Automation system and plant bus<br />
Dedicated Ethernet LANs for client-server and server-server<br />
communication<br />
Communication between automation systems, engineering<br />
stations, operator systems over Industrial Ethernet plant<br />
bus, at up to 1 Gpbs; both line or ring topology possible<br />
<strong>Inc</strong>reased availability with redundant ring architecture<br />
Redundant, high-availability S7-400H automation systems,<br />
connected to plant bus over dedicated Ethernet communications<br />
processor (CP)<br />
Optionally, for even higher level of redundancy, each of<br />
the 2 automation station CPUs can be connected via two<br />
separated CPs, thus each CPU to be connected simultaneously<br />
to both networks of redundant plant bus architecture.<br />
Redundancy at the distributed I/O level<br />
Multiple PROFIBUS DP segments can either be connected<br />
to distributed I/Os via the onboard PROFIBUS DP interfaces,<br />
or using additional PROFIBUS communications processor<br />
modules<br />
Using the ET 200M distributed I/O system, redundancy can<br />
be extended down to the I/O module level, whereby a<br />
single sensor/actuator can be connected to redundant I/O<br />
modules<br />
Using redundant controllers, each ET 200M unit is connected<br />
to the redundant PROFIBUS DP segments.<br />
Redundancy of field devices<br />
Intelligent field devices on PROFIBUS PA fieldbus segment<br />
can be connected via a redundant DP/PA link<br />
Non-redundant PROFIBUS DP devices can also be connected<br />
to a redundant PROFIBUS DP network segment, using our<br />
Y-link.<br />
Asset Management for systematic automation and<br />
maintenance of plants<br />
<strong>Siemens</strong> offers an efficient solution for plant maintenance:<br />
SIMATIC PCS 7 Asset Management. The particular highlight<br />
here is that the new feature is simply <strong>integrated</strong> into the<br />
SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system. No additional hardware<br />
or software tools are required. Plant operators and maintenance<br />
engineers use the same SIMATIC PCS 7 tools and<br />
operator interfaces with information that has been filtered<br />
and prepared for the relevant application area.<br />
Complete integration of field devices<br />
SIMATIC PCS 7 is optimized for integration of distributed field<br />
equipment into the process control systems, and is based<br />
on PROFIBUS technology. It supports redundancy and failsafe<br />
architectures, in addition to online expansions, and can<br />
be used in standard environments or in hazardous areas.<br />
The plant can be equipped with conventional SIMATIC ET 200<br />
distributed I/Os, or with state-of-the-art, intelligent field<br />
devices.<br />
