Migration / Upgrading Control Systems
Migration Support Center – Service provider for migrating (non-Siemens) control systems to
SIMATIC PCS 7

Upgrading process control systems, especially from other manufacturers, is a very challenging operation. Keys to the success of migration projects are:
• specialist knowledge of the non-Siemens system
• a migration tool
• outstanding knowledge of PCS 7

Knowledge of the customer's application is also vital.

The regional companies have a lot of experience with applications in different sectors. But, are they up to speed on the technologies deployed?

Technical support is provided by three Migration Support Centers (MSC) in Germany:
     • Cologne
          o ABB Contronic P
          o ABB Melody
          o ABB Freelance

     • Mannheim
          o Honeywell TDC 200/3000
          o Invensys I/A series

     • Karlsruhe
          o Teleperm M

The work at the MSCs has global reach, and each MSC has specialized in different legacy systems.
Migration Support Centers have a range of flexible migration tools at their disposal; and they can provide support services for applications of all sizes across all sectors. The provision of MSC services in the regions keeps Siemens ahead of its competitors; enhances the quality of refurbishment and minimizes project risks.
