Process Automation

Laboratory work is characterized by frequently-changing experiments and test series in which valuable findings, data and parameters for series production are gathered. With the SIMATIC PCS 7 LAB, such processes can be automated both safely and efficiently and adapted rapidly and flexibly to changing requirements. The new follow-up system SIMATIC PCS 7 LAB V2 is even more compact and versatile. In addition to the SIMATIC ET 200M distributed I/O system, it also supports the ET 200pro with its high IP 65 degree of protection.
