Whether you want to integrate machines into existing production lines or link a manufacturing

execution system (MES) to the control system e.g. on the basis of SIMATIC IT: SIMATIC enables

complete integration from the field to the enterprise management level.

Reduction of installation costs

Standard communication platform

With PROFIBUS and PROFINET, SIMATIC offers openstandards with proven global use for all industrialcommunication.The advantage for you: You can integrate devicesfrom a variety of manufacturers seamlessly intoyour automation solution and then quickly andeasily configure the communication of severalmachines in one production line.Consistent integration from the field level to theMES level also simplifies the connection of IT andoffice systems using PROFINET with StandardEthernet supporting TCP/IP communication and

isochronous real time (deterministic real time) on

one cable. Additional outlay due to extra networksor specially designed switches does not arise. Thissaves you costs on cabling and network componentsand considerably reduces administrationoverhead.

Industrial Wireless LAN (IWLAN) technology

In addition, innovations such as Industrial WirelessLAN are also supported by PROFINET: This is possiblewith PROFINET support built into SCALANCE W (ac-cess points and client modules). Various machines,plant segments or mobile users can simply be wire-lessly connected.

The SINEMA E engineering tool will support youwhen planning, simulating, configuring, measuringand documenting your IWLAN.

Simple integration into SCADA system

One important factor for the integration of machinesinto a plant is their connection to the higher levelSCADA system. The direct data access from theSCADA system WinCC or the HMI software WinCCflexible to the variables of STEP 7 makes theconfiguration considerably easier. For example,I/O signals, times, counters or data registers fromthe SIMATIC controller can be effortlessly connectedto WinCC or WinCC flexible. Connection to otherSCADA systems via open interfaces is also possible.

You must respond quickly to customer demands that include more unique requirements and are

becoming more and more complex and you have to adapt your production line accordingly.

The answer to these difficult challenges is SIMATIC.

Greater flexibility in production

Shorter conversion times

When a production line is installed mechanically, theelectronic components very frequently have to beadapted. SIMATIC products enable this to be donequickly and efficiently. For example, the entire con-figuration of the controller, including the networksystems, the HMI and the parameterization of thesensors and actuators takes place in one develop-ment environment in the SIMATIC Manager.As the data is stored in structured and modular form,you can transfer the required configurations andparameter settings to the controller and selectivelymodify the parameterization.

Once created, configurations can be saved in datablocks, reloaded again and again and dynamicallytransmitted to the sensors/actuators. In this wayyou can reconfigure drives and sensors withoutadditional engineering. Installation work can befurther simplified using IWLAN technology: wirelesscommunication saves the expense of installingadditional cabling and connections.

Distributed intelligence and machine-to-machine

communication

PROFIBUS and PROFINET International have defineda standard for implementing modular manufactur-ing structures: PROFINET CBA (Component BasedAutomation). This unique and innovative conceptenables machines to be interlocked with each otherthrough a network connection rather than time-con-suming hardwiring of controller and I/O signals. Thisis especially useful in assembly applications wherefrequently manufactured parts are made on demandwhen an order is placed.

More efficient production planning and control

If various product versions can be manufactured onone production line without machine changeover,the focus rests on integration from the automationto the MES level. On the basis of SIMATIC IT, you canimplement MES solutions that are perfectly tailoredto your specific requirements and you can guaranteethis level of integration. Integration of MES solutionswith the SCADA System WinCC gives you maximum

transparency of your production data.



With SIMATIC products you are ina position to network productionplanning and production data withmaximum efficiency. This inte-gration enables you to exploit allpotential for optimization in pro-duction and to respond fasterand more flexibly to the specificdemands and requests of yourtarget groups.

Whether it is a matter of protection against unauthorized system access, or verifying when

changes were performed on the system and by whom, SIMATIC always has the perfect solution to

these sensitive issues.

