Preface

Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 system is an example of a modern DCS (Distributed

Control System), which employs current LAN (Local Area Network) technology,
Siemens time-proven PLCs (Programming Logic Controller), and field-bus
technology. The entire system comprises a large number of Siemens hardware
components from instruments, actuators, analog and digital signal modules, to
controllers, communication processors, engineering stations, and operator stations,
etc. All the hardware components are supported and configured by means of the
PCS 7 software tools.

The software system is sophisticated to meet the requirements in designing,

engineering and commissioning various automation tasks in industrial sectors such
as chemicals, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and power
generation, etc.

Basic knowledge of the system is required to structure and plan a PCS 7 project.
This manual thus intends to provide fundamental basics on the system
functions and an approach to engineering and configuring automation tasks.
For further and more detailed information please refer to the electronic manual
collection and the online help function.

The manual covers major components (hardware and software) of the system and
intends to deliver a systematic approach right from the start when you begin to know
or use the system.

The manual uses a unique and concise visual format to explain the system functions,
tools, and their applications. The aim of the format is to help the user to gain the
necessary software skills effectively so that they can move quickly onto solving their
control tasks.

A designed lab project and a number of exercises are provided with solutions and
guidelines. Most of them are taken from real PCS 7 projects. From these examples,
users can not only master the skills in the system administration and in the software
programming but can also learn the know-how that Siemens as a leading control
systems vendor has gained through years of their experience.

The documentation and exercises are valid for the “PCS7 Engineering Toolset V7.0”,
and appropriate hardware and software components are assumed if you want to
work on the exercises.
