SIMATIC PCS 7 Lab

The automation of laboratories is a special type of automation. Time and cost pressures in this area demand a flexible system to monitor and control the experimental process.
The SIMATIC PCS 7 Lab automation system is custom-designed for these requirements. Based on the proven, standard components of the SIMATIC family,  the distributed design in a sturdy enclosure enables flexible, mobile application at numerous locations. The integrated control technology provides security with reliable monitoring and alarming.
SIMATIC PCS 7 Lab  offers:

	Fast assembly / reassembly and commissioning using plug connections
	Reliable control and monitoring of reactions with integrated management and safe handling of alarms
	Simple configuration of the integrated control technology with ready-made, suggested solutions for dosing, tempering or inertization, for example
	Simple methods for evaluating measured data using export features, for example, to Microsoft Excel
	High reliability with automation

SIMATIC PCS 7 Lab features a modular design and uses the proven components of the SIMATIC family.

Processing module
The core of this module is Simatic PCS7 Box as a bundle package with automation, operator and engineering system. The components are preinstalled and can be flexibly supplemented with other software packages such as SIMATIC Batch or SIMATIC  PCS7 Asset Management.

SIMATIC PCS7 BOX bundle package with automation system (AS), operator system (OS) and engineering system   (ES)
Available ports:

2 x USB (high current)
2 x 10 / 100 Mbps Ethernet port
2 x USB port for keyboard and mouse
1 x DVI-D for monitor

Input/output module
The input/output module acquires signals from your lab instruments and sends them to the processing module. The following range of signals are acquired with the standard configuration:

8 x analog input (AI) 0(4)..20mA
8 x analog input (AI) 0..10V
4 x PT 100 measurements
8   x analog output 0(4)..20mA
16 x digital input
16 x digital output
2 x serial port (RS 232)

The Input/Output modules are based on SIMATIC ET 200M and ET 200pro distributed I/O, which can also be integrated directly into the laboratory equipment thanks to its high degree of protection (IP67). Both systems offer numerous channels (analog, binary) and serial interfaces which you can use to easily connect up, for example, scales and agitators. The individual channels are designed as plug-in connections, a feature that greatly simplifies the task of assembling the laboratory setup.
 

The solutions for control and regulation engineering tasks can be easily scaled up for pilot-plants and production. The seamless integration into the process automation of the entire plant is guaranteed. This opens up new opportunities for optimizing your value-added chain, since the automation methods can be used repeatedly without problem.
