Efficient, mobile plant management
Siemens has further developed its Simatic PCS 7 process control system and released version 8.2, which comes with a range of new functionalities to improve not only user convenience but also the performance and efficiency of the process control system over the entire lifecycle of process plants. Version 8.2 of Simatic PCS 7 offers individual, networked and reliable plant monitoring. Web systems can also be operated and observed over the Intranet/Internet with Simatic PCS 7, for instance. For this, operators can use configuration possibilities for individual and secured online access to the operating and monitoring level of a production plant, enabling the implementation of benefits such as remote control room concepts.
The integration of mobile terminals in Simatic PCS 7 has also been extended. This allows information such as production characteristics, trend or alarm functions to be viewed at any time from any location using smartphones or tablets.
Simatic PDM (Process Device Manager) supports plant-wide access to field devices. Diagnosis, maintenance, parameterisation, configuration and commissioning can be performed by mobile terminals with standard browsers as well as by any optional computer within a system.
The logic matrix plays a key role in ensuring efficient plant engineering. It allows the efficient switching of interlock statuses in a production plant in compliance with the cause and effect principle. A software update service (SUS) for Simatic PCS 7 is offered as well. This also encompasses support for Microsoft Windows 10 and Server 2012.
