In process plants, the process control system is the starting point for optimal value added: All procedures and processes can be operated, monitored and influenced with the process control system.

The process control system is the interface to the process and it enables safe process and plant control and at the same time serves as the central database from which further optimiza-tion potential can be tapped into. The more powerful the process control system, the more effectively this potential can be used. For this reason, performance is in the foreground with SIMATIC PCS 7, alongside scalability, flexibility and inte-gration. Starting with planning and engineering, the process control system offers powerful tools, functions and features for cost-effective and efficient plant operation through all phases of the plant life cycle.

Performance through integration

Integration is one of the special strengths of SIMATIC PCS 7 and is evident in many aspects:

Horizontal integration into TIAA system for integrated automation of the entire process chain, from incoming raw materials to outgoing goods this is one of the decisive advantages resulting from the seamless integration of SIMATIC PCS 7 into Totally Integrated Automation.

The process control system is mainly responsible for auto-mating the primary processes here, but it can do very much more: All ancillary facilities such as the electrical infrastruc-ture in the form of low-voltage or medium-voltage switchgear or the building management system, can also be integrated into the system.

Vertical integration into hierarchical communicationThe hierarchal communication of a company encompasses the field level, the control level and the process level, up to management and enterprise resource planning (ERP). Thanks to standardized interfaces, based on international industry standards as well as internal interfaces, SIMATIC PCS 7 is able to provide process data for analysis, planning, coordination and optimization of plant sequences or production and business processes in real time and at any location
