS 7 web clients can simultaneously
access a SIMATIC PCS 7 OS web server enabling
remote control from various locations.

SIMATIC PCS 7 Web operating and monitoring

the process easily via Internet/intranet
With large distributed plants or interconnected plant
facilities, direct online access to the process is
possible only to a limited extent.
With SIMATIC PCS 7 Web you can now control the
process via Internet/intranet. This tool provides
access to the PCS 7 OS web server from any
commonly available PC using the Internet Explorer.
This enables you to monitor processes and,
depending on the user authorization, intervene
directly if required from anywhere in the world.

SIMATIC PCS 7 Operator Station safe process

management through integrated alarm
processing
Sudden alarm messages, for example, in the case
of sensor failures or commissioning of plant parts
during ongoing operation, can significantly disturb
the operator and cause misinterpretation or even
faulty reactions. Ease-of-use: the alarm processing
functionality integrated in SIMATIC PCS 7 OS has
been greatly improved. Now the operator can even
more efficiently

SIMATIC PCS 7 Web consists of:

SIMATIC PCS 7 OS web server
Can be installed and configured on a
SIMATIC PCS 7 OS client PC.
SIMATIC PCS 7 web clients
For access via the Internet Explorer to the project
data provided on the PCS 7 OS web server
without any additional software.

Recognize blocked measuring points throughout

the system
Trace exactly when and by whom specific
measuring points were blocked or released

Plus, the system automatically converts the selected

images, thus requiring only a minimum of
engineering effort.

technology

Quickly identify the critical measuring point

through loop in alarm and react accordingly.

Central archive server for easy handling of

valuable archive data

New Ex remote I/O ET 200iSP for use in

hazardous areas

Large, complex plants in particular generate a lot

of archive data on a daily basis which needs to be
available for an extended period of time. The new
SIMATIC PCS 7 version V6.1 supports a central archive
server for storing and managing process data, messages and events as well as batch data of up to
12 servers or server pairs. This central management
of archive data simplifies handling, saves costs and
enables the long-term backup of production data.

The new ET 200iSP was developed especially for the

process industry and for use in hazardous areas. The
redundant power supply and a redundant PROFIBUS
connection in particular fulfil the requirements
regarding increased availability.

For small plants with up to 3 redundant OS servers

and one redundant batch server, the
StoragePlus V1.1 is a cost-effective alternative.

Gigabit Ethernet technology for industrial

Ethernet flexible communication for large
plants
The new gigabit technology based on the SCALANCE
X414-3E or X208 modular switches and 8-wire
electrical (twisted pair) or optical cabling technology
from SIMATIC NET enables powerful communication
performance, especially for very large plants with
extensive quantity structures and wide communication networks.
The plant and terminal bus can also be implemented
in redundant optical gigabit ring technology. The
SCALANCE X414-3E has two gigabit Ethernet ports
for connecting the switches with each other. An
integrated redundancy manager for monitoring the
network function recognizes the failure of a transmission line or a switch in the ring and activates the
substitute line within 0.3 seconds.
Bus topologies and technology can be adapted
flexibly to your specific plant requirements.

The new ET 200iSP is based on a modular, intrinsically safe peripheral device with degree of protection
IP30 that is designed for up to 32 electronic modules
and transmission rates of up to 1.5 Mbit/s. All Zone 1
modules can be replaced without tools during
ongoing operation (hot swapping). This also applies
to online extensions and re-parameterization. The
permanent wiring makes it particularly easy to replace modules. The comprehensive spectrum of
modules also includes modules that support HART
devices.

SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX new application options

Together with SIMATIC PCS 7 Asset Management, the

SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX can now also be used as a maintenance station. This makes it possible to implement
innovative maintenance strategies at low costs even
for small applications.
