The market introduction of the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system was in 1996. Eleven years ago Siemens AG presented its first process control system in Rotterdam, featuring a fully new approach and a common platform for both programmable logic controllers and programmable control systems.
Siemens was setting a trend in the market, which is followed by other manufacturers even today.
SIMATIC PCS 7 has now been in the market for over ten years. It was first conceived as a solution for small plants and then grew into a mature process control system.
In the older development stages up to version 5 in the year 2000, we concentrated for the most part on increasing the number of functions in the system.
Version 6.0 provided an archive server for automatic backup of process data and enabled execution of batch processes using SIMATIC BATCH.
The introduction of version 6.1 in the 2005 featured innovations such as integrated an asset management system as well as operator control and monitoring of the process control systems via Internet or Intranet.
SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.0, the latest version of the process control systems, has been available since the end of 2006. With every new stage of development, we attempt to convert our ideas into your advantages and customers of our process control systems will continue to profit in the future from the advanced developments while continuing to maintain standards.
