Overview
The solution involved meticulous planning and the selection of Siemens Simatic PCS7 System. Detailed analysis of machines and existing system signals led to the creation of a precise IO list, outlining how to interface with machines, field devices, and sensors. Following hardware selection and procurement, the programming stage commenced with SCADA software on an industrial pre-assembled PC.
Thorough testing, including process simulation, graphical interface evaluation, user permissions, reports, batches, and recipes, ensured that the new system operated flawlessly as intended. The hardware replacement process involved connecting around 1600 signals to the new panel with precision and meticulous attention. Once complete, the system underwent dry run tests and then ran with actual materials and recipes, achieving seamless results.
Continuous monitoring post-transition ensured smooth operation, and no contingencies arose. The client was highly satisfied with the transition, appreciating the benefits and features of the powerful Simatic PCS7 Batch system integrated into their facility.