Protection against unauthorizeddata access

Security in the networked world

Automation requires a security concept that reliablyprotects the production networks and automationcomponents against unauthorized access. This in-cludes protection against access to automation cells(cell protection concept), protection against indus-trial espionage and manipulation, as well as secureremote access over unsecured networks such as theInternet.You can achieve these security objectives by usingSCALANCE S security components. In addition, allsecurity requirements (authentication, encryption)

for wireless communication via IWLAN in accordancewith IEEE 802.11i are satisfied with SCALANCE W.

Compliance with industry standard guidelines

SIMATIC Logon adds user management to thesystem: Users and access rights can be easily definedfor both engineers and operators. With SIMATICLogon and SIMATIC Audit Trail, changes to thesystem can be traced in accordance with FDA Guide-line CFR21 part 11. This functionality is built-in andno custom programming or special certification forcompliance is required compared to other automa-tion supplier products that do not offer these capa-bilities. This enables strict validation requirementsto be met in tightly-regulated industries.

Safety Integrated stands for the seamless integration of safety into standard automation.

For machine builders and plant managers that means: easier and faster access to a safe and

productive machine.

Protection for personnel and machinery

Integration of safety into standard automation

As a machine and plant builder as well as operatoryou have a legal obligation to ensure the safety ofboth your personnel and the environment.With SIMATIC Safety Integrated, Siemens offersproducts certified by TV (German TechnicalInspectorate), which make it simple for you tomeet the relevant standards: IEC 62061 up to SIL 3,EN ISO 13849-1 up to PL e as well as EN 954-1 up toCat. 4. In line with the Totally Integrated Automationconcept, SIMATIC Safety Integrated incorporatessafety functions into standard automation, thuscreating an integrated overall system with

one engineering, one controller, one distributed I/O,

one bus. The system advantages and extensivefunctionality of SIMATIC are then also available forfail-safe applications, which considerably reducesthe interface costs. Fail-safe communication takesplace over the universally tried and tested PROFINETor PROFIBUS communication standard using thePROFIsafe profile. This enables innovative solutions,such as the wireless fail-safe communication viaIWLAN and PROFINET e.g. using the SIMATICMobile Panel 277F IWLAN with integrated safetyfunction.

One engineering environment for both standard andsafety technology means significantly greater effi-ciency when programming the safety functions.This minimizes overhead for instruction and trainingand simplifies machine operation. In addition, thisconsistent integration permits faster and betterfault diagnostics and clearance ensuring greaterproductivity.

Plant failures must be prevented, especially in critical processes that allow no interruptions. With

fully industry-standard, robust components for machine-level use, SIMATIC ensures maximum

availability and if anything does happen, it supports you in clearing a fault as quickly as possible.

Improving the availability ofmachines and systems

Efficient diagnostics ...

The diagnostic display of SIMATIC can be scaled asrequired: at machine level, along one line or thewhole plant. Fault messages are displayed the sameway on individual machine operator panels or in theplant-wide control room. This means that all relevantinformation is available at all times without a sepa-rate diagnostics system.

Diagnostic functions can also be implemented at any

stage of development, even after the automationsystem is already installed, without any additionalexpense. The standardized use of SIMATIC compo-nents offers one other advantage in networkedsystems. Regardless of which network via PROFIBUSor PROFINET both network topologies provideaccess to all devices from any point in the plant,saving significant troubleshooting and maintenancecosts. The necessary routers for this are implementedautomatically by the SIMATIC products.

... of system and process, even online

The diagnostic messages are generated automaticallywithout any engineering overhead and forwarded tothe HMI system where you can freely define thedisplay options. Many other automation suppliersrequire additional programming for controllerdiagnostics which increases engineering time andcosts, especially when connecting to third-partyHMIs. For efficient process diagnostics, SIMATIC offerspowerful and reliable tools. For example, the optionpackage for STEP 7 PDIAG monitors a signal definedin advance or a critical value in the controllerprogram.In the event of a fault, you will see the entire logicoperation with the current status for this signal nextto a message on the HMI system so that you caneasily identify the cause. In addition, our controllers,panels and switches have integrated web serverfunctionalities for online access to diagnostic infor-mation. The display appears in the web browseritself, without the need for any additional softwaretools.

