SIMATIC software for controllers
Introduction

Automation software
SIMATIC software provides you with a development environment
for the plant-wide engineering of your SIMATIC system. This
enables you to create your SIMATIC controller programs extremely
quickly, and they can then be transferred to other systems and
reused at any time.
Fierce competition and technological
advances have led to the expectation that
systems for production and process automation
should achieve greater performance at
a lower cost. The demand for automation
systems continues to rise – together with
the demand for increasingly extensive user
programs, integrated control environments,
data transparency throughout the entire company, and increased utilization
of distributed intelligence.
While the automation hardware offers continuously higher levels of performance
at a steady price, engineering costs still play a key role in determining
how the overall costs are to be kept in check. With the SIMATIC
software developed by Siemens, you are able to minimize your engineering
times and to respond to changing market requirements quickly.
This allows you to reduce the overall engineering costs during the lifecycle
of your plant.
• Efficient development environment for all SIMATIC controllers for
supporting the entire project life cycle
• Logic, motion control, drives, and process automation can be integrated
into a single, scalable control platform
• Integrated system and configurable process diagnostics for a fast
commissioning procedure and high plant availability thanks to the
early recognition and quick clearance of faults.
