From well-proven to future-proof: PROFINET
SIMATIC PCS 7 version 9 comprehensively supports PROFINET. PROFINET provides the prerequisites for powerful, plant-wide communication in real time, which is indispensable in the era of Big Data. Furthermore, it is key to the end-to-end diagnostics, monitoring and evaluation of process-relevant data. PROFINET also lets you create flexible and easily scalable network structures. There are further advantages: cost savings across the entire plant life cycle because your wiring costs are so much lower, and because freely scalable redundancy lets you set your plant availability individually. |

From local to global: SIMATIC Compact Field Unit (CFU)
The integration of field devices is no longer a time-consuming exercise: the new SIMATIC CFU (Compact Field Unit) initializes field devices automatically. What used to take 30 minutes - now takes less than one. That’s Plug & Produce. The SIMATIC CFU combines a digital fieldbus with traditional I/Os and is suitable for direct field use, through to Ex-Zone 2. This substantially reduces the footprint of the entire I/O system. The device also reduces the risk of errors in operation, makes plant expansions or modernizations easier, and cuts the costs of the hardware FAT. |

From a major all-rounder to compact specialist: SIMATIC ET 200SP HA
In any facility, space comes at a premium. And at a cost. Our response is the SIMATIC ET 200SP HA. The modular periphery system comes with a highly scalable structure which makes it possible to precisely align expansions in the control panel with actual needs. On demand it can be installed directly in the field. Tool-free connection using push-in terminals and fixed wiring cuts the costs of engineering, assembly and wiring. The SIMATIC ET 200SP HA reduces the footprint of the entire system, saving costs in terms of space, air conditioning, power requirements, etc. |
