For all machines and systems of a plant to work together optimally, continuous communication from the company management level to the field level must be guaranteed. You can rely on open, integrated communication for your automation – running straight through the entire company and even beyond the borders of the business.
Profit from the advantages of internationally recognized standards such as Industrial Ethernet or PROFIBUS or from the world-wide information flow via Internet. Since the hardware and software components used for SIMATIC PCS 7 are compatible with these communication mechanisms, connections can be configured very easily, even connection that span the system or various networks. The FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 (FF-H1), which is established in many branches, can be integrated via PROFIBUS. Hardware configuration and detailed diagnostics of the FF-H1 components conform to the system.
