A free library for applications in the
water and wastewater industry now
exists for the Simatic PCS 7 process
control system. The Simatic Water
Library, from the Siemens Industry
Automation Division, supplements the
PCS 7 engineering system with over 100
modules for automation and operator
control.
The library also contains matching
project documents, ranging from
specifications to test procedures. Also
new is a free Consultant DVD with an
efficient toolbox that effectively supports
engineering offices, system integrators
and plant operators in all phases of
planning for water management
installations. Specifications of work and
services, for example, can be drawn up
with little effort.
The Simatic Water Library, with
standardised modules and typical
applications, facilitates the engineering
and commissioning of automation
solutions in the water industry. The
library contains automation functions
and graphic user windows, ie the
‘faceplates’ required by the water
industry.
Examples of additional functions
provided by the library are multiple-
maintenance concepts with local panels
and controllers. This makes it possible
to set up hierarchical plant structures
efficiently, with a main control centre,
subordinate control centres and various
stations.
In addition, communication modules
for simplified integration of standard
Simatic S7 400 controllers are provided,
supplemented with product modules
for Simocode motor management and
the Sinamics G120 and Micromaster
MM440 drives.
The Water Library is also suitable for
smaller plants where the Simatic WinCC
Scada system and S7 300 controllers
are used. On the basis of S7 300
controllers, subsystems with local
control such as dosing stations, blower
stations or cogeneration plants can
easily be integrated in the higher-level
process control system.
The Consultant DVD contains the
information needed for all relevant
electrical/electronic product groups in
the planning process.
This information is provided in the
form of around 1,400 bid-invitation text
modules, application manuals, product
information documents (such as
catalogues, data sheets and brochures),
notes on design and configuration tools,
including project files.
Also featured are typical applications,
along with automation and power
distribution configurations.
Products and systems from the areas of
drive technologies, electrical installation
technology, low-voltage controls and
distribution, process instrumentation
and analytics, communication, process
automation and power supply are
also taken into account. In addition,
numerous specimen applications for
medium-sized and large-scale sewage
plants, as well as for medium-sized
waterworks, are available. Examples for
waterworks, pump stations and reverse-
osmosis installations are in preparation.
