Process Control System – SIMATIC PCS 7 Functions
Homogeneous & Uniform
The merge of automation engineering and information technology drives growing demand for flexible production plants, seamlessly integrated universal automation engineering solutions, and increased productivity. Manufacturers can use SIMATIC PCS 7 as a standalone process control system or can integrate it with the SIMATIC, SIMOTION, or drive systems to capitalize on a consistent and homogeneous overall system.
Totally Integrated Automation with SIMATIC PCS7 combines consistent data management, communication and configuration with exceptional system properties and high performance.
Flexibility & Scalability
SIMATIC PCS7 architecture allows customers to configure and expand system instrumentation and control in order to meet requirements and optimally match plant dimensions, as well as adapt to changes in capacity or technological modifications. The process control system reduces costs that would arise from expensive reserve capacity.
Openness for the Future
SIMATIC PCS7 modular hardware and software components can be expanded and innovated and remain viable for the future with long-term stable interfaces. SIMATIC PCS7 can be combined with components from other vendors, and integrated in existing infrastructures. The openness feature provides programming and data transfer interfaces for user programs, as well as import/export functions for graphics, text, and data.
SIEMENS continuously applies the latest technologies to SIMATIC PCS7 and align with internationally acknowledged industrial standards, such as IEC, XML, PROFIBUS, etc.