Plant-wide optimization of the maintenance

expenditure

The SIMATIC Maintenance Station offers a plant-wide

view of all components in use. Apart from thediagnostic information, it also stores all device data.On the basis of this configuration data, the mainte-nance needs of all devices can be recorded andmaintenance work planned accordingly anotherenabler for increasing availability.

Fast fault clearance

SIMATIC I/O modules are equipped with permanentwiring that permits a replacement of moduleswithout any wiring expense. In addition,SIMATIC S7-400 controllers and the distributedI/O systems SIMATIC ET 200S, ET 200M, ET 200iSP

and ET 200pro support hot swapping.

SIMATIC products ensure maximumuptime of your machines andprocess systems. Robust controllers,I/O, devices and HMI productscombined with advanced softwaretools and diagnostics keep yourplant running efficiently and alsovia Internet.

This means that modules can also be replaced duringoperation. When replacing SIMATIC products, theconfiguration data is either copied automaticallyusing memory cards or through the higher-levelcontroller and is then available again after thereplacement without the need for reconfiguration.

Convenient user administration

WinCC flexible and WinCC enable you to configuredifferent user interfaces. The central, plant-wide useradministration SIMATIC Logon permits extendedsecurity functions especially with regard to the FDAvalidation. In this way, for example, the operatingoptions for certain users can be restricted in orderto prevent settings or inputs that are incorrect in thefirst place.

Robust and maintenance-free

For demanding applications we offer you particularlyrobust devices. These include: SIPLUS extreme versi-ons for an extended temperature range; special de-vice versions with IP65/67 degree of protection foruse directly at the process; I/O modules that with-stand high accel-eration forces, for mounting directlyon robot arms; operator panels with IP65 protectionon the front or fully protected versions for swivel-armor pedestal mounting; industrial PCs with high resi-stance to vibration and electromagnetic interference.

Maximum robustness during construction and instal-lation is ensured, for example, by gold-plated contactpins on I/O modules or M12 plugs for PROFINET con-nection. Robustness plays a particularly importantrole in PC systems. For this reason, our EmbeddedAutomation products are designed to operatecompletely without fans or hard disks.

Fault-tolerant system design

SIMATIC permits the redundant design of the system adapted to your process. There are hardly any limitsto the scalability: from redundant controllers andbus systems to redundantly designed I/O interfacemodules. The great advantage is: the programmingtakes place in the same STEP 7 environment and theredundant design in the I/O station is executed usingstandard components. In addition, the H-controllersmake hot-standby possible: in the event of a failurethe redundant controller takes over the processingwithin 100 ms. If required, the high-availabilitycontrollers can be located 10 km apart.

The number of units produced is the most important performance data in the manufacturing

industry. The decisive factor for this is the efficiency of the entire production line or plant. In

order to identify any bottlenecks or hidden potential, you require a precise overview of the entire

production process. This is the only way you can be sure that you are making maximum use of your

production capacities.

Optimum production processes throughimprovement of plant-wide transparency

Optimization of production lines

If the machines on your production lines are alreadyequipped with SIMATIC (both communication andHMI), you will quickly obtain meaningful informa-tion about the entire line, because machines canvery easily be networked on the basis of PROFINET.Additionally, PROFIBUS and PROFINET bus systemscan be combined flexibly with one another.

If, for example, PROFIBUS is used for each individualmachine, the communication of the entire line canbe implemented via PROFINET. If the machinealready has a panel/panel PC configured withWinCC flexible, you can combine all the local HMIinformation into an overall picture of the line withthe aid of Sm@rt Access (Master Control Station).The configuration of the individual machinesremains unaffected by this. The advantage for youis that the information of all machines in the lineis displayed centrally on one operator panel. Thisenables you, for example, to respond with consid-erably more speed and precision in the event of afault. This operating concept not only saves valuablemaintenance time, but also supports you in optimiz-ing your production lines with regard to output,quality and other key performance indicators foroptimizing the operation of machines and plants.

