Control system SPPA-T3000

Effective support in the event of an alarm

SPPA-T3000 supports the operator in critical situations and provides the right cues. The innovative alarm handling simplifies operation in the event of a fault and keeps the message flood under control. Alarms and warnings are accompanied by all necessary supporting information, immediately triggering root cause analyses, and providing targeted guidance for rapid resolution. Special alarm classes, specifically designed to avoid a plant trip or forced outage, include clear instructions for action – ideal when fast, precise action is required to keep the plant running.

Efficient workflows in daily operation

SPPA-T3000 ensures smooth daily operation. Analyses, diagnoses, shift handovers, logs, and report documentation are handled quickly and easily. A variety of applications can be selected directly from the HMI – from convenient shift handover and intelligent help functions to the Alarm Management & Analysis (AMA) tool and accurate real-time data for easier maintenance planning. In short, the entire system is designed to continuously optimize workflows in the control room.

Lifecycle concept

Siemens develops durable systems and supports them for the entire lifetime of a power plant. Concepts for participation in innovative developments are an integral part of our system development from day one. With SPPA-T3000, you can run different generations of control systems in parallel. This gives you the flexibility to tailor lifecycle concepts to your requirements. Innovations and technical advances are designed to be integrated without system changes – for long-term stability due to a future-proof system.

New hardware

The modular, compact SIMATIC ET 200SP HA I/O system supports the entire range of I/O functions for power plant automation. It is connected via PROFINET to the AS-S7 automation server or to the AS3000, which in Release 8.2 is based on new hardware.

The CS3000 communication server hardware has also been renewed. You can rely on high-performance processing units required by demanding automation tasks and closed-loop controls as well as a design that withstands harsh environmental conditions. Therefore, you’ll be on the safe side over the long term.
