The automation of laboratories is particularly challenging: The pressure to reduce time and costs requires a flexible system suitable for labs that provides reliable monitoring and control of the trial process. The SIMATIC PCS 7 LAB is the perfect answer for this challenge.
Trials and parameter screenings are a vital step in process development. They are executed to define the essential characteristics of a process to be used in large-scale technological applications.
Taylor-made automation solutions for laboratories can significantly facilitate development and screening procedures already at this stage. The series of tests can run fully automated without continuous presence of supervising personnel so that processes can be set to a safe state in case of unexpected events. After successful synthesis in the laboratory, the solutions can be transferred in Scale-Up for control tasks over to the pilot plant and to the interconnected production plant.
SIMATIC PCS 7 LAB tailors the requirements of the process development. The scalable solution suits to develop solutions for several measurements and control application. Modular structure of the SIMATIC PCS 7 LAB is based on the proven standard components of the SIMATIC family. The distributed installation in robust cabinets allows flexible use at changing locations. Thanks to the comfortable handling features, a trial setup and configuration does not require specialists for process control engineering.
Basic components for the configuration of a SIMATIC PCS 7 LAB system are five reliable modules interconnected by Profibus:
