SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system

SIMATIC PCS 7 Basic Package
The SIMATIC PCS 7 Basic Package designed for approx.
650 process tags has a performance higher than that of the
SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX. This attractive product bundle equipped
with all basic control system functions (AS, OS, ES) allows a
low-cost start to process automation with standard SIMATIC
PCS 7 hardware and software components. Thanks to the upward
compatibility of hardware and software, all components
can be used further and expanded without limitation should
the plant configuration be subsequently increased.
Individual and flexible adaptation
of the SIMATIC PCS 7 functionality
Depending on the specific requirements, the user and the
planning engineer can carry out the following:
■ Select various powerful automation systems
■ Incorporate distributed or central I/Os step-by-step
■ Dimension and configure display and operating components:
from single-user system up to distributed multi-user
system, also redundant as option
■ Specifically expand the operator system functionality using
various hardware and software components, e.g. with
SFC visualization, special viewers, remote operation and
monitoring via Internet, or long-term archiving
■ Select the engineering system according to the scaling
with process objects, and expand further with optional
functions
■ Configure the hardware and software components for
special automation tasks: SIMATIC BATCH, SIMATIC Route
