The challenge:

Operational reliability and cost optimization throughout the entire plant life cycle

Apart from a few large plants, the water industry in Germany is characterized by a dense network of several small and medium water and wastewater treatment plants. To ensure smooth operation, operating personnel need access to all necessary information at all times in order to reliably intervene in the process as needed. However, the cycles of innovation of the underlying hardware and software components are continually becoming shorter - which is why it's necessary to invest in up-to-date systems. A future-proof solution must be designed both for high operational reliability and for optimized costs for ongoing system maintenance. The basis for this is transparent, consistent end-to-end engineering as well as integrated functionalities for optimizing operational monitoring.

Our solution

Everything you need in a process control system - installed quickly and open to future developments

We offer a solution package that's based on the proven SIMATIC^® PCS 7 process control system for consistent automation and monitoring of water technology plants. It is designed precisely for the needs of small and medium plants of the water industry.

The process control system is completely pre-assembled and consists mainly of two standard components: the automation station (AS) and the process control computer.

The system is delivered pre-installed and ready to use. Suitably coordinated and system-tested modules for the automation device as well as the operator-process control and monitoring - completed with a supplied sample for visualization -merely require simple and fast parameterization, Communication between the automation controller and process control computer takes place via Ethernet.

Good reasons for small plants based on SIMATIC^®  PCS 7

• Increased operational reliability
• Minimal constraints in ongoing operations
• Reduced costs for system maintenance
• Long-term safeguarding of investments
