Siemens PCS 7

Siemens main logo

The SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system is Flexible, Scalable and Powerful. The PCS 7 offers a solution for all requirements of production that include continuous and batch. One advantage of a Siemens PCS 7 DCS is its ability to handle a large amount of distributed IO. Of all the vendors we work with, they have the largest variations of IO cards.

With regard to Batch, The SIMATIC BATCH software can be used to implement even the most complex batch processes effectively and at a reasonable cost. Capacity utilization can be planned. This can contribute significantly to increased productivity of your plant and minimized energy costs.

Protecting Your Process

Safety is paramount across the process industry, encompassing various aspects such as process and plant safety, HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) concerns, and IT security. With the discontinuation of support for certain operating systems, plant owners and operators face heightened security risks due to the lack of critical updates. This exposes vulnerabilities that can be exploited by cybercriminals.

Alongside maintaining an updated lifecycle status for all components, structured and systematic plant modeling for Siemens systems engineering contributes to enhanced productivity, thereby promoting sustainable plant operation and greater safety for your people and processes.

In addition, CMTs enable fast mass data engineering, which significantly reduces the risk of errors. Engineering can be performed using the SIMATIC PCS 7 Technological List Editor, a Microsoft Excel-based editor that requires no system-specific knowledge.

Benefits of PCS 7 Batch

Innovation: Version-controlled recipe management helps you to optimize products and production processes. Reproducibility: Using recipe-based batch control, the same product quality is achieved under clearly defined production conditions.

Traceability: Using the batch report, the traceability of the production sequences is guaranteed for each batch. Effective use of resources: Differentiated occupation strategies on units means the plant capacity utilization can be planned. This can contribute significantly to increased productivity of your plant and minimized energy costs.

FDA-compliant validation: Proof that the production process can reproducibly meet the acceptance criteria in practical use is facilitated by:

  • Central user administration with access control via the SIMATIC Logon
  • Audit trails (change log) – Electronic signature in accordance with 21 CFR Part11
  • System-supported version control of recipe objects – Consistent standardization

Benefits of PCS7 Automation

Siemens PCS 7 stands as a pinnacle in process control systems, offering unparalleled flexibility, availability, and ergonomics. As a cornerstone of industrial automation, PCS 7 empowers businesses with the agility to adapt to evolving production needs swiftly. Its robust architecture ensures uninterrupted operations, guaranteeing maximum uptime and reliability. Moreover, PCS 7 boasts ergonomic design principles, enhancing user experience and efficiency for operators across diverse industrial environments.

Flexibility

The configuration can be expanded at any time; therefore, plant construction can take place using individual, multi-level operation planning.

Availability

The redundant architecture design provides fault-tolerant operation if a component fails at all levels.

Ergonomics

The integrated visualization and notification concept supports plant operators with targeted navigation across the plant.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
