II. Higher performance due to increases in system reliability and
availability
With SIMATIC PCS 7, you experience performance in the form of efficiency,
for example, by configuring with a central, powerful engineering
tool; or in the form of plant availability that we offer in both hardware
and software at all levels to match your requirements.
The high-performance components used, such as controllers with
unique processing speed, also support demanding applications. Redundant
system components on all levels (field bus, I/O, networks, controllers,
OS/Batch/Historian server etc.) increase the availability of the system
and therefore your plant.
III. Scalability of systems from hundreds up to
100,000 inputs/outputs
SIMATIC PCS 7 can be adapted flexibly for different plant sizes and
customer requirements. A SIMATIC PCS 7 system can be subsequently
expanded with no problem if there is an increase in capacities or a technological
modification.
SIMATIC PCS 7 is scalable, from small single-station systems with around
160 process tags, e.g. for laboratory automation or use in a technical
college, all the way to distributed multiple-station systems with client/
server architecture and up to 60,000 process tags for automation of a
very large production plant or a plant network at a single production
location.
