Engineering Systems
Optimally matched tools, user-friendly, graphically guided operation and a central engineering system make the hardware and software engineering of projects with SIMATIC PCS 7 fast and easy. The engineering software is modularly designed and runs under the common Windows operating systems. It can be quantitatively and functionally adapted to a wide variety of customer tasks and requirements.
Programmed for success
The engineering toolset includes the full range of functions for system-wide, project-oriented engineering. The tools are also used for effective engineering of the control system hardware including distributed I/O and field devices, the communication networks, the automation functionality for continuous and sequential process sequences as well as operator control and monitoring functionality.
SIMATIC Manager comes into play as an integration platform for the engineering toolset. The engineering tools for the application software, the hardware components and the communication are opened from a single work environment. At the same time, the SIMATIC Manager is the base application for the entire engineering of the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system, in that it is used to create, manage, archive and document the project.
Integrated database
Once data is entered, it remains available throughout the system. All changes to a project that affect the automation systems, operator systems or SIMATIC BATCH are compiled and downloaded in a single step and automatically applied to the entire system in the correct sequence. This avoids redundant records as well as errors in the data input or naming.