Simple integration of MES and ERP systems

Integrated data transparency from the sensorthrough to the MES is a decisive factor in ensuringa smooth production process. With WinCC as yourSCADA system you can implement the connectionto the MES system SIMATIC IT with ease. WinCC PlantIntelligence and SIMATIC IT Plant Intelligence offer

you the option of expanding WinCC on a modularbasis to create a complete MES system. To obtain thevarious types of information that are required acrossthe production process, the following plant intelli-gence options are available for WinCC: Data Monitor: recording, analysis and reporting

of production data and production status alsoavailable over the Internet.

Downtime Monitor: determination of keyperformance indicators (KPIs) of machines/plantsfor increasing the availability and efficiency.

Process Monitor: recording, analysis and storageof process data.

With consistency in engineeringand communication, SIMATICensures plant-wide transparencyacross all levels from the controllevel (STEP 7), through the opera-tion management level (WinCC)to the production control level(SIMATIC IT) without any com-plicated programming.

The plant intelligence options can be expanded by asimple upgrade to an MES system for raising theproductivity and for high security of investment.With SIMATIC IT we are able to offer you a completeMES solution that enables you to record and evalu-ate data, even across different sites. Planning or jobdata from the enterprise resource planning (ERP)level (i.e. SAP) can be integrated in the process. Apowerful workflow management system supportsyou in executing and optimizing your complete busi-ness processes.

Integration from the sensor to the MES system

With SIMATIC IT you are opting for integration fromthe automation level to the MES a requirementthat is becoming increasingly important. This isbecause information carried by the material or work-piece itself is being used to an ever greater extent todetermine the individual processing steps. Siemensoffers you an enormous range of different sensorsfor reading and writing this information, e.g. RFID or

data matrix code. For example, production data thatis read via RFID can be communicated directly to theMES and accepted into the business processes(workflow) defined there.

One network across all levels

PROFINET provides you with a standardized protocolfor this communication. PROFINET includes unre-stricted support to the Ethernet standard and at thesame time offers the highest performance for inte-grated communication from the field level throughto the IT and office world. Without the need foradditional routers and links, PROFINET ensures ahigh-speed exchange of data and supports allcommunication standards common to the officeenvironment, such as IWLAN or Internet access.Further information on this topic:

Growing demands are being made on machines in terms of performance and functionality. In this

respect too, you have the best preparation in the form of SIMATIC. This is because our comprehensive

range of systems leaves nothing to be desired in respect of performance.

Fast production processes due toperformance and technological functions

Fast program processing and precisionWithout exception, SIMATIC controllers are charac-terized by excellent performance. For particularlyfast program processing (e.g. for closed-loop controlwith PROFINET) the 319-3 PN/DP CPU or the modularS7-mEC RTX embedded controller are available.High-speed communication of the controller with theI/O is possible with PROFINET and isochronous realtime (deterministic real time): a cycle time ofup to 250 s with jitter of less than 1 s can beachieved. With PROFIBUS a response time of up to1 ms is possible.

Integrated technology functions

You can integrate high-performance or complexapplications such as the technology functions ofcounting/measuring, closed-loop control, cam con-trol and motion control into the SIMATIC systemwithout any inconsistencies between systems. Theparameterization and programming are executedin the familiar STEP 7 environment.The technology functions are available in variousdesigns with scalable hardware and software:

Distributed intelligent ET 200S modules Parameterizable function modules for expanding

the S7-200/S7-300/S7-400 controllers thatperform the technological tasks automaticallyand reducing their workload

Technology controllers: S7-300 CPUs withintegrated PLCopen-compliant motion controlblocks and isochronous PROFIBUS for linkedmotion control processes of several axes

User-configurable application modules and controlsystems, e.g. SIMATIC TDC, for the highest per-formance of the most complex technology tasks

For particularly high precision as well as a fast andreliable operating sequence, which are of particularimportance when controlling drives, modules withisochronous PROFIBUS are available (e.g. theSIMATIC Technology Controller or the FM 458-1DPapplication module). Isochronous mode refers tothe synchronous coupling of the signal recordingand output which makes time-critical applicationspossible.
