Long-term investment protection for companies

Siemens

continues to develop its controller portfolio to handle

sophisticated tasks in the process industry. Users of the flexibly

configurable controllers, which offer a high level of security and avail-

ability, will therefore benefit from long-term investment protection.

The first step was to give the Simatic S7-410 the standard coating

for operation in toxic atmospheres and to further increase the fault

tolerance of the redundant system. Siemens has also extended the

ambient temperature range up to 70 °C, which allows users to deploy

the powerful Simatic PCS 7 controller in harsh environments, such

as in oil and gas applications. The next steps will be, for example,

to further expand the Profinet functional-

ity in order to increase fault tolerance and

availability.

The Simatic S7-410 controller is an integral

part of the Siemens Simatic PCS 7 process

control system and currently the most power-

ful controller in the process industry.This is

particularly obvious in the integrated scaling

feature: it is now possible to apply a uniform

hardware and software environment for very

small systems of 100 I/Os up to large-scale

plants of more than 100 000 inputs/outputs.

The Simatic S7-410 controller is available in

a standard version as well as in fault tolerant

and fail-safe versions. The device therefore

meets all the requirements of the process

industry, including the chemical, glass, metal,

food and beverage,
