SIMATIC PCS 7 Trainer Package Totally Integrated Automation with SIMATIC PCS 7  The SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system is an important component of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA), the unique core offered by Siemens for integrated, customized automation in all sectors of the production, process and hybrid industry. TIA makes Siemens the only company in a position to provide integrated automation for the entire process chain, from input logistics over the production or primary process and downstream (secondary) processes to output logistics. This is suitable for optimizing all operational sequences, i.e. from the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) level over the Management Execution System (MES) level and from the Control level to the field level.Integrated in an all-encompassing automation solution for a production location, SIMATIC PCS 7's task is, above all else, the automation of primary processes. Secondary processes (such as bottling, packaging) or input and output logistics (such as material supply, warehousing), in contrast, are often handled by PLC-based or PC-based SIMATIC components.  The advantages of Totally Integrated Automation, particularly integrated data management, communication and configuration, are already apparent in the planning and engineering phases, but also during installation and commissioning, day-by-day operations and maintenance, service and modernization. Integrated data management means that all software components access the same database, making entries and modifications necessary at only one location within a project. This reduces work overhead while at the same time avoiding potential errors. Symbolic designations, once introduced, are understood by every software component. Data consistency is also ensured when more than one person works on the same project. Parameters defined in the engineering system can be forwarded across network boundaries to field-level sensors, actuators or drives. Integrated communication from the corporate management level to the field level is based on international standards such as Industrial Ethernet or PROFIBUS, and also support the global flow of information via the Internet. Because the participating hardware and software components are familiar with these communication mechanisms, communication links, even cross-system links or cross-network links, are easy to configure. Use of an engineering system with a uniform, perfectly-matched set of tools minimizes configuration overhead. The engineering tools for application software, hardware components and communication can be called from within a central project manager (SIMATIC Manager), which is also the base application for the creation, management, archiving and documentation of a project. The compatibility of further developments is guaranteed within TIA. This gives the plant operator investment protection and allows him or her to modernize and expand the plant over its entire life cycle. SIMATIC PCS 7 offers you the following benefits: With its future-oriented concept, modular and open architecture based on state-of-the-art technology from SIMATIC, consistent use of industrial standards and control functionality coupled with a high level of performance, the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system enables the cost-effective implementation and economical operation of control systems in all life phases and under consideration of all aspects, from planning, engineering, commissioning and training over operation, maintenance and service to expansion and renovation. At the same time, SIMATIC PCS 7 couples a high level of performance and reliability with operation that is simple, safe and extremely user-friendly. You profit above all from Totally Integrated Automation with the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system thanks to
