SIMATIC PCS 7 Process Control System - Siemens

Typical sequence of a maintenance cycle
• Intelligent sensors recognize the threat of failures by means of
the implemented diagnostics system long before the actual
failure, and can signal these.
• Diagnostics information on network components and basic
PC devices is transferred to the maintenance station via an
OPC SNMP link present in the assets.
• The symbol of the associated component (e.g. a field device)
signals "Maintenance required" on the maintenance station.
An entry is automatically made in the message log so that the
chronology of occurred events can also be analyzed later.
Parallel to this, the vendor’s detailed diagnostics information is
determined by means of SIMATIC PDM and the device description
(EDD).
• On the overview display, maintenance engineers recognize
"Maintenance required" in the technological plant. The maintenance
engineers are rapidly guided to the corresponding device
using standard mechanisms known from the operator station
such as "Common display" and "Operator prompting
using loop in alarm". Important information is then shown in the
faceplate of the associated device, e.g. process tag number,
location and device type.
• The existing detailed diagnostics information on the problem
can then be called using the "Diagnostics" view depending on
the device type and vendor, e.g. fault description, cause,
trend information or handling instructions.
• They can assess the fault in the "Maintenance" view, and initiate
corresponding reactions. This can be e.g. the input of a
comment or handling instruction, the assignment of a work instruction
number, or the increasing/decreasing of the maintenance
requirement priority depending on the significance for
the technological plant. Current working measures can also
be traced/accompanied in this view. All operations can be
logged. The log also contains the faceplate contents with ID
data, messages, detailed diagnostics information, work instructions,
notes and status.
• The work request with all information gained on the maintenance
station is passed on to the corresponding maintenance
department (identified by symbol "Maintenance order requested").
The release for maintenance of the component can
also be made on the maintenance station (identified by symbol
"Maintenance order being processed"). The current status
of the maintenance measure is then indicated for all involved
parties, and also for subsequent shifts.
• Once the maintenance measure has been carried out, it is
concluded on the maintenance station – the status displays
then return to the normal state. The complete maintenance cycle
is documented on the maintenance station without gaps –
automatically and without additional configuration overhead.

1) With asset TAGs, the number of asset objects monitored in SIMATIC PCS 7
is licensed. An asset object represents individual hardware components
within a SIMATIC PCS 7 project, e.g.
- measuring devices, positioners, switchgear or remote I/O stations
monitored per EDD or
- basic devices or Ethernet components monitored in the maintenance
station via an SNMP OPC link.
The asset TAGs of the SIMATIC PCS 7 Asset Runtime licenses (groups of
10, 100 and 1000) are cumulative (Count Relevant Licenses).
