Efficient laboratory automation

Automation for the laboratory –
SIMATIC PCS 7 LAB
• Specially for requirements in the laboratory
• Modularly constructed with standard components:
SIMATIC PCS 7 Box and ET 200M
or ET 200pro I/O modules
• Connection of laboratory equipment
(dosing units, measuring instruments,
pumps, agitators, etc.) via I/O
• The same engineering tools, visualization
and libraries as PCS 7
• Processes are directly transferrable from the laboratory to the production
plant - without the need for any additional engineering
• Processes can be developed and optimized more quickly, products can
be moved more quickly from the development phase to the production
phase
Fault-tolerant process control –
SIMATIC S7-400FH
Safe, fault-tolerant controller for critical processes
• Minimization of risk for critical applications
to prevent accidents with consequences
for humans, equipment or the
environment
• If faults occur in the process or within the
controller, the process will be placed in a
safe state
• Fail-safe automation systems can be configured as single controllers
or in a redundant configuration (FH)
• The redundancy of FH systems is not relevant for safety, but it
increases the availability of fail-safe and fault-tolerant automation
systems
• The maximum safety class of SIL 3 is already achieved with single
controllers
• Flexible Modular Redundancy (FMR) enables the implementation of
multiple fault-tolerance levels precisely where the application
requires them.
