Simatic PCS 7 Plant Automation Accelerator

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

With the Simatic PCS 7 Plant Automation Accelerator, Siemens is launching a cross-system engineering tool for planners and automation specialists to allow simple, efficient Simatic PCS 7 process control system development. By providing consistency of the digital system from planning through automation to central data management, the new engineering tool supplies the conditions for improved decision security and more efficient processes across the whole plant – helping users to become sustainably more competitive.

The large number of entities, data formats and interfaces involved means that process plant engineering workflows are often prone to transmission errors and system conflicts. Information can frequently go missing or have to be manually corrected during data exchange between different disciplines. This increases the time required for engineering and the costs involved. The object-oriented approach of the Simatic PCS 7 Plant Automation Accelerator enables users to work on a central data platform, guaranteeing completely integrated planning based on an electronic workflow, starting with plant engineering through to automation.

All the planning data of a project exists in the central data model of the Simatic PCS 7 Plant Automation Accelerator. Automation specialists have access to functions required for the compilation of quotations such as bills of material and automatically generated control data from the electrical plans of the Siemens Simatic PCS 7 process control system, including controlled mass data engineering, through to as-is process automation documentation.
