SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system breaks through and gives you a whole new perspective on system performance. PCS 7 enables full integration of all the automation systems in your plant: process, batch, discrete and safety, and all the field devices; instrumentation, analytics, motors, drives, and safety into a single platform, with common tools for engineering, visualization, and facility-wide asset and maintenance management.
PCS 7 allows manufacturers to maximize their return on investment by:
Reducing engineering costs and improving usability through concurrent engineering, device-oriented configuration, and optimization of control strategy
Reducing turnaround time through automatic change management
Providing the ability to modify the system without interrupting operations
Improve batch operations with recipe operation libraries, enhanced recipe generation capabilities, and dynamic unit allocation
Reducing risk associated with safety and FDA regulations
