SOFTWARE

Cheaper, easier and faster

to a better result

Increasing competitive pressure, markets that are constantly in flux, and continually

growing demands on quality, availability and costs are the challenges that you must

face in your capacity as plant engineer or plant operator. Equally important is the highest

possible degree of data transparency throughout the entire business process. Not only

must these challenges be met, they must be met while minimizing the overhead with

regard to time and costs.

Optimizing engineering and

commissioning

The largest portion of the time and costs required to

implement automation projects is needed for engi-

neering and commissioning. Here is where most of

the savings potential can be found, and where new

ways and means must be discovered to take advan-

tage of it.

Integration as a success factor

In both manufacturing technology and process engi-

neering, the constant improvement of one’s own

competitive capability is of tantamount importance.

Optimization in the design, test and commissioning

phases is an efficient way of reducing your plant’s

life cycle costs.

Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) is the unique,

integrated line of automation products, systems and

solutions for all sectors of industry that can give you

the decisive edge you need.

SIMATIC Software is a core component of Totally

Integrated Automation and provides just the right

tool for every task and every project phase. Whether

production or process engineering, whether machine

or plant construction, SIMATIC Software lets you fully

exhaust the potential in your engineering workflow:

• Fewer interfaces thanks to integrated engineering

environment for logic, HMI, motion control and

process engineering

• Quick conversion of process design into automa-

tion structure thanks to system-wide engineering

from a central point

• Reduction in design and implementation times

thanks to structured, process-oriented pro-

gramming methodology

• Reduced overhead for subsequent projects thanks

to easily reusable blocks

• Less input overhead and no inconsistencies thanks

to common database

• Less work overhead thanks to user-friendly con-

figuration instead of programming

• Faster training for programmers and maintenance

personnel thanks to intuitive operator control and

the use of standard languages

• Portability of user software thanks to common

engineering environment for PLC-based and PC-

based solutions

• Enhanced plant availability thanks to efficient

process diagnostics

Faster from idea to project –

with process-oriented design

Just imagine how much overhead you could save if you used your existing application software for subsequent

projects. Or if you could convert the planned production process directly into a corresponding automation

structure.

SIMATIC Software supports modular and structured design methodology, so that the structure of your

application software corresponds to the design of the production process. This not only makes creation of

your application software faster, but the software is also reusable and easier to maintain.

Modular and structured design

The design of a new production facility is normally

developed in structured form and views the entire

system as a series of machining or production steps.

With SIMATIC Software, you create your automation

projects exactly according to the plant design. The

engineering environment offers a centralized view

of the entire automation project, including pro-

grammable controllers, drives, HMI and field devices.

Your application programs consist of individual soft-

ware blocks which are stored in standard libraries

and can be reused as often as necessary. This allows

you to respond very quickly to specific demands,

since every solution can be flexibly composed of

existing, pretested blocks. In addition, structured

software is much easier for commissioning engineers

and service personnel to understand, adapt and

maintain.

The latest product data for your

construction documents

Whether product data for preparing a tender, device

drawings for the purpose of documentation, dimen-

sioned device drawings for construction documenta-

tion or device interface descriptions for circuit dia-

grams, SIMATIC Software provides all relevant SIMATIC

controller data for popular CAD/CAE systems, such

as ePLAN.

Reuse data from planning tools

The CA01 electronic catalog is ordering catalog and

planning tool in one. After the parameters, e.g. the

number of inputs and outputs in your machine or

plant, have been entered, the configurator autono-

mously compiles the automation components you

need and the list of components is ready for ordering.

All you have to do now is to import this list into the

STEP 7 engineering environment. Your hardware

configuration is generated automatically and you

can immediately begin assigning module parameters.

AND CONFIGURING

PLANNING,

Common database

The integrated, common SIMATIC Software database

means that symbols and data structures have to be

defined only once to be available project-wide. You

use the same symbols and data structures, for ex-

ample, to configure the Human Machine Interface

(HMI) and the process diagnostics. This not only

minimizes input overhead, but also helps avoid un-

wanted inconsistencies.

Integrated engineering for production

and process industry

The SIMATIC process control system is based on

standard hardware and software supplemented by

process engineering components. The common soft-

ware development environment for production and

process automation reduces your development over-

head as well as the overhead for end user training.

Flexibility in network selection

The network over which the SIMATIC controllers will

eventually interchange data plays no role in the

configuring of the communication links because

SIMATIC treats PROFIBUS and PROFINET (Industrial

Ethernet) identically. You can use the same commu-

nication protocols for both networks, allowing you

more flexibility in fulfilling the demands of your

customers without having to constantly change the

configuration.

Reduce TCO

The “Premium Studio” contains a collection of the

most important software tools for Totally Integrated

Automation on a single data medium. Once you have

selected the tools you want, they are installed auto-

matically. The result: noticeably less installation,

handling and maintenance overhead.

the relevant modules directly from the

hardware configuration over the Internet
